Subwoffer question?

Question

i have a sub in my truck,can i use that to have a sub in my surround sound in my room? can i hook it up to it?

Answer 1

its possible, but I honestly don't know how good it will work. First, car subs are designed to be placed in a small amount of square footage...ie a car. Home theatre subs are designed to fill up a whole room. Another issue is ohms. Car subs run anywhere from 1 to 4 ohms, where as home theatre systems run on normally 8 ohms, but sometimes 6 and 16. So if your receiver has an amp built in, you better make sure you match the ohms, because if you hook up a 4 ohm sub to a 8 ohm and up only amp, you're gonna cook your receiver. So all in all, yes, its possible, but in my opinion it wouldn't sound that good.
