I’ve done that too… I have a Sony Xplod head unit (tape deck face[plate) and a modulater that plugs in. Looks like I have a crappy tape deck, and no one wants tape decks anymore!
Zen plugs in, and goes with me.[/quote]
I mean using only a mp3 player. No deck at all.[/quote]
I dunno, it’s an idea… I like to throw a CD in every once in a while.
How do you hook them up anyways? 1/4" mini plug to RCA? I’d still need a new amp for the sub, and for the speakers if I used that, so it’s probably not the cheaper route.[/quote]
I toyed with the “no deck” idea, but I decided I did really want to be able to listen to the radio (the zen touch doesnt have an FM tuner) and since I’d like to throw in CD’s occasionally (changer in the back.)
However, I found I listen to the radio less and less… I may sell my deck and changer…

Depends on the person i suppose. I don’t listen to the radio, except for Jazz FM, and the odd night when jungle is on the radio.
But the Creative Zen does have a FM tuner. IIRC. :?
Anyway … yes you can use a headphone -> rca adapter then plug it directly into your amps that is what I am doing. If I really wanted radio I could just plug in a walkman or something. Since I shaved my antenna my reception hasn’t exactly been stellar anyway.
Just remember to then reset the gains on your amps with your ipod (or whatever) turned up to 70% or so.
