Audio Question

My friend got tierd of her Radio being stolen out of her car(twice now) and wanted to just have a jack for plugging in an MP3 player. (standard headphone jack). What parts would be needed to hook this up to the stock speakers. I am assuming some sort of amplifier will be needed, volume controll will be done by the device. Any imput would be appreciated.
Thanks

You'd need an amp for the speakers and a simple 1/4" stereo to rca cable (you can get them at best buy for like $3).

Any sugjestions on what size amp (watt,ohm ect)?

stock speakers?

something around 20-30x2 @ 4ohm should be more than enough, if you can find one that small

depends on vehicle. It may already have a stock amp. and no, sr20de4evr, You are way mor knowledgable on this than I am, but you will want something about 30 watts rms per channel, and you'll want 4 channels, not 2. Maybe that was just a typo on your part.

hah, sorry, I'm so used to front stage-only setups that I put 30x2. Yeah, if she wants to use all 4 speakers then she'll want a 20-30x4 @ 4ohm amp.

Its a 95? civic 4dr. so hopefuly i can find an amp that small and figure out what wire goes where, cause it was ripped to shreds out of the dash this last time. (they took the AC controlls too)

just go down to walmart and get a sony 444, set the gains concervatively. its cheap and 4 chanel... maybe $100 at the most.

wow i never though id reccomend something audio form walmart...

ha, yeah, but its a sony. It should be pretty striaghtforward to wire in, although, its easier for a theif to steal an amp that isnt bolted down tight, versus a cd deck thats bolted in. Maybe buy another deck, and invest in a security system. You can get decks that have inputs for certain mp3 players, I know I can buy an adapter for my pioneer deh-p6500 so I can plug an ipod directly to it, and controll the ipod from the deck. If I had an ipod it may be worth it. Just a thought.

The last deck that was stolen looked stock, and was shitty. This thing gets parked in Hartford so a security system wont do it much good, and everything that gets wired in will be hidden from sight entirly, she just wants like just a jack vissable and it to be cheap.
Thanks for the Imput so far

They stole the shitty deck, and left the 2 digital cameras in the center console, the $20 bill in the cupholder, and the 80or so CDs.... so she doesnt want to put a new deck in at all.
