volume issue

I have a playstation 2 hooked up in my car. The audio goes directly to my 2 amps. 1 for the door speakers, 1 for subs. The video signal is split between my 2 monitors.

The problem is that I have no way to control the volume of the audio going from the playstation to the amp. I need some sort of, in-line RCA volume control but I dont know if that sort of thing exists.

I thought about running the playstation to the headunit and controlling it with that volume control but my headunit doesn't have any aux inputs.

Any ideas? also I need ideas on relocated my PS2 to the front of my car because I have to hit the reset button everytime I send power to it/turn on my car and its all the way in the back behind the back seats so its kind of irritating.

thanks

ps2

some amps have special volume controls that you can buy that hook into the amp. and about the ps2 i was about to do the same thing but decided to sell mine. there really isnt a good place to put it seats are to low the only thing i could think of is in the glove box but i dont you would have to do some custom work for that to work. if it even fit.

Yeah the volume is too high but I think I found a solution, I CAN run it through my head unit if I buy this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-A8Gu2dm...00&I=130CDRB10 I'll just have to take the single channel audio from the PS2 and split it
