I did this on the two jukeboxes I built, works pretty good.

Which wire would you connect to the pot ? or all wires ? Im using a 3.5mm to phono lead so I'm presuming the left and right channel cables have 2 wires each!

DaOld Man:

What I did was buy a PC audio extension cord from radio shack and hacked it into a pot.
This way if the amp ever goes bad, or I decide to upgrade it's a very simple matter, just unplug, then plug new back in.
I didnt get into great detail in my jukebox thread, but it might give you an idea. If you need more help, Id be glad to help out.
Here is my jukebox thread, the part about the pot is on the very last page.

Nacimroc:

Thats perfect! thanks!

Nice juke project btw!

DaOld Man:

Thank you!
It was one of the several Mountain jukebox copies on this site. Some (most) did a better job than I, but who I built it for likes it. And after 1 year, it is still working great.

Check out a couple of web pages I wrote a while ago explaining how to put a volume pot into your cab. Includes pics & hints on how to mount the pot!

Volume pot wiring & mounting

You can also add a headphone jack pretty easily, which is a great addition to every cab

Cheers, Zeb
