      One can easily use a Spark amp with a Headrush FRFR-112 speaker. Connect the 3.5mm end of a summing cable to the headphones-out port on the Spark. Connect the 1/4" end to the input jack on the Headrush speaker. Turn it all on. You're done.

          @stinger0625 If you mean: Could one run both the Spark and the Headrush speakers at the same time, then 'no', one cannot? Using the headphone-out jack mutes the Spark speakers. Even if the Spark speakers were active, one would never be able to hear them over the Headrush's.
          If you mean: Could one could run two Headrush speakers in stereo, or two in mono, then 'yes', that could be done? A pedalboard, or equivalent, would be needed to do that.
          NOTE: if you wish to hear through a speaker all of the great tones that you hear through your headphones, this FRFR speaker is the way to go!

            @mhmercer Two headrush speakers in stereo wouldn't need a pedalboard -- just a cable with a 1/8" stereo mini plug on one end and two 1/4" phone plugs on the other end, one for left and one for right, each of those plugs going into a separate speaker.

              @dhbailey True: that would allow for two speakers from the headphone-out jack. It would not be in two-channel stereo, though, unless one isolated the tip of one 1/4" plug and the ring of the other; an interesting idea. Has anyone done this?

                @mhmercer Huh? All the cables I've seen that have a stereo 1/8" plug on one end and two 1/4" mono plugs on the other definitely split the two leads of the stereo plug, so that the left channel goes to one of the 1/4" plugs and the right channel goes to the other 1/4" plug. They're two different colors usually red and white.

                  @mhmercer No I meant two Headrush to run it in stereo.

                    @stinger0625 Yes, two speaker stereo can be done. Headrush's web site shows a diagram for it.

                        This sounds like a great idea. I have two HeadRush FRFR108's to try this on, as soon as my Spark arrives.
