[smythe]

hi ive a jamma loom in a cab
i have one volume button this has 3 contacts how do i hook my speakers up to this?

Volume button doesn't wire directly to the speakers.  It wires to whatever is producing the audio.

Volume pot would have three contacts - max, min, and ground.

Speakers each have two.  In and out.

Top item on the page 5 for $15. These are inline volume pots that are made for pachinko/ pachislo machines, but I don't see why they wouldn't also work in an arcade cab. The only problem is that you have one pot for each speaker, so you have to set your left & right volumes independantly.

Might not work...different resistance lavels...

[ChadTower]

It would work... it's just a resistor.  It would probably not work the way he wants it to, though.

Looks like it is wired wrong so don't buy it.  You don't want a resistor.

Search for the link to oscarcontrols site on basically how to do it.  Do another search from Peale as he asked this question about a year or two ago.

If the volume control looks anything like the second picture on the above linked page
http://www.pachislo.com/pachislo/parts_detail/volume.html
Mind you it doesn't look like it is wires right in the pic

Then you have in out and ground

So if u have two speakers join the two + wires of the input together and the two + wires of the output together and all the -ve wires together

Now you have three wires  in out and ground

But without a pic i am guessing

So would it be something like this:  from the harness, speaker+ as input, and from the volume control to the speaker, the speaker+ wire?
