auxillary port in amp

[saywhat? 5,000+ posts]

do most amps have an auxillary port on them? I need one as I only plan to run my Zune and no cd player. I want the dash in my truck perfectly smooth once I get to that point so a CD player of any kind is unneeded. Any help is appreciated. I am kind of looking at a Directed A502, I don't want a lot in this setup, and that has the power I need.

you could plug it in rca, and then out to another amp:wow:

try a headphone - rca wire and plug it in the rcas of the amp. probably sound like ******* though

possibly looking at a 200.2 kicker. would either of these work? And also, if I plan on running a substage later on, how could I run them both together to work off my MP3 player? Is it even possible?

i just dont want it to sound like straight *******. im thinkin though that if its not through the radio, meaning an unused station, like the IPOD docks, it will sound alright....i just want it to get decently loud.

also, i dont know that I would be able to tune it enough to make it acceptable as far as bass/mid/high mixture..

as long as the setup gets gains set correctly and overall tune correctly, it will get loud and has potential, if the zune has good output, to sound decent

if you really want to know what it will sound like, I will plug my laptop directly to my front stage amp when I get off work and let you know what happens

I have multiple plugs linked above:fyi:

why not go from MP3 to a line driver to an eq? then amp?

I thought most mp3 players had eq's built in

I don't own one

im thinkin MP3 to EQ to amp. if I absolutely NEED a line driver, ill get it later. i am ordering some either kicker or diamond comps, i know they are not the greatest as they are low level comps, but i just need some music in the truck, and a kicker 200.2
