Installing computer a piece at a time

Hello...

I have been wanting a carputer for ages in one of my cars but haven't actually started on one until now. I am one of those people that kept on planning and replanning not getting much done other than looking at other peoples installs and trying to figure out prices.

I don't have a radio in my car (haven't for about 2 months now) cause I pulled my radio to put in my wifes car so she could use the AUX port for her MP3 player and instead of getting a stereo I decided to try the carputer instead. So today I started that...

Today I hooked up the wiring harness like any normal aftermarket stereo and put RCA plugs on the end of the speaker cables. I hooked up an adapter for my MP3 player so I know the speakers still work. They do...

So now I am going to figure out what I want for a computer to see what i am spending and then get the power supply I need for it.

OK so here is my first question. When i hooked the MP3 player up I noticed even at full volume it was not very loud. Do you think I am going to have the same problem when I have the computer hooked up? Should I hook up an amp so thay the speakers have alittle more power driving them or do you think its just the MP3 player that is low in output?

I hate to ask such a stupid question (and I see tons of newbie posts just like mine) but I figured its better to ask then mess it up.
