you really need some sort of amp.

Not necessarily, just get a seperate amp only, the MP3 players volume control will be enough for volume control. And then later you can get a seperate HU that has line outs to connect to the amp, or just put a car PC in.

well, in the transition period between when i took out my headunit, and from the time that i'm going to put in my carputer this week, i've been running off my mp3 player, straight into a 4-channel amp, into the speakers, i've been doing this for a while, cuz my carputer project is...lets just say...slowly funded.

its an old muvo 256mb thing that takes AAA batteries, and its been doing just fine

Depends on what you want to get in the way of channels, power, features, quality, etc.
go do some research, man. There's dozens of online resellers of car audio products where you can do comparisons. You could also go to your local car stereo shop and get information there, as well.
