Hey I spent yesterday trying to patch a cable from a minijack to the volume control of the cassette deck in my car, and had a bit of trouble finding the right wire to unsolder and connect, etc, because the volume knob was mounted on a pcb, which made things hard. Anyway, i've now tried to do it by using a common tandy type dual-thing potentiometer, using a common ground, as an input switcher between radio and md, which then goes to RCA's to an outboard amp, and i've had no end of problems with it.. dodgy connections, left channel missing, all sorts of stuff. the idea of using a pot. as a switch was so that when changing sources i didnt spike anything as i might with a common switch. The original idea was to use a dj-style crossfader as the switch, but i couldnt find where to buy one, and some guy at tandy suggested just using a dual-(sweep?) pot instead. Unfortunately, the damn thing's so small and flimsy, i figure that that if i ever get it working, its not gonna last long. anyone got alternate ideas? also, electrically.. is there anything wrong with using a common ground for the two inputs and one output, am i likely to fry anything? thanks ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
