Help I'm stuck! I am so close to figuring this out. The split coil is got me hung up.

Project: HSS strat

pickups: Fender 59-62 single coils. (vintage design)
SD pearly gate hummer

pots:volume-fender duel 500k/250k pot --- this is the pot: https://www.fender.com/en-US/parts/c...990847000.html
tone 1 - fender duel 500k/250k pot
tone 2 (neck) fender vintage
caps: .022 for hummer
.047 for singles

Actions:
pos1 bridge
pos2 bridge split to single
pos3 middle
pos4 middle and neck
pos5 neck

I want to run the hummer with the 500k pots
I want to run the split with....? (I assume the 500k also but would like to know if that is a good plan)
I want to run the middle single with the 250k vol and 250k tone 1
I want to run the neck single with the 250k vol and 250k tone 2

I am trying to use a 5pos super switch

I think with the dual volume pots you would have to run the volumes (and subsequently the tones tapped of those) before the switch to do it without a super switch.
 
thanks for the typo catch on the caps! I have a double pot for the bridge 500k and middle 250k. With that clarified would I not be able to have tone on all pickups? That was the purpose of the double pots.

With only 1 volume pot I think I had it figured out. I was wanting to use the double volume to "better" match resistance 500/250 to pickup hum/single respectively. Maybe that is a bad idea with the pearly gates hummer?

I was planning on a superswitch if needed.
