or buy a car amplifier with a input cable hidden in the glove box for the iPod, or some such. If you don't want/need the tuner, no need to get a fancy schmany "reciever" car stereo. I'm sure if you take it to a car stereo shop and say "I want it to look like I have nothing but stolen guts here" they could accommodate you.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I want to avoid having to get another stereo. It seems like there should be a way to just use the speakers, I just don't know how.

I think this is the answer I'm looking for. Does it need to be a car amp? I think we have a couple dozen amps around the house.

ha, x-post with tommy.
Ya, the problem is, the speakers you have now need to have an amplified source. So, you can get a small car amplifier. Depending on your vehicle, it can sit behind the dash or under a seat, etc. If your not looking to make windows rattle, it won't be very large. It's just a matter of wiring it up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It'd need to be small and run off the 12V power system of a car.

Ha! another xpost with Tommy. OK, I'm going back to work. Sorry, no more xposts for awhile.

Yeah, I'd just like to have something to listen to in the car or driving back home will be brutal.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Jane can wire it up, plus, I think he'll like the decoyness of it.

The above is a link showing a graph of Tivo's net new subscribers over the years. I had no idea they were losing subscribers recently...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They were close to losing me and I don't see how they won't lose others--the switch to both HD TiVo and the per month (as opposed to lifetime) service were not working for me.
But if I can squeeze in under the wire and go HD and lifetime (assuming they stick around long enough...) then it's okay. Pricey, but okay. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost people by asking them to pay for the lifetime subscription all over again.
eta: And that's with me thinking they're the best thing since sliced bread.
