nevermind1281 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 My friend wants to use his cars subs for his stereo. I know a more then most people around here(my family and friends) about audio and audio setups. But I dont have a car yet so I havnt delt with that much so I cant answer his question. Would he just hook them up like a regular sub or would he need converters and/or amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguru Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Car subwoofers can be used at home with a stereo system.They are connected the same as in a car:1) They need their own high power amplifier and an active crossover circuit to feed their amplifier only the very low frequencies.2) The active crossover circuit will also have a highpass filter for the main stereo amplifiers so that they play only the mid-bass and higher frequencies.3) Only a single subwoofer is needed but if two are used then they must be connected in phase with each other.
