A mouthful, but I think the pics will explain.

I use the splitter to feed my AMP6 for my satellites and my DIY sub so that one pot can control the volume for both. Without the buffer, the frequency response will go wacky if using one pot - or so I am told.

Unfortunately, I didn't think of including a feature where the other outputs are disabled if the headphone is plugged in... guess I have to listen to both my cans and the speakers at the same time for now. What's the easiest way to implement this?

EDIT: All that black wiring is my ghetto implementation of a star grounding scheme, with the big splice (hidden under the white heat-shrink) being the star.

EDIT2: My AMP6 has a mute switch, so at least I can turn off everything but the bass fairly easily. I wonder if that would work - full-range to headphones plus <80Hz from a sub.

EDIT3: With the CMoy's gain at 11, I can barely hear the sub with the volume set at a level suitable for headphones, let alone hear it with the headphones actually on. Problem null and void.

EDIT4: I put in the toggle switch anyway.

Just the headphone section.

Input -> Pot -> Buffer -> toggle switch/headphone out (same signal)

toggle switch -> spk out/sub out

headphone out -> crossfeed -> CMoy -> 1/8" and 1/4" jacks, paralleled (only one to be used at any given time)

sub out -> sub amp -> driver

spk out -> AMP6 -> sats
