I happen to have a pretty nice laptop (Dell Latitude C600) so the video part of it is worked out, but what about the audio? I know I can get a 1/8" mini to RCA stereo adapter but will the headphone output have enough voltage to drive my amp?

My head unit doesnt have any input besides one for a CD changer FYI
What I was thinking is just run a set of RCA cables direct from my laptop to my 4-channel amp if that would work (which is what I meant by the question about if the headphone jack would provide enough input voltage to get the amp going)

I used my AudioBahn from my computer using the headphone to rca works very well, the gain on the amp was at 1/4 if that bass boost off and it get plenty loud for my house... soo I would assume the output should be the same from a laptop
