will regual run of the mill resistors work for this? like the radioshack bulk bag ones?
I think you could do it. Get the one with the highest power rating you can (10 W? 20 W?). They may be squarish and white, much larger than the little ones you see on circuit boards. I'd probably start with a 2 ohm or a 4 ohm. The L-pads are probably a better way to go, really, and will give you variable control.

The little teeny-tiny resistors in the bulk pack will likely not have enough power handling, and they will just burn up when you turn up the volume.
