Would my DC to AC inverter work for my stereo system in my car?

Basically, it's a 75 Watt DC to AC inverter, and will be used with an Altec Lansing 251 Model of a stereo system. My question is, when using my ipod, can i play music directly off of the stereo system using the car's power? Or will it fail miserably? I want to know so I don't go spending money on a waste of time. Thanks :)
