I have a rhino (4×4 golf cart) and I would like to install only an amplifier,two speakers, volume control and only use an I pod or MP3 player for the music source ( I do not want to install a stereo). Is this possible and if so what kind of amp 2ch or 4ch and how do you wire it? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

No damage to amp is possible if you set the gain on the amp right. My Mp3 player is ran straight to my amp – http://www.youtube.com/user/sparky3489
The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp for correct power matching and to minmize clipping.
Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.box.net/shared/uchv4dbk88
You’ll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter, $15 from Radio$hack), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.
If you don’t have Excel, use this link http://www.box.net/shared/nkkw1dhk4g
