| Inline Volume Control - What Resistance? |

| Smeghead:
Yeah I took apart from speakers and mounted the control board to my cab |
| WhereEaglesDare:
Did you use the orginal speakers as well or did you put in some better speakers? |
| Zebidee:
I've done this about a dozen time or more. You don't need an L-pad. You don't want to take the volume pot off your amplifier. Just put a new 10k - 50k pot on the line-out from the PC (ie before the amplifier). This approach will minimise your hassles. Wire it and mount it like this: http://scarvell.net/wiki/index.php?title=VOLUME_CONTROL_MOUNTING_AND_WIRING Enjoy! |

I use to repair home stereo and what you are saying will work and I believe you, but there is a big chance you could blow the output amplifier on your machine... This is why they make them, goto Lowes and buy a home audio volume control that has impedance matching. |
| Zebidee:
I agree that the L-pad would be good where you are putting a pot between the amp & speakers, but I still say that it is overkill for a volume pot on the PC audio line-out (before the amp). Which is why I advise that people do it this (latter) way - because it is easier & simpler. If you are using PC speakers, they will be designed for this range of variation in their signal input anyway. |
