MP3 Player amplification?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

Hello, I need to know if one can take the output of an MP3 player (say
5 or 10mw) to the input of a car amplifier (high or low level?)and get
an ok sound? Is it fesible...? i am green at this stuff. I have a
motorcycle that I would like to mount a car amplifier in the trunk (yes
it has a trunk cause it is a Honda pc800) and be able to plug in my mp3
player up near the front of the bike so I could then remove the MP3
player when i leave the bike. This would really be nice since the bike
radios are too expensive and i really don't want to use the headphones
from the MP3 due to safety issues. Any help would be great cause I
don't want to buy the amplifier if it would not work.....thanks in
advance.
