Default Road King with no head unit options??

I am looking to put in a system on my road king I was thinking RF BRT300x2 with a pair of 6x9’s in the lids, but how will I be able to connect to the amp since no head unit??? I will be using an iPod. Can I connect direct or is there another type of amp I can use? I see Pyle has amps with USB connectors but they are very low in wattage.

The RF BRT 300x2 comes with an RCA connectors but I am not certain if that will be enough to exclude a head unit or pre amp type piece to boost the iPod signal.

Use one of these directly to your amp, controlled by the iPod

But will the signal volume be high enough from the iPod? Since there isn't a head unit to boost the iPod signal...

Use a headphone jack to RCA adaptor cable. A lot of people have done it that way and have had success.
