You can buy a small 45watt amp. Only about 4" x 5" and mount it up under the dash somewhere. It will have RCA inputs. You would just need a mini-jack headphone to RCA adapter. Connect 12v power and ground wire. Also most AMPs have a 12v signal "turn-on" wire that is usually powered by a head unit. So you would just need to wire the to a 12v switched source and mount a on/off switch somewhere.

Something cheap like this would work:http://cgi.ebay.com/NITRO-BMW43-4-CHANNEL-AMP-300W-SMALL-BIKE-CAR-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitemZ120647993133QQcategoryZ18795QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D300465066601%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5263477706814177350#ht_4070wt_1141

Nothing fancy needed for your application as you dont need a tuner. Look around and you can find lots of budget compact car amps like this. They come in 2 channel and 4 channel applications. If you are only going to have front speakers, than 2 channels is all you would need.
