Adding a 1/4" output to a speaker

Adding a 1/4" output to a speaker

Hello there!

I have an Ion Audio IPA17 Tailgater 12v 5ah battery powered portable speaker that is great for tailgating etc. The problem is that it doesn’t have a 1/4" output to link another IPA17 to it. I also own an Ion IPA03 that does have the 1/4" output. Is there a way to add a 1/4" output to this speaker? I have pictures that I will post of the circuit board from the IPA17 with no output and the IPA03 with the output.

IPA17 W/out 1/4" output


IPA03 W/ 1/4" output link

Anything? If this isn’t the right forum or I need to add more info and pics to the thread please let me know.

I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you just split your signal before hitting the speaker to feed a second speaker?

The goal is to be able to temporarily hook an ipa03 to an ipa17 to another ipa17 speaker with 1/4" to RCA plug. How do you split the signal? I’ll post more pics.
