If you're just using it for listening in a small space, IMHO 72W is enough. However, you should install proper 6A fuses and remember not to turn the volume way up.
You can use a DPDT switch as the on switch to automatically switch the battery to the car charger when you turn it off.
This is what I would do, but if you want more than 72W you will need a more powerful supply.

Hmm Okay So This is going to be my setup basically
Logitech x-230 with a 4" sub
Infinity Reference 300 watt rms amp
Infinity Reference 1252 12" 300 watt rms Subwoofer
Audio RCA to 3.5m Phono Jack
Headphone splitter
Car battery charger
Possibly a car battery
2.1 sound card
The logitech x230 would be the mids and the sub is just there it would connect into the headphone splitter
RCA connects to amp, and the other side would go into the splitter
the splitter goes into my pc's soundcard
the infinity sub connects to the amp
car battery charger powers amp or car battery
Is that setup okay? I know I will lose some quality by splitting but as far as i know you cannot have 2 soundcards working at the same time.

Whether or not splitting will degrade the quality will depend on the equipment, but the ear is the best measuring device.
If you have a Creative soundcard I would recommend the KX drivers. And if you use Winamp get the kernel streaming plugin (google for "winamp kernel streaming plugin"). You can also try the low-latency waveout plugin from winamp.com. IMO it sounds better but on my system it has serious bugs.
Since you are using a soundcard for your source I would recommend getting a soundblaster, if what you have isn't already one. Note, most other creative cards aren't nearly as good. Some on these forums recommend a good USB DAC.
