Hi All,
First time on the forum. I have been searching the web to find the solution to a problem I have but have not found a definitive answer and hoping someone as the knowledge to steer me in the right direction.. it's probably a very simple one and i may already have the answer but want to check before I waste my money or worse burn something out.
I have a standard 2 channel Class D receiver (Aiyima A07 pro) which drives a pair of floor standing speakers in stereo. The receiver has a jack socket line out and I would like to use this line out to feed an additional two self contained stereo 2.1 active speaker boxes/units that I have built (each has a 2.1 class D receiver with left and right woofers and a sub).
I want to wire it so that one of these unit plays only the left channel and the other only the right channel and in effect make one large stereo system with stereo bass. Can anyone suggest the best way to connect the line out (jack stereo) from the master receiver so that the only the left output channel is given to both left and right input channels of one of the slave receivers (which has stereo jack input but would effectively only play one channel through all drivers) and only the right output channel to both left and right input channels of the other slave receivers (which also has stereo jack input).
I have attached and annotated picture to help describe the desired setup. (also a picture of the finished setup... though only one of the slave boxes is pictured in this photo)
Can you simply take the left channel output from the master receiver, split it, and then feed it to both the left and right channels on the (left) slave receiver (and same for the right channel to the right slave receiver) or is it more complicated than that?
I'm sure this is a very weird illogical setup (if only used in this configuration) but I have it this way because both of the salve speaker boxes can also be battery powered and I sometime detach them from the system and take them to off grid places to play mini sound system sessions.
thanks in advance

Yes, it's no more complicated than that.
Just don't get your channels in a twist!
Great, I think I was getting confused with the need for resistors when converting from mono to stereo etc. but I guess i'm not actually trying to use mono at any stage, just a single channel to feed something designed for a stereo input.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, time to buy some bits.
