adding mp3 to stilo

[TheCarInfrontIsA-JTD]

Im looking to add my mp3 player to my stilo - as the stilo does not have a aux in, i was thinking of wiring directly into the speakers wires that come out of the head unit with one of these

what do you guys think?

i know that the only amplification will be that of the mp3 player, just wondering if it would be enough.

That won't work. What you have linked to there is an adapter that converts speaker signal (high voltage) to RCA signal (low voltage) so you can add an amplifier to your system if your HU doesn't have built in RCA outputs.

so if it was the other way around so to speak would it wo

the mp3 player is 3.5mm output, so i thought if i had a 3.5mm to rca adaptor then rca to speaker wire adaptor this would work?

if you have any other suggestions this would be good.

i think rca terminals are +around the edge and -on the points so i culd possibly make something that would convert to speaker wire myself?

RCA outputs are one way I'm afraid - out! They're also not powerful enough to drive speakers.

It would be easier to buy a new HU with MP3 input / compatability, plenty around for less than £100.

anyone think this may work with the stilo?
