Unbalanced stereo setup

[FMQ203]

So, I bought this speakers from a random guy on the internet, but they are different one of each other, one seems to have higher impedance, so, when listening to music it sounds at a lower volume.

The problem is that my amp doesn't include a balance slider, and I need one because it will not be hooked up to the same source all the time, which discards sofware balance.

 

Is there any way to solve this other than buying another amp with a balancer

In theory you could ghetto-wire in a variable resistor to one of the cables (the one connected to the louder speaker), then dial it in to taste...

Only if speaker is rated under ~15-20W because everything above needs metal heat sink and is expensive.

Best fix is to buy same speakers. 

 

Even if you level loudness they should still sound different so...

tell me more about that, seems to be the cheapest way to solve this

Even better way is to use pot and put it on way of signal path. So if you don't use hdmi to your amp than you could cut that channel wire and put there potentiometer. 

I would need more info of how you connect pc to amp to be able to help you more precise.

Sry for bad english.

Ok I tried to illustrate what I wanted to say in previous post:

 

RCA can go to 3.5 mm and to pc

pot should be up to 10 kohm.

pot is going on louder channel.

You said cable that go to the speaker. That's not good idea.

You may post whatever meme but putting resistor after and pot before amp is big difference.

Do what aleksa says or if you don't like DIY'ing; get a cable with volume control (potmeter) built in.
