I boxed up an L-pad

and installed it a while ago, but it doesn't really seem to have
sufficient adjustment.

Actually, that isn't quite correct, see below, I had forgotten
what I actually did.

I find that odd, as if it's wired correctly, an L-pad should give an
adjustment range from 0- 100% of full power.

Well, AFAUK I have done it right, but I suppose that is a bit of
a circular argument. ;-)

Indeed. Obviously, you'd not deliberately or knowingly do it
incorrectly. :-)

Looking again at what I have done, if you remember my original
problem:

[My amplifier has two outputs. One is switched, and used for the
speakers in the living room. The other is taken via a separate
switch box to speakers in the dining room and kitchen. The
kitchen is too quiet.]

I used the L-pad to reduce the volume in the dining room, which
closer examination shows is actually working. However, to get the
kitchen loud enough, the living room would be too loud, and I
don't really want to mess with that output, since that is the
best set of speakers.
