Help needed: Hooking a volume control up to a 100 Watt amp and 100 Watt Speaker. Ectomobile.

[Egon Spengler]

I have my own version of an Ectomobile and I bought a Feniex StormPro 100 Watt amp and a Feniex 100 Watt speaker for it. It's insanely loud at full volume. I was wondering if theres a way to connect a volume control between the two for those times when I don't want it to be insanely loud??
If anyone can please point me to a volume control that might work, I'd really appreciate it.

Hey,

You can simply put this L pad attenuator between you're amp and speaker. Just make sure its the 100w 8 ohm variant
Here is a picture of the part and a schematic how to connect it to the amp and speaker.

Oh and they are not that expensive! If you are able to buy 2 of them you can wire them together and make a 200w 16 ohm attenuator. Because if you only use 1 it can become hot! But you need to test it

Before you buy! What is you're speaker minimum impedance? If it is higher then 8 ohms you need to buy 2 for sure and wire them together to achieve 16 ohms impedance!

Impedance: 11 Ohms
