Recorded this just for fun: The stereo went bad in My Wife's car, and I didn't feel like shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a receiver since she only uses it for listening to music from her phone, so I grabbed a cheap amplifier off Amazon and wired that into the dashboard.

(You want to be careful when tying power right off the switched aux power, because many car amps draw more current than it can supply. For higher-powered options, tie into the unswitched power and use the switched rail to toggle the amp on and off so you don't drain the battery!)

Here is a link to the amp and some other useful things:
