Ipod without a headunit?

Ipod without a headunit?
I've got a little idea I'd like to see if anyone has an idea how to implement. I'm looking to ditch the factory headunit and just use a Ipod as a source to supply the speakers in my car (trying to lose as much weight as possible and free up space for a nicer switch pannel).
Can anyone think of a good way to do this?

I'm trying to drop as much weight as possible here. 10+lbs (not two as you said) is a lot when you're trying to get a car down to 3200 with a 200lb driver. Also, it frees up a TON of space on and behind the dash for a nicer switch/gauge setup and wiring panel, I can junk the stock wheel (only reason it's still there now is steering wheel controls), etc.
I don't need crazy good quality, just something for longer trips.

Not to be a jerk, but it's not for you to decide.

The Monsoon amp is designed to accept speaker-level (already amplified) signal from the head unit. Your iPod produces line-level (unamplified) signal from its headset plug. There are some small "booster" devices that bump up the output to speaker level but they are mostly battery driven (portable) and don't produce good sound quality.
A small aftermarket amp won't weigh much and will allow you to remove the Monsoon amp as well as the head unit.
