[QUOTE="BDP1, post: 7333688, member: 633352"] I stuck a car radio in the open cab of my large diesel mower with the intent of using a noise suppressing headset instead of speakers. I wired the speaker leads to a 1/8" stereo jack and used my mp3 compatible (Worktunes) headset. Now I start to learn about impedance mismatch. Takes a high volume setting at which it starts to sound bad. Apparently such headsets are typically 16-32 ohms. Finding an old 8 ohm headset works fine, but they don't seem to make them any more. Is there a way to accomplish a headset jack output from a car radio? I don't recall the model of the radio (Autozone) but it does have rca output for an amp, but that is not likely of use. [/QUOTE]
