How do you hook up a car subwoofer and amplifier into a house system?

I'm open to suggestions about what sort of set up (cheaper is better)… I just don't have a car worth putting it in.

i dont think you can?

   cheap way, get a car battery, and a car charger, hook it up so the house is charging the car battery, and hook the system up to the car battery accordingly. or buy a 110volt to 12volt converter. i used the first method in my room when i took my system out of my car for a while, my room was bumping!!!!!

   You'll need a $250+ power supply to convert the AC voltage from your house into DC voltage needed by the amps.

   To comment on the last answer, car chargers that put out the amount of amperage (current) needed by the amp(s) are hard to come by. That is, one that is supplying clean power.

   By a subwoofer plate amp from partsexpress dot com. You can get one for about $50. WAY better than $250 for an adequate power supply.

   simple one i used to do it all the time,,
   all you need is a 12 to 18volt transformer that can handle a +/- 5 amp load depending on the amps power and how loud you want to play it
   there after just hook it up as you would in your car…
