Most CD decks have line outputs designed to go to those massive bass amps the kids like to rattle windows with. These are a lower-level, higher-impedance signal that can go straight into your audio panel input. Only problem I've had (using a SONY deck and PS Engineering audio panel) is that the gain in the audio panel is pretty low. Apparently there isn't much standardization of the peak-to-peak voltages on the line outputs from CD decks. Still, if you can use this method, it avoids having the extra parts and wiring hanging somewhere behind the panel.
