Hi there!I want to know if it's possible to install my home theatre speakers in my car, the speakers are small Sony satellite speakers, and the sub woofer is a medium sized Sony sub woofer, about 300W RMS.Is it possible? Thanks in advance!
The issue is that home speakers are 8 ohm where car speakers are 4 ohm. All this means is the volume won't be as high with 8 ohms as it will with 4. Half in fact. Look to a 'carputer' with a 5.1 audio card. The idea is to have a non-hard drive based computer that runs standalone Windows XP from a Bootable USB drive that runs the music player of your choice using plugins. Your MP3's are stored on another USB drive that can be removed for editing. This all ties into your sound system (amp subs/speakers). No hard drive means nothing will crash (nearly). A touch screen display is really the only other peice of equipment needed that can be custom mounted in your dash as you say. Look up BartPE and Sherpya. These two guys found a way to run the full GUI of Windows XP on a USB drive (under 600 Mb). A shuttle style computer is all you need for the computer.
Yes, LOL, in fact I just did it about 3 days ago, it sounded pretty good which was the sad part. But I have heard that when doin this the home speakers will suck more juice from your battery. I haven't had any problems yet so far. So if nothing else go for it!
There's no reason why not; but most home speakers are 8-ohm, which will reduce the output power of your car stereo or amplifier. Car audio equipment is generally designed to work with 4-ohm speakers. It's not unsafe to use it with 8-ohm speakers, but the power will be reduced.
yes possible. but they are not made for cars they will sound lame i think
of course you can a car deck will take 4-8 ohms @ 10-25 watts a channel so if you put 300 watt speakers in a car they will be only getting what your deck puts out like 15 watts. home speakers are the same thing as cars speakers they will probably sound better because they are in a box. You are an idiot if you think it will drain your battery only sub-woofers will do that (or if you have a crappy alternator) i have put home speakers in a car and they sounded amazing better then my car speakers but don't go below 4 ohms or above 8 ohms or you will kill your deck
