Thanks for the link.

My son also found my old collection of CD's....they are primarily all rap from my younger days. Not really my preference now-a-days, but I'll probably spend a few nostalgic days cycling through them in the car.

I will admit though, I was pretty excited to pop Sir Mix A Lot "Posse on Broadway" in the car today

Sure wish I had a system in there though

I have Buttermilk biscuits and Square dance rap in my collection. I love teh oldskool rap.

WTF??? Lost me with those two.

Obviously you are younger than we are.

Yep. By a small bit. Just turned 27 in March.

I searched rca volume control and rca attenuator. Sometimes the simple stuff is overlooked.

I know PAC makes a few like the one I posted, a bit more, but if the cheapies work...

You always go overboard and make shit so much harder than it has to be.

No way to do this easily....unless you spend a SHIT ton of cash.

One option CAN make this easier, it's mono

Wasn't the point of the minidsp to make it cheap?

Cheap with future flexibility. And yes, it's pissing me off. A $10 pot would be fine, but $50. FUCK.

so theses wont work? http://www.minidsp.c...ol-pot?sef=hcfp

i probably missed something, haha

My plan was to use one of those as a master. It'd be the volume control, but I still need "faders" for the channels.

One miniDSP will do the processing for some pro audio mids and horns.

The second miniDSP will do the processing for the in boat speakers and sub.

If I used the miniDSP pots then I couldn't have the sub on loud with only the towers which will be my normal listening environment. Loud for either the rider behind the boat or the people swimming in the water. Not as loud for those sitting in the boat as they will be in close proximity. Then while cruising, towers off and the boat speakers & sub on. Vastly different sub levels.

So I could use just the two miniDSP pots and get a normal volume pot for the in boats. The only problem with that solution is if I want an overall volume I'll need another pot on the input to the miniDSP and running ADC with low level input will increase the noise and then when I use DSP on the noisy signal everything is degraded.

Can't believe there are no VCA kits available anymore. Fuck me.

How about this between the channel signals for fading, http://www.amazon.co...35911245&sr=8-2

WTF did you search for??? I've been looking for fucking days and had just finally settled on the idea of blowing fucking $70 on pots.

remote level controller... dam, stefan beat me to it.

Anyone have rec'd on project boxes? Something around 6"x4" probably.

Don't search as I am not sure on the size yet...

Haven't used either, but these look promising:

Might also try searching on instructables, MAKE, (diy sites) to see where others are ordering.

Lately both UPS & FedEx have been dropping off packages, but not ringing the door bell. I sit here waiting for it to ring, then later casually refresh the tracking page, and wahlah! "Delivered."

Got my shit all setup, seems pretty sturdy, and can't complain for $99.00

Local shops wanted 2.00 for a foot of 8 ga.. wtf -.-

Just ordered 250 roll for ~110 dollars.

They also wanted 7$ for 1/0 too.. Jesus

Need some 4 ga? I have a 100' roll I'll sell for $1/ft. Must buy whole roll.

How about 5.5' for 4.50 man? I'm on a budget bro.

I have some good Phoenix Gold cable, not that chinese shit.

Amusingly I wanted ABS but when you add it to the search it fucks it up. Thanks.

Fuck. Just realized I jumped the gun. I need a quad pot, not a stereo pot. No wonder I didn't find those.

Something for pro audio balanced signals would work as by default that's a quad pot. Glad I didn't hit order yet.

Not sure where my brain is tonight....perhaps the crying scared of thunder 3 year old has me distracted.

I figured you would use two, but then again I'm not entirely sure how everything is being setup.

Having Left and Right on two different knobs or tweeters and mids on two different isn't so appealing.

[///M5 2,833]

I could run mono perhaps though, but then all the searching was for not. Also not sure that the miniDSP will mono sum if you are HP'ing. Hard to tell from their literature.

I see. Yeah that's no good.

What about using some cheap EQ, like: http://www.sonicelec...oss-EQ1208.html

Accepts front channels and rear channels, has master volume.

Assuming the EQ shit can be defeated.

<--Throwing shit at the wall, and seeing what sticks.

[///M5 2,833]

If I could find one that did all the above I would. Looked at them all. Frightening to see any extra potentially non-defeatable processing.

To put it in perspective, I need 3 pots. One is $40 + $13 shipping, the other two are $3 each. Add a small project box, up the $3 ones to $10 ones, and I've got a volume control that is better than any other one I've ever owned.

[dem beats 1,223]

Yeah, I think it was the same as Pengs. 4/28.

It's ok. 95% of it was great but 5% fly in my ointment ruins it all.
