when you build an at circuit for ANY system... never hook up the negative to anything. It's not needed..

The 1k goes right to the ground.

Ok I don't know a damn thing about reading schematics...so that's just a 10k resistor then?

So I would need one per channel if doing stereo?

ok yeah..... I can't read schematics for shit either...

yeah one per chanel......

The inside of the RCA jack is the audio (low level+) and the outside is the ground.......

You run the 10 k between the jamma and the rca jack. THen you also run a 1k to the ground from the RCA jack side of the 10k.

that last part confused me....I connect the 1k from the ground to the RCA jack?

OK,

I drew on and took a pic just for you....

This is the stereo AT circuit I use in my oversized SG.
The 10k Resistors are on the outside and the 1 K are the big ceramic ones on the inside.

The Blue lines go to the audio+ Jamma connector (one to each channel for stereo).

The Red lines go to the inside of your RCA JACK.

The Green Goes to your Common ground.

Please note that the 10k and 1k resistors are connected where the Black Line is. (I connected them under the board.

If you have the room, I just suggest using a PC Board LIke I did to lay everything out.

Ahhh ok I got it....and even though they connect to a ground already I still use a normal, untouched ground to the rca jacks.
