my pioneer premier cd player broke, and i can't send it in for warranty becuase i have no reciept and i bought it on ebay. So i had this idea, i hooked up my freinds portable cd player directly to my amps, one amp runs my door speakers, one runs my sub. And it worked great, just had to turn the gain all the way up. So im considering buying an ipod and using that as my cd player, by hooking it up directly to my amps. But my main concern lies here, i know my pioneer cd player had a 4 volt pre amp. Most cheap cd players put out 2 volts. What kind of voltage will i be getting from the headphone jack of an ipod, and are there any other reasons why i shouldnt do this?
the control is no problem to me, i'm gonna give it a try. Is there such thing as a voltage booster? something i could plug the RCA's into from the ipod,and out to the amps and it would increase the voltage?
