I recently purchased a Panasonic CD stereo system SC-PM53. Each speaker has 4 wires (??) going to it. I want to route it to a speaker switch and then be able to use the main unit to drive other speakers (2 wires/speaker) either in commo or independently. I have a speaker switch I have used with previous systems which only accepts 2 wires/ speaker. How do I proceed?
Thanks

This might be a problem. Looks like your unit is bi-amped, with separate power amps and speaker wires for the woofers and tweeters. Roughly 40w/channel into each driver, with a crossover around 3 KHz.

Unless someone has a better idea, you will either need to get some biamp-capable speakers (either buying them, making them, or going inside existing 2-way speakers with some cutters and new wire) or mix the signals together with resistors and feed them through another amplifier.

Wish I had better news.
