RE: Bypassing gain controll Class D Audio SDS Amp

What I was talking about was referenced here:

pots

Yeah, it comes with two pots. They look kind of cheesy but Tom insists they are quite good. I played around with them and settled on a gain of about 27 dB, and put in some Vishay naked 2.2Kohm resistors. Per Tom (please note the wire color coding has changed):

"For those who wish to change the pots for fixed resistors, here are resistor values to produce required gain. Gain is listed in dB: To change gain potentiometer to a fixed resistor, you would connect a fixed resistor between the yellow and black wires on the gain controls (of course, remove the gain pots). Leave the red wire disconnected.

Use high quality 1% resistors: 1/2 watt is sufficient.

560 Ohm = 31 dB

1K = 30 dB

2.2K = 27 dB

5.2K = 23 dB

6.2K = 18 dB

7.5K = 16 dB

I hope this is of some help. Please feel free to post this on the forums if it will help others. On my personal systems here, I use the same pots that come with the kits."

I wasn't sure now that the wire color codes had changed again which ones to jump, and also how to measure the resistance on the pots?
