I have a boat which is fitted with a Pioneer Radio/Cassette/ CD
changer.. and two speakers it's nothing very special but does the job
well enough.. I also use a laptop computer aboard and the sound system
on the laptop is dreadful.. so it occurred to me that maybe I could buy
an amp for me wireless that had a aux input where I could plug in the
laptop and run the audio output from the laptop through the same
amp/speaker that I use for the radio...... is that feasible or am I way
off mark.. or is there a better alternative that I won't have to sell
the boat to buy.


Some recent car stereos do have an aux input for this very purpose. Check
the handbook.

The other simple way is a cassette adaptor. This looks like a cassette,
but has electronics which couple any external source into the radio via
the cassette replay head. They're rather variable in quality, though.
