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:
