Ive got a samsung s3 mp3 player and i want to straight connect it to my car speakers since i need the radio space for gauges. What size resisters would i need to keep the audio from feeding back into the mp3 player and ruining it? thanks

Do you know where I can buy suck a cheap amp?
If you run that mp3 player straight to 4 ohm speakers, the audio output of your mp3 player will burn out. And adding resistors to get it to a safe impedance for the mp3 player will only make the sound weaker. The sound level will be as loud as headphones, which you won't be able to hear.
You could get a cable like this and run it to an amp safely and you'll be able to hear it:
Even a cheap 25 watt amp will let you be able to hear it, plus it's easy to hide a smaller amp out of the way. Secured in a glovebox, under a seat etc.
Edit: From the looks of it, you probably aren't trying for world-class sound, so you can probably find one on ebay. Or just get a cheap 4-channel one from walmart or something. The good thing would be is that you can use the existing wiring that went to your stock radio to wire up the small amp.
