my stock radio/tape player doesn't work very well (the tape player doesn't work, even after numerous cleanings, and the antenna is gone so the radio reception is poor). i don't listen to tapes or radio anyway, so my new plan is to remove it entirely, and plug my mp3 player directly into the speakers. the idea is to wire in a potentiometer between the speaker plugs and an 1/8" audio jack. that way i can plug in whaterver potable device i want. this seems like a good idea to me. can anyone think of why it's not, or have any suggestions to make it better or more reliable (or why it's a bad idea in the first place)? this is the cheapest way i can think of to get what i want. fyi, i'd bring along a portable weather radio on trips for emergency. aaron '87 syncro gl |
