[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8010296, member: 576029"] actually, the answer is no. you cannot connect two sources to the same amp input. i think Mylar misunderstood your question. with your idea using a splitter to connect two sources to the same input there is no way to switch between them and if you run both at the same time the weaker one (ipod) will fail permanently (besides both playing at the same time). i assume all speakers are powered from this amp and nothing is powered from the head unit? because that would be the only way your idea would work. assuming all speakers are powered from the head unit, you could just unplug from the head unit and plug into the ipod. that is the free solution. anything else (that would be the correct way to do this) will require you spend money. if speakers are powered by the head unit then you can only use a head unit interface. did you use a wired FM modulator before or wireless? some Sony head units had a CD changer input that can be adapted to an AUX input.
