Need help with electronic sound system

[Forestmoonstudio]

I have a programmable sound board that runs to a single 8ohm speaker.
I want to see if I could run it through a powered speaker system?

I stripped the wires from a headphone speaker set and was wondering if it would work to solder the wires from the sound system to the powered speaker system?

Bump.Anyone?

There isn't a fool proof answer, you need to determine the type of output and the type of input to give a 'proper' answer...

But, try this for a start it 'should' work, on the headphone wires, connect bare copper to bare copper, and connect red to green... Now you have a single pair of wires instead of 4...

Take the speaker wires from the sound kit, connect the 'black' speaker wire to one side of a 10K Ohm resistor and then connect the other side of the 10K Ohm resistor to the bare wires on the headphone jack... Take the white speaker wire and connect it to the red/green combo on the headphone jack...

I can't say that is the 'correct' way to do it but it should work, the reason for the 10K Ohm resistor is that I'm guessing (without being able to test) the output of the sound systems is BTL (Bridge Tied Load) so the 10K will stop that phase of the BTL from being shorted out to ground... If it's not a BTL you can skip the resistor but you would have test for that...

Try that out and report back...
