What is?

As i said. Like a child.
Probably think Ken Block is still alive since there is no snow at your house.

Why are you going back after you post and adding to it? Is your brain not up yet... can't get the thoughts out at the same time?

Says the guy still talking shit. Bored this morning are ya?

Migraine.

Get your brain in order dummy. They achieve the same goal in different ways.

I wasn't looking for the goal, i was looking for the journey.
You had no idea, so you offered two disparate solutions, hoping one would be right.

Well then, I guess you are right. I had no idea you wanted to make it complicated. I assumed it was as simple as increasing and decreasing the signal (which is what you wanted) in steps or via a smooth slope. I sure did offer two types of pot ideas... both did the same thing (vary the signal) in different ways. I indeed thought one might help you. What the fuck was I thinking offering information that you asked for that I thought might help you.

I guess we can just chalk it up to what you always complain others do: fail to comprehend.
I was pretty specific in what I wanted: "suggestions for one that instead of covering 0-100% with 3/4 dial turn, maybe only attenuate down to 50% instead of zero?" and the why: "the couple of units I have tried make big changes for not much movement of the knob. Thus, it's not easy to hit the sweet spot between too loud and too soft.'

But it's fine. You covered the bases by offering both possibilities. Hard to be wrong that way.
It was better than telling me that poorly mixed music should just be listened to that way.

Comprehension? No, I don't think that was it. What I comprehend is that you think the devices you have tried make adjustments too fast and too much to be accurate enough for what I am sure is you thinking is your well above average hearing and ability to distinguish nuances that no other human can detect in music. What you should be looking for is a device with a 1:1 rotational ratio with a LARGE sweep diameter which will slow down the adjustment mechanically by default.

I never stated nor do I believe my hearing is above average. But I'm not deaf. I can easily tell when the bass has jumped 6-8dB with a 1 degree movement of the pot, hence my idea to make a small movement provide LESS attenuation.
The idea of a mechanical reduction by increasing knob size could work in a non-auto environment, but this is in an auto, mounted in an easy-to-access spot so I barely take my hand off the wheel to adjust.

It's on hold for now though, as I may be getting a different vehicle this spring.

They did the autopsy and already publicly released the results on Dori Monson in 2 days?
That's damn impressive.
Can you link to the autopsy results or the announcement?

I know you didn't state it. I was stickin it to ya.

As for the knob, I wasn't speaking about the knob, I was speaking to the sweep of the device. Look at the example below:

The green is the sweep of the device. The shape in the middle is the knob (same size for both pots). Just the pot itself is larger allowing for a longer, more precise sweep. I think it could still be hidden.

It's your project though. Sliders on mixing consoles work too... just sayin. Or an old Kenwood, Alpine, or Pioneer 1/2 DIN eq.

Yes. That description works the same way as what I meant by a larger knob on the pot. A degree is a degree, but a movement of 1mm can become 3mm by tripling the diameter of the knob, making it easier to cause smaller changes.
I haven't looked up pots with larger wiper radii or contact circumference as a mechanical solution.

Understood.
