A little background first:
I am building a guitar talkbox. I found an old amplified PC speaker that uses the TEA2025 amp chip. This chip is rated at about 2.5 Watts per channel stereo output. Unfortunately, this is just a little underpowered for my needs.
Question:
Can I simply take the outputs from both Left and Right channels and connect them to one speaker for a combined output of about 5 Watts?
If so, is there anything else I need to do to ensure the amp or speaker don't blow up?
Alternatively, the chip will work in bridged mode. Should I just modify the circuit board to run it in bridged mode.
