This is strictly dependent of the type of control being used. If you just have a potentiometer (variable rotary resistor) then connect ONE wire from the source to the middle (wiper) terminal on the Pot. then from either other terminal on the Pot. continue the circuit to the speaker.
This just limits the amount of signal going to one speaker. THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE WHEN ONE SPEAKER IS USED. If you could direct me to the instructions that came with your controller, I could help you out.

If you purchased this from a Radio Shack, or similar electronics supplier, tell me the part, model number and I look it up for you.
ABOVE ANSWER IS TOO SIMPLISTIC....
Speaker volume control, done properly, is not a matter of just adding resistance (or variable resistance) to the line. Properly done, the amplifier's output impedence must be matched to maintain proper loading and avoid premature burnout and distortion.
Dynamic speaker connections (2, 4, 8 ohm, for example) can have a volume control added by using a potentionmeter (variable resistor) with decent results and without doing damage or getting too much distortion. For most applications this is okay.
What you need for a simple resistance control:
A 2-gang potentiometer of about 15 to 25 ohms rating. Here's more than you'll ever need to know: http://beavishifi.com/articles/Volume_Control/index.htm
THE RIGHT WAY:
The right way to do this is to use an 'impedence matching' control. These controls allow you to put on strings of speakers yet maintain a constant impedence to the amplifier output (up to the power limit of the amp, of course).
Here, now, is what you need: http://www.audioc.com/accessories1/misc/vcontrol.htm
ANOTHER WAY:
There is another way to do all this.. that is if you have pro-grade amps. You can use what is called 70volt lines. 70volt amp outputs allow you to string many speakers down the line (each with its own step down transformer, not hard to wire or figure out). If this is of interest then you may want to Google it and go from there.
HOPE THIS HELPS.. Caio!

What device turns up the volume?
You can use the speaker, if you have one, or the On-screen volume control.
Can you splice an AV cable to speaker wire to plug in speakers?
Maybe. If you need to drive passive speakers, you will need an amplifier. If you have powered speakers, you might not be able to control the volume of the signal.
Your speaker system right speaker doesnt work?
Turn the power off, disconnect the speaker wire from both front speakers, connect the right speaker wire to the left speaker, at this time the original left speaker wire should be laying in the floor not connected to anything, be sure not let the paired speaker wires TOUCH each other. Turn the power back on and turn up the volume to normal level. If you hear sound from the Left speaker, one would tend to think the Right speaker might be bad. If you Don't hear any sound, the amplifier or speaker wire might be bad or a poor connection. IF there is a Balance control, be sure it is in the middle and not turned all the way to the left, which would cause the front right speaker not to have any sound.
How can you control volume on aspiron T7384 speaker when in bluetooh mode through your iPhone?
Adjust the volume on the source device (iPhone)
How do you tell a positive speaker wire from a negative speaker wire?
The positive speaker wire is a solid color, your negative wire should have a stripe on it.
