Default Speaker Volume Control

Does anyone have any ideas re: where/how to acquire a separate speaker volume control? I recently installed headrest speakers (have put on nearly 65K miles of mostly top-down -- now I want to hear the tunes better). The speakers work great, but my car candy babe prefers a lower volume on her side. I want to install a separate volume control for her side but am having difficulty locating the correctly sized potentiometer. I would like a relatively small size that I can install either into the door arm rest or the center console. I would like a single control with dual ganged pots. Any one have any suggestions where to buy?

Why don't you just adjust the balance to be more on the driver's side.

as in different volume for the two headrest speakers and the regular volume for the door set.

Thanks, all. Yes, AudoSid you understand the dilemma. I need a separate control just for the passenger side headrest speakers -- but they need to be controlled in tandem.

How about not installing headrest speakers on her side?

Yes - each headrest speaker is a set of 2 with full balance control. The fader control fades between the door and headrest speakers. My passenger (wife) likes the speakers, just not quite as loud as I do. Maybe I should have her wear ear plugs.

im sure you can make one out of something..
i would go talk to my local audio shop (not best buy)
like over here we have a place called Jack's Audio & Video..
they do some pretty good work.

they may be able to get something together
im sure its possible..ive thought about this too at one point..just cuz i would like to have a choice.
i wonder if there is a HU out that gives you options for all four channels.
