The L-pad was not intended to be used to control the higher currents of woofers. Because L-pads convert the energy not sent to the speakers into heat, they have largely been replaced by other types of controls, such as transformer-based volume controls. diagrams and calculators can be found here: http://www.carstereo.com/help2/Articles.cfm?id=18 |
