You "can" .... but the speaker will blow eventually...
Home recievers put out 8ohms most car audio equipment is at the most 4ohms.

You can build a powered subwoofer that plugs into the wall and takes out puts from your stereo... you just put a car amp and a ac to dc converter in the box...
Most home subs are like that anyway... selfpowered seperate units...

If it's self powered then the receiver isn't driving the sub, so the impedance of the receiver/sub shouldn't matter. Besides, if the receiver is spec'd for 8 ohms and the speaker for 4, you need to worry about blowing the receiver not the speaker. For a self-powered sub check if you have an output on your sub for self-powered. It will be an RCA jack for the sub, a pre-out. b |
