how can I plug a mic into my car stereo?

by "solar bus driver" <gary@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 31, 2008 at 02:59 PM

Hi,

I have a car stereo with an 1/8" AUX input on the front.  I'd like to be 
able to use that with a microphone so I can speak through the speakers
(this 
is in a 35 foot bus and I want to be able to talk to the riders).

I tried plugging in a mic directly and got nothing. I figured it wouldn't 
work without some kind of preamp...

So what is the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish this?  I don't want
to 
install a separate set of speakers just for the PA....  I really want to 
talk through the existing stereo speakers.  If there's a cheap preamp, or 
something made to do this, please let me know what I can use. I was 
thinking, maybe I could get a used CB radio and send the output through my

stereo...  but i'm not sure if I can use it as a PA or if it can only be 
used as a CB.

Any creative (and cheap) ideas are much appreciated!!

by the way, the system is going on this bus:

THANKS!!
