I recently built a portable speaker box for my mp3 player.(nothing technical, just two speakers and a wire to plug it in.) the problem is is that is not very loud so i wanted to build an amplifier for it.i went online and found plenty of plans for one, but i am using parts taken from other electronics so my choices are limited.I'm pretty sure i can build the curcuit but i am confused when it comes to connecting it to my setup. The plans i am following use one speaker and i have two. when i built the speaker box i tried connecting both speakers together to give me mono sound but the sound would cut out periodically. so i connected them separately.(one positive wire to each speaker and a common ground) all the plans use one input and one output. if i connect both red wires from the mp3 to the amp and then run both speakers off of the one output will i still have the same problem? also i was hoping to use the headphone socket from a stereo to connect it but that appears to have seven pins to connect to and at most i would have 4 wires.(2 red and 2 black) so i don't know what to do.
does anyone have any input on this subject? please keep it simple, I am still new at this.
