Hey guys, I know t amps are a bit 'yesterday' but I got a quick question...
Is there a simple way of using 2 T amps, to drive 2 channels comprised of 2 fullrange drivers per channel.
E.g. I'm planning on some speakers that use 2xfull range drivers in each side. These are each 4 ohms. As such, I was thinking of connecting 1 output from the amp to 1 driver each. Therefore 2 amps = 4 drivers.
Thats easy enough, but how can I control the volume from just one knob? Maybe modify in a 4 gang pot? Or can a 2 gang pot somehow be used?
(obviously a preamp would do this task, but i'm trying to avoid this)

you can buy 4 and 5 and even higher gang pots... expensive and scarse... see some one e-bay occasionaly.
Could you stick a buffer after a dual pot and then have a parallel outputs after said buffer?
PHP:
[ left in ] --- [ volume pot left ] --- [ buffer left ] --- [ out left 1 ]
|---[ out left 2 ]Simplest method, Bypass the pots in the T-amps. Connect the inputs of left and right for each amp together on the SOURCE side of the capacitors, not the amp side. Use one conventional volume pot. Each channel to each T-amp.
Rube Goldberg method: Pull apart an old scanner or a printer. Use the toothed belt and a couple of toothed wheels to couple the original pots together. Move amps apart until belt is tight. Put handle on middle of belt, move handle.
