Carputer setup - help needed on Audio

I'm dong some reseach on how to put a carputer in my car. I got some questions

1) If there is a RCA output from PC, how do I connect to stock amp?
2) how about sub amp?
3) how about EQ?

Thanks!

does the amp accept RCA connectors, or do I need to splice the wires?

I can't say i figured out EVERYTHING. I know when this is a go, I'll ditch the HU and mold a 7" TFT touch screen (almost the same as you have) in its place. Run the audio out of the PC to some amp (stock or aftermarket) then it'll come from the speakers (again, stock or aftermarket)

I saw one or two pics of people taking out the HU and doing the mold of the 7" indash. I plan to do the same when I have enough experience with bondo and painting.

I did some checking out today on what can fit my car. Looks like components up front, 2 way at the back, 4-ch amp plus labor will cost around 1000$CDN. Need more research on it. Looks like this carputer project is getting bigger and bigger
