I'm still kind of confused on this...

Let me run down this again. I have a Monoblock amp which hooks to my subwoofer and nothing else. I have 6 other speakers in the car which just run through my harness into the CD player, no amp.

Can I somehow cut off my harness and attach a 1/8'' audio jack onto each of the speaker leads then plug each one into the appropriate spot on the sound card. Then convert the bass channel on the sound card to RCA, plug that into my monoblock amp, and power my woofer normally?

Or do I have to buy an amp? I'm assuming I'de use a 4-channel amp, tweeters, door speakers, rear deck, and sub. Is that four channels? Or is left and right it's own channel, meaning a 7 channel amp?
