First of all... hello, this is my first post! I want to start gathering supplies for my first carputer project. However I have a question. I was just looking through the forums and want to install a lcd touchscreen and have it control my pc. My question is... do I need a headunit to play music through the speakers or can I run the speakers straight from the computer? Any input would be helpful.

you have 2 options
1. use a head unit with aux-in input
2. use an amplifier wired in between your computer and your speakers.

your computer soundcard would not have the power to drive the speakers.

oh ok... so I would just have to get the necessary adapters to go from sound card to the amplifier, correct?

Yeah. probably an 1/8" to RCA Male Stereo adapter.
