Hia I have a car stereo with speakers amp and subwoofer, im junking the car it was in and was wondering if it were possible to direct connect all this together with a car battery or with the battery current blow it up... If anyone can help me it would be very appreciated. The stereo is on a 15 amp circuit, and i basicly want to build an outside stereo i can move around but its all car audio equipment.

You would need a very nice 12V power supply. The size of the power supply would depend on the size of the amplifier. I would highly doubt the car amplifier requires a 15A circuit. Most car amps are larger and less efficient than that. A small car battery would help give a little reserve capacitance but isn't 100% necessary depending on the power supply. Honestly, with the money you would put into a power supply you could get a cheap home receiver and it would be a far easier set up and more efficient. Car and home audio products are built very different because they are two completely different acoustical environments. Nonetheless, it is possible to do without blowing anything up.
