Ah hey, I thought initially that he was giving a go at *powering* a single speaker with only a cd-player, via a hacked-off, bare-wire splitter-- I.e. take the ends of the Y, hack them off and strip the wire a bit, then wrap the bare wires into the speaker terminals.

I've seen it done. It worked (not too much volume). But I've never done it myself-- has anyone here actually done this?
