Speaker volume control wiring diagram. Wiring these volume controls is fairly simple. A home stereo for example may often list 6 16 ohms as being ok for use. 4 channel plus sub. Using a volume control gives you total control of multiple speakers at one time. The potentiometer must be a log taper. 2 amps 1 sub.
To build this speaker circuit we connect the 1kω audio taper potentiometer to the speakers. Remember to allow a volume control for the lounge room speakers so they can be controlled also. Using a volume control is very common in both residential and commercial audio installations. Then run a speaker cable from the volume control to each speaker. Run a speaker cable probably two one for left side and one right side from the amplifier to the volume control. The red wire is the positive terminal and the black wire is the negative or ground terminal.
Also attempting to wire two 8 ohm speakers in parallel to an 8 ohm stereo would have the same effect. This system allows you to adjust the volume right in the room you are in plus an integrated ir receiver will let you control your source devices if needed. Building the speaker circuit with adjustable volume. Adding sub to factory. This is a whole house distributed audio wiring diagram showing amplification that is run through passive volume controls before continuing on to the speakers.
