help hook up mono sound!!
AlanS17:
Are you not getting enough sound out of the one speaker? Because adding a second isn't going to help much. It's still mono sound.
RayB:
That hook up should work, but is totally pointless.
What game board are you running? It should have onboard volume.
beek:
Just remember that hooking up two speakers in parallel like you have drawn will halve the resistance of the total circuit and according to ohms law will require twice the amps. If they are 8 ohm speakers or greater I wouldn't worry about it, but if they are 4 ohms you might have problems if your amp isn't designed to run at a net of 2 ohms.
(2) 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel will be a net of 4 ohms.
(2) 8 ohm speakers wired in series will be a net of 16 ohms.
I not quite sure what you are going to gain as the output will still be mono.

can you show me a diagram how to hook up 2 speaker in series, honestly i dont know crap about parallel or series is about, that diagram i drew is just out of my head, i didnt know that diagram is what you called parallel..the whole point of this thread is i want better sound..just like you would like to listen to radio with 2 speaker instead one..2 is always better than 1...
RayB:
How is two better than one unless the speakers are spaced apart? Like having mono sound come out of a speaker on one side of the room, and then out of another speaker on the other side WILL sound better, yes, but if both speakers are close together and right in front of you, no. It will sound the same.
Sounds like maybe you need more amplification, or a better quality speaker.
