John,
I will try responding in case Tom is not monitoring right now. That
adapter wires all the tips together and all the rings together.
Tom's adapter wires the tip of the plug to the tip of one of the jacks,
and wires the ring of the plug to the TIP of the other jack.
I do not know of any ada
Hi Tom,
Doesn't the Radio Shack 274-375 stereo adapter at $4.50 do the same thing as
your circuit board? See

Julian,
What is missing there is that with those adapters, one must wire one
speaker to the tip and the other to the ring to achieve dual speaker
reception.
It would be best to have both speakers wired the same - only to the tip
and sleeve - Tom's homebuilt adapter does that.

I solved this issue by installing a male RCA connector on each of my
speakers. Then I bought a long RCA to 1/4" in headphone cable that
didn't have a strain relief type thing on it. The strain relieve that
I'm talking about are the ones that don't allow the cable to split. I

Tom,
A great idea (why didn't I think of that). I don't cart my K3 around
much, but I use 2 speakers for AFX. It is not 'nice' having both
speakers tied to a single stereo jack.
Another solution, although not as elegant, is to use a Y-adapter. If it
is a commonly manufactured adapter, the on
Man... what a BIG discussion... whew!
Early on with my K3, I found that having two speakers (L & R) plugged into the
rear panel SPKR jack of the K3 was turning out to be a real P.I.T.A.
I had two speakers, with somewhat lengthy (though folded up and tied) leads
which extended left and right acros
