CD and Cassete installation with no input

Post by Andy »

My car has a factory CD player with no cassete input, and I have a cassete player to install. But this also doesn't have a CD input. I will have to share the four speakers. If I turn the power at same time my system will be damaged? I am not sure could some one tell me how to do it? Thanks. Andy

Andy--- You had better be CAREFUL!!

Speakers may look like speakers, but GM and other vendors use different impedances and voltage systems with their speakers. If you can get the details you maybe OK. I would suggest you contact Crutchfield in Charlottesville, VA on 1-800-955-9091 or via the internet on www.crutchfield.com and get some GOOD guidance. I ended up buying a little FM tranmitter from them to use with my GMC Jimmy. I use it with the cassette rig on the car seat and then tune the radio to a non-utilized frequency. It cost about $39 as I remember.
