Car audio speakers for home audio!

[da box king 10+ year member]

Well I got a cheapo rca home theatre system. The reciever is set up for 5.1 and seems to do a decent job. But for some reason my sub aint workin just makin a flat noise.

Well I would like to make my own setup. How can I hook up and run some car speakers in my apartment. What will I have to do and need.

Would like to add a sub mainly and make 2 towers for highs and mids. I've seen the kits on pa.com but dont want to spend that much. I've got alot of stuff layin around....what to do!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Build a box, run the wires through, for the speakers and the subs, then run the wires to the reciever?

Pretty simple.

never actually thought about it like that.

so...what should I do for a setup

and should I get a differant reciever for the sub....reccommend me a decent reciever on the cheap?

I might throw all my infinity kappas I have left over in a couple towers...or anyone recommend a good cheap setup to do?

chances are the car speakers have a lower impedance than the receiver... you might blow it

the kappas are 2 ohm....could wire em to 4 ohm....my rca reciever puts out @ 4...thats what the other speakers are rated
