Hi all, and sorry for the rookie vibe I´m going to pass out here now.
Not sure if I hit the most correct category here but here we go.
I have today a couple of HiFi speakers that I don´t have any use for. But would like to try do do something fun with.
I have a small Stereo amplifier with BT.
I want to connect this to one of the two speakers today and will have to mix this into mono. Fair enough so far.
BUT, it would be fun to repurpose the existing speaker connectors on the speaker, making a switch that turns the audio back to its originally stereo and then being able to use both speakers.
Anyone have a schematics or DIY description to how to achive this switch in a good way?

Hmm, the thing is that if you keep the channel outputs stereo, when you mix them you'll be doing so at speaker level. To prevent overloading the amps in the case they carry a different signal, you want (for example) 4 ohms between them. Say, a 2 ohm resistor at the output of each individual amp.
This will affect the speaker output level, change the frequency response and create heat that you'll need to dissipate safely.
