[sdiy] setting up monitoring-one stereo out to one speaker MONO

[Dan Snazelle]

sorry if this is OT but ir does apply to my synth diy shop.

Ok. I have a great stereo in the kitchen but its too big to bring in my shop. I need to be able to hear reference CD's, test mixes, tones, etc.
What i would like to do is wire up a box or an adapter that will allow me to feed both speaker outs (+/- LEFT and +/- RIGHT) into a box that allows me to send one pair of speakers into the original room (kitchen) and then take a MONO feed (so if i am listening to stereo recordings, i hear ALL the information)into one speaker in my SHOP. by the way it is an OLD akai stereo receiver. (akai aa-r41) it used to have two sets of speaker outs but channel B is fried.

i dont know if this is possible. If having 2 channels (kitchen and SHOP) feed off of one amp is going to mess up the amp due to impedance issues, than maybe instead i could just A or B between the two instead of them always both playing.

beyond that the major hurdle is just figuring out how to convert the  4 wires coming into the box into 2 wires (mono +/-) that connect to the 8 ohm SHOP speaker.

does this sound possible? easy?

are there any schematics already out there?

can anyone give me info, point me in the right direction,etc.

thanks
