How can I add a volume control knob to my cabinet? (for my car amplifier)

Basically all I want to do is extend the shaft from the volume control (eg. the radio shack part) because the shaft is very very small... Home Depot and Lowe's didn't seem to carry anything...

I did exactly what you want to do. I got the 1/4" steel shaft at Home Depot. I got the 1/4" shaft collars at a local True Value Hardware. I have some pictures in the Projects-Yamaha Speakers section of my website .

Thanks for that link to Oscar's site. I've been meaning to do this myself, but until I do, I'm controlling the cab volume with my keyboard's volume 'shortcut' buttons.
