Do your parents have a Stereo system?

If so, you could hook the iPod to the AUX in on the amp and play the iPod through that.

No. They don't.

No. They actually don't own a stereo system. That's the reason I was looking for a cheap speaker system for about $15 or so. That way the music could be heard without earphones & by everyone in the home (which is them mostly).

OK, but $10 is very low budget

Be a nice son and stump up a little more than that for something that sounds decent.

You could afford a 160GB iPod Touch for yourself, be a good guy and stump up $20 bucks for the parents. You know they've spent more than that on you and it sounds as though you are living with them now.

It's not really that I don't want to spend more. But the thing is I'm planning to buy a home theatre system with audio so I don't want to spend more now. I've been saving up for that now. I'll definitely check on to those that you've recommended.
