Can I hook my car subwoofer up to my home audio receiver?

I know that most home audio receivers are 8 ohms, well I have a dual voice coil sub and each is rated at 4 ohms, so if I wire it to 8 ohms like this – http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42 – Would I be able to plug my sub directly into the back of my audio receiver in my house?

hey yes u can

   i would not try that the home audio receiver may not enough watts to push the sub and will burn the receiver up

   it the watts you need not the ohms

   course if the connections are thier. lots of amps have a 4or 8 ohm switch look for one. And can run 4 just fine. i think its series that makes it an 8 ohm speaker

   i assume the woofer is mounted in an enclosure and has a fixed crossover .The woofer can be hooked up to your second set of speaker terminals.you may have a problem balancing the output of your primary speakers and the sub woofer. You also want to take into consideration the overall output power of your receiver.

   Hey there I just wanted to let you know, I really like the written content on your web site. But I am utilising Chromium on a unit running version 9.04 of Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite satisfying. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially look at the posts and search for data, but just wanted to let you know concerning that. The navigation bar is type of challenging to use while using config I’m operating. Keep up the superb job!
