    I want to install a 12V automotive radio/CD player, (set up for 4 speakers) in the salon and drive the 4 speakers already installed, (two inside salon and two out on back deck) that are wired to the home stereo reciever/amp we now have.
    My concern: how can I do this without backfeeding the amp not in use and doing harm?
    I know that properly sized/ placed diodes in the 8 amp wires could, in theroy work but I'm not savy enough to know what and how or if something already exists for this situation.
    I also know that if I could find a switch box that would handle the 8 inputs switched to the 4 outputs that would work but have been unable to find such a unit or someone that knows of one by asking at local audio/ radio shack.
    Anyone done this, or have a suggestion? Hope so....
