Answer 1

I've seen this same question asked many times.

The answer is yes, but it's definitely the ghetto approach.  Your car sub is probably non-powered and may be at 4 ohms.  You surround receiver would need to have an AMPLIFIED sub output and would have to be 4 ohm stable.  Most surround receivers have a line level output (non-amplified) for the sub out, so then you'd need a separate amp just for your sub.   If your thinking of using your Car Amp, then you'll need a high current 12V power supply and at that point you might as well do it the right way and buy yourself a home theater powered sub!

Answer 2

Leave the car audio in the car. You can do it but.....It will cost you more than just getting the proper sub in the first place.

Answer 3

Your home theater receiver should have a low-level subwoofer output.  Scrounge an old stereo receiver from a thrift store, yard sale, or dumpster, and use that as an amplifier (feed the signal into a "line" input on the receiver).

Car subs may not sound so good indoors, since a lot of them are designed to take advantage of the "cabin gain" inside a car, and won't do much real bass in a larger room.  There are exceptions; some very good car subs are also very good home theater subs.  Look for an enclosure design that'll give you a 3 dB down point below 40 Hz.

Answer 4

yes, you can get upgrader or amplifier that can do both up , up and lower the volgate  to adjust to your home theatre
