Why every combination works

Case Input from BT Module Tone Control Used Output to Speakers What Happens Sound Result
1 1 input (L or R) only Single pot (bass/treble/volume) Split into 2 speakers Same signal copied to both Mono sound on both
2 1 input (L or R) only Dual pot (bass/treble/volume) To 2 speakers (L+R used same input) Both channels get same input but separate control paths Mono in stereo path
3 2 inputs (L+R combined into 1) Single pot Split into 2 speakers Mixed mono sent equally Mono (mixed L+R)
4 2 inputs (L+R separately) Dual pot To 2 speakers (L → Left, R → Right) True stereo control Stereo sound
5 1 input used → single pot circuit duplicated twice 2 separate single pots (one per speaker) Each speaker gets processed signal Both sides controlled separately but same source Dual mono
6 2 inputs → dual pot circuit duplicated twice 2 stereo tone control sections Each channel processed individually Full stereo control twice Stereo (redundant, but works)
7 2 inputs (L+R) → 6-pin pot (dual gang) Single shaft dual pot (stereo) To 2 speakers Left and Right controlled together Stereo (best way)
