5.1 Home Theatre in a car?

Is it possible to implement a real home-theatre like speaker setup in a car, with all 4 speakers, plus additional center and subwoofer all fed independently?

I know MTX TC4004 amp can handle 4 independent inputs, but how should I run my center and sub? I have yet to see 6-channel amps, and I want to avoid running 2 amps in a car for space, power and cost reasons.
The audio signal will be low level sourced by a computer.

Sure you can do it. If you have the proper outputs needed. They do make 5 channel and 6 channel amps. Some setups even have external dobly digital decoders. I have been tempted to do this if i can figure out if the sub output on my 5 channel can be doubled as a center channel. I think it's class D output though so it might sound wrong. But to answer your question, yes they do make setups to do it, the hardest part is mounting the center speaker. I know kenwood, and maybe other comapnies, make a small centerchannel that fits into a single din slot.

are you planning on installing video screens and watching surround sound movies in your car?
