If you mono down / Y down the stereo output of anything , not only a IPad you will have even less voltage output , the problem in doing such is sound quality !

When this type of hook up is done a channels who's mix / output level is stronger than the other will tend to override the lower output channel ,so tell your Buddy that the intended stereo mix of what he is playing back through the Kustoms will not quite sound the same as if it where blended in true mono!

If you can still find one of those Radio shack pre molded Y adapters with two Female inputs and one Male output you can snap it open, break the hot connection and wire in series a 220k 1/4 watt resistor and this will to a large extent give a good sounding mono mix of the left and right outputs of the iPad or whatever!

In regards to your Buddy's blasting his tunes around the neighborhood he needs to keep within the cut off time of 10 pm that most community's have in place, lol!
