Is there a way to bypass a component in series in a circuit if that component fails?

Imagine a couple of speakers connected in series. Could there be a way to build such circuit with the ability to close the circuit if one component isn't working anymore? Like a different path that ignores the malfunctioning component, maybe using a…

Connecting 4 dev boards (5V) in series to 20V power supply

What will happen if I connect 4 identical Orange Pi One boards (which require 5V @ 2A) in series to a 20V @ 2A power supply? The reason I want to do this instead of using four 5V power supplies or one 5V @ 8A in parallel, is because the 20V one is…
