It depends on what kind of stereo you have, but I'll be expecting that you have a headphone port on your iPod and composite audio jacks on the stereo. If that's the case, buy a mini-stereo to composite converter (such as the one pictured here and then a stereo composite audio cable. Plug the composite audio cable into the back of your stereo inputs, and that should do it.
If you have one of those really old hardwire systems, then you might need to take the heads off the composite cables and strip the wires.

You can try to use the earphone output connect to the line in of your stereo, which probably won't give you a satisfied result, as the earphone output is designed to be low power.

A better solution is to get a Dock, and the audio out of the Dock is designed for connecting to the stereo's line in (audio in).
