amp input question

Can you plug a cd player into an amp? Like will it play it through the speaker like a normal cd system would? Can you gain the cd song and mess it up so it's all wrecked? or will it fuck up ur amp?

    I've done it. No it won't blow it up unless it's really small and you crank the volume too high you can effect it sure but it's no problem. It's just an amp and speaker, it won't sound very good thought and the Frequency range of the CD is much greater than that of guitar speakers so watch it on the lows.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Easily possible...

    The only real problem is connections. You'll need some adapter to get the signal to mono quarter, and you will lose the stereo signal if you don't sum the two sides to mono. Also, a CD player will hit an amp harder than a passive guitar signal, so you have to be careful. Start with low gain and low volume, and work your way up.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
