I have two ceiling speakers (in a bedroom). Unfortunately it appears that one speakercable has been damaged somewhere along the route during the renovation works ofmy flat. The speaker itself has been tested by the installer and works fine. Soit looks as something has either cut partially the cable or a screw/nail hasbeen put inside. It is not possible to determine where the cable has beendamaged as it goes a long way through walls/ceiling. However only one conductorof the speaker cable has been damaged.
Could I bypass the damaged conductor by using the undamaged conductor for thepositive and then wire the negative connector of this speaker to the otherceiling speaker (which speaker cable is not damaged) so to as to share itsnegative conductor? Hence there will be 2 positive conductors for each speaker,but one shared negative conductor. Could I still get Stereo audio? Will the AVRnegative connector be overloaded? Is there a piece of equipment to be used topotentially solve this problem?
For reference, the AVR is a Yamaha RX-V373.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
