For one you must use shielded wire and all of the shields will need to be connected together for example: from the computer to the potentiometer and then to the amp. Same basic configuration that's in computer speakers but just use the shielded wire.

If you need help i can draw you a layout, Email Me!

Also tie the shields to the back of the potentiometer and the nut around the shaft, otherwise you may get hum when someone has there hand on/near the control.
