Dan ,
Most Audio Products have an external Speaker connector ,when the external
Audio Cable is plugged in ,it disables the main Audio Speaker and then the
external Speaker works.
When you unplug the external audio cable, the main Speaker works again.this
is they way it works.
What do you mean it seems unnecessary ,he said he could not hear the Tom Tom
Speaker and he found a solution.
I have heard, the Tom TOM he has and it works great.

Sorry Paul
As I quoted, "equipment these days use a balanced amplifier to drive the speaker..."
The balanced amp in a TomTom seems like unnecessary overkill.
The statement "wired in series with the speaker" has a specific electrical meaning. I didn't think about just plugging into the external speaker jack.
My mistake
