Answer:

NO,



Headphone outputs are designed to drive headphone that have a higher impedance then a speaker which is low impedance (like 8 ohm or 4 ohm). Speakers require more wattage whereas a headphone output is in mW and basically close to line level. What you need is a small amp or receiver that takes line level in and has speaker outpouts. You can use a 1/8" stereo plug to RCA Male Stereo cable to connect the iPod to th amp.
