Ooh ooh. Aweshum! I need that too! But maybe I'll go wireless too! ;D
Incidentally, my volume knob installation is very similiar to yours and I'm very happy with it (and glad I bothered to do it too).

What I did was remove the pot on the speaker amp board and connect 2 loooong wires to where it used to be. I then ran these wires up to a new pot that I bought at Radio Shack which had the same specs as the old pot (5k (I think) and linear taper). I put the pot up out of the way and it makes it so nice to be able to adjust the sound with a turn of a knob.
Here is a pic of the pot above (the white stuff is hot glue to keep the pot from turning):
And here is a pic from the underside:
