Car subs in a house

[400exracer08]

As anyone hook up car subs in a house. i am just wondering how to do it?

I belive they just hook up like a normal house sub. One of my friends did this, and I don't recal him doing anything special. He has a house sub in his car too.:huh

It works BUT is not ment to work and could cause some damage to your reciever OR the sub itself (I did it and blew the sub).. But if you wanted to do it you would need amp-age my friend lol

I know of people that have done it and they hooked them up like you normally would .

Save yourself the trouble , and just go look for a guy downtown with a white van selling subs made for in-home out of the back of his van . Usually will cost you no more than $50 . LOL ( atleast here in our town anyways )

not to be a dick, but why does everyone on here want to do this?? cars and home require two totally different designs

well i have to subs that are no longer needed in my car and it thought it would be cool have subs hanging from my garage wall

I guess I'm pretty picky about stereos, but it would take quite a bit to make it work and sound properly.. best bet would be to just put a powered home audio sub in there

i hooked a kicker ss10 box to a kenwood receiver, worked so good, i never put the box back in my car.

as a matter of fact, i think the kicker box sounded better than the infinity speakers i have now (daughter poked a hole in one of the kicker subs and i replaced them)

It's all in the ohms. Home stereos are typically 8 ohm systems and car stereos are typically 4 ohm systems. In order for your car subs to work on your home stereo without any negative effects to your home amp, you would have to run two 4 ohm car subs in series on your 8 ohm home amp per channel (right and left) (4+4=8). If you wanted to run home speakers in your car, you would have to run two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on your 4 ohm car amp per channel (right and left) (8 divided by 2 = 4).

Long story short, to do what you want to do, you would need 4 car stereo subs. 2 for the right channel and 2 for the left channel wired in series to your home amp.

I've got a 12" sub in a customer down-firing enclosure attached to my home theatre. It's powered by a kenwood Amp (for a car) on a 13.8Volt 15Amp Regulated/conditioned power supply. Works like a champ.. Sounds better than almost every other "home cube" type sub I've heard. And I have the satisfaction of putting it together myself.
