    I will post on audio forum also but here is my plan and any suggestions are welcome. I have a PC which I will be mounting in the trunk and plan to power with a OPUS 150 watt DC-DC power Supply. I plan to put a 7" touchscreen in the dash as sharkweb and others have done and mount an aftermarket head unit in the glove compartment. I am going to run a sub in a custom enclosure in the trunk along with an amp for the sub and speakers in the rear deck. I plan on running front and rear door speakers with the aftermarket head unit. Both the front and rear door speakers will be aftermarket. I plan to run an audio out on the computer to the audio in on the head unit. Is this all i will need to do to have the computer fully integrated into the sound system of my car? Right now I have a non-Bose stereo system in my 1998 A4. Sorry for the long post but I have the money to do it right but I have to do it right the first time.

    I used a Clarion EQ/Line driver to accept the audio out from the sound card. then split the signal and sent to the amps. I did not use any headunit.

    PM me man. I will hook you up. And I have that custom fiberglass sub enclosure already made and will most likely be selling it. I am going to buy an avant next week.
