Assuming 4 ohm speakers, 1 ohm in sries will drop you about 1 dB, 2 ohms is about 1.7 dB, and 4 ohms is 3 dB. Remember that 1 dB is defined as the smallest change the human ear can detect. The metal case power resistors made by Dale are great for this 'cuz they can be screwed to a heatsink. If you opt for free-air dissipation (no heatsink) then go for a resistor that's 2X the power rating you need.An L pad is a fancy potentiometer that maintains a constant impedance to the source. They use 'em in PA systems, but it's overkill for your needs. It would be simpler than trial &amp; error with different resistors tho. The PartsExpress link shows them for reasonable prices.</blockquote>
