You need one of these.... https://www.amazon.com/Niles-Audio-...p;ie=UTF8&qid=1315348217&sr=1-17 Wire your amp to the imput and home run to each volume control. You might need some new volume controls but I bet the wiring is commoned up somewhere with wire nuts or something and that is causing most of your problem. I know from experience. www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.

Isn't that intended for low-impedance speakers? The OP is using 70V.

I also think I figured out how the system went out. It was the CD player that was the beginning of the issue. It started putting out low volume tinny sound about 4 months ago, client didn't call me they just kept uping the master volume and finally left it on 10 (11 if you like spinal tap) for months. I think it slow cooked all components which is why I couldn't get any combination of tests to work. Even though we replaced the wiring, we didn't need to redo the wiring but speakers, amps and music source had to be changed. At least that's what I am guessing on it. Thank you again because your posts were all correct. My mistake was trying to figure it out for longer than I should have. Systems>Process>Service>Success
