Stereo Question....
Guys, how do I go about just running an MP3 player or a Walkman instead of a stereo?
Someone said i'd need to have an amp and just plug the MP3 player into that.... but wouldn't it cane the batteries dead quick? Would I need some sort of power converter to do this??
I'm crap with electrics
Thanks for your help

i wouldn't run the MP3 player straight into an amp, its best to connect it through your head unit.
You can but auxiliary input cables for most types of head units, or if you have an iPod you can buy fully controllable interfaces for most stereos!

It can be done, but you'll more than likely get problems with distortion and volume control, you could make your own in-line volume control its simple enough.
