Is it possible if i wanted to run a computer in my car that has its audio output to the sub and speakers.

I have a headunit that goes to an amp and a subwoofer, the headunit is a blitz and the 2 rca thingies go to the amp.

Yep it can be done. Either by using a headunit that has auxilary in that you can connect the output of the computer into or. Pull the HU altogether, you can run the output of the computer direct to your amp for th esignal. It will require alot of work to do this.

Hell, you can get an FM modulator at Wally world for thirty bucks. Easiest way if you don't need it permanently.

If he dosent have an auxillary input on the deck an rf modulator would probobly be the best because it dosent sound like he would have any idea how to tie it into the amp because you would need to amp both the speakers and the sub and you would need to hook up a crossover for the sub to sound any good

Not recommended... it's easy to blow speakers when you lack a volume control that isn't software-based. Plus any headunit powered speakers will be silent... having a sub only won't exactly be musical.
