How much current are you looking for? You could do it with a simple voltage divider (two resistors) but your current output would be really low. You best bet would be to use a voltage regulator. You can find adjustable regulators that require setting the voltage using a resistor and a capacitor, and they usually have 1A of output power.

4 tripple a's dont have that much current so the resistors to cut the voltage down would probably be the better idea cost wise. what is it your trying to power? a 50 ohm resistor will cut voltage by 1 volt.

JUST ONE MORE AMP!!!

sub amp,power 1000 the terminator.(1992).

subs,spl comp dual 1 ohms.
