Could this be possible?

[dixiehorn festiva]

heres my plan, someone jacked my system so my wiring harness is flapping in the breeze. I think if i take a pair of headphones, seperate the left wire from the right side wire, then connect those bare ends to the speakers, left side to left side, right to right side. and plug it into my iPod that it mite possibly work. Do you think the iPod signal would be loud enough, is this just some crazy scheme??

[mechanicaldj]

are you kidding?????????????

why not just buy a head unit with a auxiliary input on it and get an adapter for your ipod

or just use a cassette adapter???

they even have FM adapters

It wouldn't work.

The Ipod doesn't have enough output to make the speakers work, and the impedance of the earphone jack and that of the speakers are different.

its there any easy way to amplify the output signal coming from the iPod. See the reason i dont just buy a stock deck and get an FM transmitter is cause the car is goin off the road in 2.5 weeks. So i just need to try and cob somethin together

aside from buying a battery powered amp and speakers that plugs right into the headphone jack (you can get those at target and walmart for under $20), you might be risking frying the ipod trying to rig up some kinda homade amplification if you got the wrong wires crossed. Not to mention that you'd probably spend more than $20 in parts at radio shack just putting an amplification circuit together.

What you could do is buy one of those $20 WalMart inverters and plug a radio or something into that.

Ok here is a pretty cheap crappy way to do it, but it works in a pinch..

D batteries are 1.5vdc iirc. Most boom boxes run on 9vdc (6 D cell batteries) just buy a cigarette lighter adapter that has multiple voltage outputs like 12.00 at radio shack.. tie the wires in where the batteries hook up. Usually the spring side is negative and the tab end is possitive..

Or just put on your headphones and listen to your iPOD if you need music that bad.

It's easy just hook it up to your cell phone and turn it on speaker phone that way you can hear it better.
