if by "do the trick" you mean to produce sounds from you PC then yes. If your asking is that an amp that will produce high end sounds then no.

And someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I think most factory speakers are rated at four ohms. So you won't even get those 36 watts per speaker. It works, but it's not exactly gonna wake up the neighbors.

I dont wanna wake up my neighbors but I have 4 ohm speakers from walmart and they are 400 watt speakers and the fronts are 200. I at least want to enjoy them I have no desire to attract attention to get my car broken into.

do yourself a favor and get something with more power. That thing seems to have less power than many aftermarket headunits. And you want more power than you need, or you will be stressing the amp and you will get more distortion. No one who buys a 800 watt amp for speakers actually uses the 800, but the speakers dont sound underpowered.
