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?

you can Bridge the two channel.. see page 4 of the datasheet of TEA2025. http://www.bookly.com/images/TEA2025.pdf

OK - I'll have a look at the board and see how easy that might be.
