The way you describe it behaving sounds like it is a linear taper pot and not an audio taper pot. Also have you tried a much smaller pot (like 10K)?
: : OK, so I picked up a 10w+10w amplifier kit online and put it together tonight. The kit didn't come with any volume control, so I picked up a 100k stereo audio taper pot at the local Radio $hack. : And can't figure out how to hook the $#@ thing up. : Did some digging online, found some references re connecting the pot: : lug 1 - input : Which works, except that I only get output at the top 90% of the dial (goes from silent -> quiet -> FREAKIN LOUD) : So I have some STOOPID questions: : (1) Is the volume control connected on the INPUT side (line-level) or the OUTPUT side of the amp? : (2) What is the proper way to connect the volume control? : Thanks for your help... : Buzz
: lug 2 - output
: lug 3 - ground
