Is This even possible


Hello very smart audio ppl.. I am in the middle of something I decided to build and as usual getting much more in-depth than needed. I have a Hollow tree trunk, I took a Valedyne DLS R3500 out of its enclosure and in the bottom of the trunk put the sub in and have cut a space for the amp also ..Inside the trunk I have fiberglass the interior ( i felt that the wood was to soft to keep and get a good sound ) then ported it etc..Ok ,Onto speakers ..This tree  is going to be a damn jammin tree that should when completed be loud,clear and cool and not see any speakers etc..So on the amp i have input and out put I have the input handled,,there is a set wires dedicated to the sub and i have a left and right chanel out put . Here is where im maybe overthinking?. I can right now install one Knight KN612HC which sound damn good and that ONE speaker can handle a entire left or right chanell and the way i have it ( straight luck) if i can figure out a way to wire that ONE speaker from the output of the amp for both left and right chanell...Please google that speaker to ..because if so no one will see any speaker and ill have a sub and speakers and a amp in this tree trunk ..

I'm not sure what you're asking. You can't use one speaker for both left and right channel if that's what you mean.
Why can't he just connect the left and right channels from the amp to the speaker terminal - in other words have both left channel and right channel positive and negative speaker wires going into the same speaker terminal?
That one Knight speaker can be connected like the post above. It will function as a mono speaker.
Never allow the positives of an amp to come together.  Doing so can cause damaging currents to flow from one side to the other.

You want to create a mono signal before the amp has it, then pick a channel to use.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say you are too caught up in details. In other words - yes, I am gonna say it- you can't see the forest for the tree.
There are very few records that have the bass on one channel. More of an early 60s thing but the engineers learned it was better to put the lows on both channels and split the output. 
Add water, miracles happen.. :-)

The places people put speakers.. Why not.

There are a few speakers in solid poles but the face of the pole not the top or bottom.

Regards
you would not be able to wire both channels to one speaker because it would cause a short but i would use two knight drivers one above the other that would work as your ultimate mono speaker.
How much moisture is in the tree trunk? Any is too much.

so you ruined a computer optimized Velodyne sub enclosure and put the guts into a tree trunk which you have optimized.....HOW???
If it were a dual voice coil you could, sort of. But that speaker isn’t and something will go poof for sure. As mentioned, you need two.
You guys are overthinking this. It's an outdoor party system. It doesn't have to be "optimized" or anything remotely close. It just has to play loud and clean and thump. No one is going to care after about 8 beers.

Not quite what you want but something to consider.Brian Eno connected one speaker cable to the negative output at the amp of the right speaker and one speaker cable at the amp to the positive output on the left speaker,this grabbed an alternative stereo signal to accentuate the existing signal coming from the left and right speakers.An early form of surround sound.
