Ok, I was attempting to install a volume control for a boat that I work on to control 2 zones, zone A: outer deck, zone B: dining deck
Both zones have 4 speakers attached to them and are essentially daisy chained together and each zone connected to 1 channel of a 2 channel 600w amp.
money is a little tight around the company and the only volume control knobs I have laying around came off of a boat that is running a 70V system, so the control knobs are ATLAS-35 brand/model. and they have 3 leads, a=com b=speaker in c=speaker out.
My question is, if I were to just hook this inline with my speaker system, leaving COM lead d/c and connecting the (+) lead from my amp, to speaker in on the volume control, then the speaker out on the volume control to 1 side of the (+) side of the speaker chain, and the (-) lead from amp directly to the (-) lead on the speaker chain. will this work for me?
What are the risks and any suggestions on a good course of action with nearly no funds to work with?
I'm VERY green when it comes to audio systems like this. any help is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance
