Well, I decided to just try turning off the speakers without switching
a resistor in at the same time because the stereo is fairly old and
the CD players skips once in a while so if the thing quit I could buy
a new one. Oh well, it just keeps on working. I even tried turning the
radio up loud and toggled the switch a few times. The darn thing still
works. So, thanks for the suggestions all, I can now mute the stereo.

If it's new enough to have a CD player, then it has a transformerless output
and disconnecting the speakers is just fine. In fact, if it's in a car,
it's probably new enough...
