Hardwired I-pod setup?

[Swifty1638]

Well, I sold my H/U and amp setup, so now i'm radio-less. I figured I could spend the money in a better area, towards something else. I wanted the ability to use my ipod, but I didn't want to spend the big bucks for that whole radio/wire setup. So, here's an Idea I think may work, but I want to test it with you guys.

Get a small amp. 75-80 watts would be perfect. Run your speaker wire from teh stock harness to the amp. Tape off the other harness you'd normaly use for the radio-power, acc power, etc. Run a power wire, from your battery, to a fuse, then to a switch (to control when the amp is on or not) to the amp finally. Then, ground the amp. Then, get the RCA to male headset connector from a radio shack, and hook that u from the amp to your headset plug-in on the ipod. Turn up the gain/volume on the amp, so you don't overload the volume on the ipod ( I hear that's sometimes an issue). Anyone see anything flaud, or missing here? I wanna know if it'd work, before I go do it, or ruin my expensive Ipod. I'm no wiring expert, so I'm curious.
