I helped a friend put a carpc into an '05 GT a couple years ago. We did pretty much what FirebirdTN did. You will need a seperate 4-channel amp to power the "regular" speakers. You will also have to run a +5v line to the amp that drives the subs. All we did was run a line from our existing +12v feed in the back and use a 7805 (I think that was it anyway... maybe a 7803??? it was a 78xx voltage regulator we got from radio smack...) to get the +5v.

I could kill my friend though..he took the carpc out and traded the 05 GT for an '03 Lexus 300. That GT was a MUCH better car IMO than the older lexus...but I guess he wanted to feel rich or something
