Hi Guys
"Stacked" Rk or resistors in general implies a series connection. 150R + 150R = 300R as you did in your amp.
Your drawing is correct.
Personally I only use radial-lead electrolytics as the welded lead to the can on an axial often breaks.
The small resistors in my kits are mostly 600mW 1% metal-film. I never use carbon. The tiniest resistors in the kits (usually 34k8, 125mW) are only used in places where there is not much voltage or heat, such as grid-stops and in switching circuits.
Larger resistors (1W+) are metal-oxide flame-proof or wire-wound flame-proof.
