Alternatively, there's also something like this:

Very inexpensive, but should do the trick. I'm trying to figure out whether the remote volume is a good idea, or just to assign a key to volume up and down.

I did the same thing and also used the included sub and placed it in the bottom of the cab facing away from the coin door and it sounds great. For a set of used (and dust-collecting) speakers in my case, it was a great solution and I'd second that.

28$ for those Logitec 2.1? Heck, I'd say totally worth taking a chance on anyway.

My dads got the Logitec 5.1 surround system on his PC and I serious was considering it for use with my home stereo for a while (yeah I know sacrilege, but hey they sound pretty good to me)

It's pretty convenient and out of sight mounted on top the cab.
The one on my driving cab is up under the dash.
I used velcro to attach, so I can remove or reposition it.

Depending on the shape of your cab and the remote being black, you may be able to mount it under the marquee between the speakers without it being too noticeable.
(or off to the side if you plan to plug in headphones)

Personally, I don't like my guests to be able to mess with the volume, so I prefer the remote hidden.

I bought some cheap 2.1s from Wal-Mart and could not be happier.  And they had a remote for volume control.  The only downside is that I needed a headphone cable extender because the lines from the mini speakers to the sub were only about 4 feet long.  Not the end of the world.  For under $50, I can not complain.  The sound is more than sufficient.

As for the sub, it is pretty darned small so if you need to pack things in your cab, it would work out nicely.  All 3 speakers are very compact in design.
