do what best buys do, get a cheap deck and hook up two cheapo speaker, run your RCA preouts and amp turn on and power and ground, mount the deck and speakers in wood so its all together, then all you have to do is plus the amps turn on, RCA, power and ground on.

Have you ever installed a deck into a car? Its the same process except probably a bit easier. You just have to manually splice the power, speak, and ground leads outta the headunit to their respective mates.

All you need is a car battery and a car stereo and you can hook it right up to an amp, that's what best buy does

Why would you use a car battery when you have access to 120 VAC?

You can just use a PSU from a computer or any other sort of 12 V Power Supply.
