You hooked up the pots backwards. With the shaft pointing at you and the three lugs pointing up, they are, left to right, In, Out, Ground.

This should give you the range you are looking for. You could use a 10K resistor and a 10K pot if you have way too much signal. You could even go down to a 1K pot if you are still hot.

I would go => input RCA => resistor => shunt pot =>Output RCA
This would make sure you never present dead short to the source.
