Default Hooking up an MP3 player to car stereo speakers?

My '66 came with the standard AM radio that no longer gets any signal because a hurricane took my antenna. Considering I never listen to AM, I'm not going to replace the antenna anytime soon. However, I can't just ride without any tunes. I've resorted to using my guitar amp as an MP3 speaker when I ride. Needless to say, it's not a high-end amp, and it's just one large speaker without a whole lotta bang.

My question:
Is there a way to jury rig my 'Stang's car speakers so that I can hook up my MP3 player to them? Preferably something very cheap, though I'm open to other methods just to get a wide view of the situation. So, long question short: how do I make this happen?

Your question jogged my memory on something I just saw on EvilBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Channel-480W-D...#ht_7225wt_983

How well does it work? I have no idea. In theory, it sounds like just what you need, and pretty cheap besides.

LOL! I'm not sure what it actually is either, but they're at least pretending it's a four-channel amp!

Disclaimer: I do not have one of these "amp-thingys," I don't know anybody who has one, and I receive no profit if you buy one. Your mileage may vary, your mother warned you, and don't try this at home.
