    Default Amp with 'ipod in' function?

    Basically I dont have a head unit in the VX anymore, but I want some music.

    Are there any amps about that can take a 3.5mm/Ipod input to give me some sound through the speakers?

    Only needs to be 2channel, fairly small and no more than 50Watts

    Doable?

    Pretty much every amp on the market will take its input from a pair of RCA's, in which case you just need a minijack to RCA lead. I may even have one lurking somewhere, if I find one, let me know how long you want it and ill solder it up the right length

    EDIT actually I have a load of connectors anyway so I can make you one

    As said, any amp will be up to it.

    plenty of amps on the 'bay I'd imagine.

    You'll just need a switched remote wire obviously for switching the amp on/off.

    Don't do what I have in the past, buy a cheapass RCA lead and use the shielding between the two channels for the remote live.

    A mate was wanting to fit just an amp too. No reason to have a head unit if you're not that bothered I guess.

    I guess an Ipod is a headunit...

    Some nice Rockfords on the bay & Alpine V12's. Thats as far as I got searching until I was looking at trainers..
