If I have the sound card connected to an amp then the speakers will have no problem getting sound (I need to get a AMP) but what about the radio ? Can I hear music from the radio once I get the amp installed to the speakers? Thanks.

Some stock stereos have the ability to controll a CD Changer. If yours can and you don't have one connected you may be able to find a adapter to convert the CD changer input to a aux-in. You'll have to search around (this site, google) to see if this is possible. If not you can always get headunit that can or use a seperate amplifier. If you use a amplifier and really want to listen to the radio you need an external FM tuner (PCI card or USB).
