Hello,
I have a 2.1 speaker system with a RCA/analog Stereo input. This is connected to my TV which has a fixed audio output only, so I cannot control the volume using the TV remote. I have a RCA extension from the TV's output to the speaker input and am planning to add a volume control on this extension wire.
Browsing thru the forum I saw a suggestion to use a "100K Dual-Ganged Stereo Volume Control" 100K Dual-Ganged Stereo Volume Control - RadioShack.com However I noticed the input impedance of my speaker is 4ohms (Z623 Technical Specifications - Logitech FAQ). Will this control work with my speaker system? If not, could someone suggest an alternative? Thanks!

You need a special pot for that. radio shack used to carry...........
Active speakers with a 4Ω input impedance??
I think the Radio Shack product that KMossman mentioned is this one, catalog #42-2559. I'm pretty sure most stores still stock it. I've bought a few. Not the greatest item but it gets the job done.
If it were me I think I would just tap the remote-controlled volume with a resistor or transformer.

maybe not very active?
L-pad
if some-one outside the audiophile sphere hears you are looking for an L-pad it will surely raise some eyebrows..................

Just curious, why would that raise eyebrows?
Use shielded cable. Do not connect shield on both the ends.

Ground on the target/sink/receiving side?
