Yes, but depends on what CD player you have.

Does the cd player have an aux in? you could plug the sx-35 into that with a line adaptor and drive the lot with your cd player.

Otherwise it's complicated switch time, using 3 or 4 way rotary switches.

Have a speaker by your radio and your usual one outside and have the radio set to external all the time. That would do it.

Hi tony,

thanks for the help - think i'd keep this as simple.
Whats the best way just to switch to external speaker and internal?

cheers

Most radios use a contact on the socket for the external speaker so that the internal is disconnected automatically when the plug is pushed in. Thhe only way you can get internal speaker is to pull the plug out. Which gives you simple switching unless the plug is hard to get at. In which case consider another internal speaker with a switch. olewill
