My in laws gifted my kid this pretty cool RC car but it makes this awful music that’s REALLY loud. Can I wire a resistor in series on one of the speaker legs to turn the volume down, say 50%?

      Remember that voltage divides between series elements (Kirchoff’s Voltage Law) while current divides between parallel ones (Kirchoff’s Current Law). A voltage divider is literally as simple as two resistors in series, each having a voltage across it proportional to its own resistance divided by the total resistance.
