alot of amp have a second line in or cd input that works independant of all the controls, if your amp has one of these try it, you may need a cable which splits a 1/82 jack to left and right speakers or a 1/8" to a 1/4" converter volume will probably be controled by your computer, i wouldnt recomend plugging it into where you plug your guitar in.

It'll work fine, as long as you don't blast too much bass through it.

I took a 1/4 to 1/8 cable and ran my Ipod through my little 10w and worked fine. The only problem was that it came through mono, It was a sterio cable but I'm assuming its because of the amp having a mono input.

why not buy some $5 speakers instead of using a very expensive amplifier?
