Mono audio is usually preferable in utility applications but if only stereo is available 
multiple speakers in the same room or zone should be connected alternately to the 
left and right channels.
In choosing locations for the speakers consider the “coverage” required with respect 
to the likely listener positions. Try to ensure that coverage is even and that as

wax paper sheet to protect the scrim. When the paint is dry replace the scrim cloth
