Finally use the male to male 3.5mm cable to plug the ipod into the radio's head phone jack and to quote Emril "BAM" instant loudness.

The volume is excellent it goes quite high much higher than the ipod could do by itself.

The total cost: about $32.00 much cheaper than one you would buy and that includes the Amazing Eneloop rechargeable batteries.


Now kickback in the back yard with your favorite beer (or soda minors) and listen to famous sounds of internets' radio. Enjoy!

great instructible. i just made the same thing basically although i left everything iintact. all you have to do is take a headphone cable- leave the plug end, and cut the other end. solder the leads to the pins on the volume potentiometer and you can still have am fm radio and as soon as you turn on the ipod the radio can be turned down and your ipod will control the volume instead. great idea using the amp though!
