Right now I have a dual 2.1 setup with a pair of Dayton BR-1's in the Main terminals of my reciever and a pair of Panasonic satellites in the Remote terminals. I have an RCA 12" 200 watt subwoofer connected to the Pre Out.
I can press Main and get the Daytons and the sub or push Remote and get the Panasonics and the sub. The only problem is that the speakers have different sensitivity and sometimes I don't want the sub on at all.
My main goal is to have an easy on/off for the sub (the reciever can't do this). But as long as I'm doing that I figured it would be nice to be able to control the sub's volume (it's volume control is on the back of the enclosure and impossible to reach). My reciever does have bass/mid/treble controls but I'm pretty sure the bass control will also affect the Dayton's, so I want seperate sub control.
So here's my idea:
Cheap Enclosure
RCA Jacks
Toggle Switch
Potentiometer
Knob
I also have the ALPS RK097, 10KΩ pot from Tangent (which has a built in switch). Would this be suitable for this application?
I am mostly looking for some guidance on what switch/pot will work for this application.
Thanks for any help.
