mic splitter using resistors

In doing some research for a mic splitter I'm building it became obvious that I should have one isolated out and one pass through instead of just building essentially 16 y-cables in a box. There are a number of reasons and what I want to know is if there is a way to do it without buying 16 trannies. Transformers are the right way to go but the Jensens are cost prohibitive and so are Lundahl.

simple technical question about resistors?

...so: I have a cheapo set of computer speakers that use a subwoofer that is a bit too loud. There is no volume control for the sub, but I imagine I could add a couple of resistors to the line that feeds it to lower the level.

Will this work? If so, what value might you smart people suggest to lower the level, say, 3db? 5db?

thanks!
