Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

I WAS using L-Pads.......

I switched to fixed resistors for two reasons:

1: I did not like what they did to the sound.
2: To achieve the attenuation I needed, the L-pad needed to be set between 1 and 2 (on a scale of 0-10), making it difficult to match L and R settings.

I determined the amount of attenuation needed by using a sound level meter, measuring the difference between wide open and what I liked. I also took AC voltage measurements at the driver, and converted that to dB's.(the results were amazingly close).
