Thats a variac you mouth breather.
Hook it up linearly to make it a reostat.
use pins 2 and 4 for the wire input and output.

if you have time, could you make schematic. I would be very grateful

Its not rocket surgery.
Just put it anywhere on the cable. Even if you fuck up it wont brake anything.

Laptop output will be stereo.

>separate knobs for left and right volume

Sounds cumbersome. At least they're indexed I guess..

>>1070979
>>1070986
There isn't any way i can do both sides with only one knob?

>>1070994
You could replace the innards with a stereo potentiometer. While you're at it, use a logarithmic pot or the adjustment range will suck like in your current pot.
That, or you could couple the two pots mechanically with a belt or something.

I did this many years ago for a 'couch side' volume knob

My gf wanted to reuse her self powered Apple HK speakers (that didn't have a remote) with our LCD projector. So I just keep the volume cranked up on the speaker's amp and used a dimmer module to reduce volume from a manual a/v switch for the htpc/xbox/laptop.

I found a neat looking knob from the cabinet section of the hardware store and affixed it to the pot box mounted in the av cabinet by the couch.

That said it looks like you can get a prebuilt setup for like $8 in cable form and about the same in a wall plate form factor.

>google showed up nothing

Search 'rca cable potentiometer' , as they are more results for people doing this for preamps.
