I've been thinking of doing that too. (hook up to left channel). Now does it matter which of the two (red or white) you place in the left channel. You see, my 1/8" stereo splits and comes to two 1/4"'ers. Can I just leave one dangling and plug in either of the two and assume that one plugged in carries the mono for both channels?
