I have my stock HU and one 6x9 speaker. Is it possible to run all four speaker leads to this one speaker so it's mono and not stereo? I've got these and some leftover MDF from my sub box. I'm just looking for a good project for these so they're not just laying around. TIA

Yeah but I've only got the one speaker right now. That thing's sick. I got my answer on another forum. The two front leads will go to the one speaker and I'll run the power off of a computer transformer if I can figure that out

Computers run on 12v I think. The fans I tore out of it were 12v.

Why are you gonna be running both front to one speaker? That's a great way to burn out the mosfetts
