Help! Connecting Car Speakers to PC

**hyperplus** · 11-07-2004, 07:45 PM

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and is really neat. But I need some help connecting my computer to the car's speakers.

This is the situation. I have a complete computer powered by a Opus DC to DC. I am taking out the car's head unit to put there the touchscreen. But how do I power and transmit sound to the car's speakers? The car is a Nissan Pathfinder 2000.

Thanks.

buy: wiring harness, speaker wire, amp

take out head unit,
attach harness
strip wires and solder speaker wire(accordingly),
run to trunk,
solder to amp connection,
amp---> computer

Heres a question for you all, as i see its mentioned above:

I am about to attach speaker wires to the wiring harness. Which way have people done this? Has everyone just stripped and soldered the wires on? Is this the best way to do this?
It also means that 4 sets of speaker cables need to be run from harness to boot (assuming 4 speakers - 1 in each door)
