A friend of mine wanted me to make him a box with 2 in's and 2 outs
so he can run two separate signals but have one master mute swith to cut
both signals at the same time. Does anyone see anything wrong with wiring it up this way?
Should I take the bottom 2 lugs below the outputs and ground them? I know its a pretty simple idea
I just dont want to miss the obvious.
Thanks

Yes, ground the two lugs below the output lugs so that the output socket tips are connected to GND when it's switched off. It may be less likely to pop uf you used a resistor, say 1k - 10k.  Otherwise the end of the cable is just "flapping in the breeze" and you could pick up RF interference. Otherwise it looks ok.
