Get an amp. Don't worry about the CD player. If radio is what you want get a little pocket walkman, or wait for the new empeg tuners to come out.

Uhhh... Yeah. What he said.

I have a dual-din installation in my car, with empeg plus a CD/AM/FM head unit, all running through an Xtant 6 channel amplifier and MB Quart speakers. (A pretty high end system, really) In the year and a half I have had the system together, I have used the CD player twice. And maybe once every couple of weeks I will use the radio (NPR) for news.

Dump the old head unit, replace it with the empeg and install an amp. You'll be glad you did.
