Joe, a lot depends on the circuit that it's in, but for experimental 
purposes with your result sofar, try a 5kOhm linear taper and if that 
still doesn't do enough, try a 2kOhm. You may need to use a wirewound 
pot rather that plastic depending on how much current you are dissipating.
Cheers, Roger
