How do you all control your volume in your cabs?
BadMouth:
My CP slides to the right so P1 can be centered when playing vertical monitor games.
When shifted right, an audio control panel (and cupholder!) is revealed.
So to adjust the sound when 2 people are playing, I have to slide the CP to the side, adjust the volume, then slide it back.
It's not that hard, but it's kind of annoying because I like to fiddle with the volume so much.
If I had it to do over again, I'd have a knob on top the cab that can't be seen from the players perspective.

Generally, I won't bother with external volume controls. You dealt with whatever volume you encountered in the wild.
That being said, I went Malenko's route for Turtle Box and it was freaking annoying because I had to crank the volume way up to get some decent thumping out of my TV's line out. Internal TV speakers actually sounded okay but if I've got this much time and money wrapped up in it, I want my balls to shake on demand when I play it. Plus I can't yell in anger while I'm pissing on a tree in my backyard if I can't hear the Cowboys outside the garage.
So, I finally broke down and got some cheap little amp. Kludged it to a switching power supply from the junk box, and I'm good to go. There's just something so intuitive and natural about a physical knob that I can't imagine using button combinations to do it.
