[QUOTE="B@SSAN8OR, post: 824650, member: 557739"] car audio is going to be of less quality for home audio. the reason why a home audio system that is only maybe 500-1000 watts sounds soo good is that it doesnt have to cover up any other sounds. in car audio you are automatically starting in a 60 db hole. so you are trying to cover up the sound of your engine, the sound your tires make on the road, and other cars. which is about 60 db. if you are in a quiet room and then you hear 60 db it will be loud. so that is why you have to use so much more power in car audio. with home audio you dont have to really worry about that your house is insulated and drowns out alot of normal noises. all home audio speakers are going to be 8 ohms some might be lower but you really dont see it. with alot of high end speaker companys they only reguire about 100-200 of CLEAN power to make them sound awesome. that is also true with home audio subs. and you are working with something in a house and you dont have to really worry about things like resenant (sp?) freq of your car. if you want you can do it you can use your car audio equipment in your house. but the main thing about home audio is the type of enclosure for what you are doing. it also depends on the type of setup you are doing either 5.1 6.1 or 7.1...... the best thing to do is have all of the same speakers to get the best sound out of it. i had the best system with a 7.1 system of all polk audio tower speakers that had 3 drivers in them. so he had 6 of the same tower speakers and a center channel that had the same divers in it but was not a tower. then he had the top of the line polk audio sub that was a dual 12 rated at around 250 watts and he had neighbors complaing about the noise from over 100 feet away. you will have alot cleaner sound from home audio designed speakers then you will car audio anyday of the week. if you have ever been to ces you will notice that the home audio section is about 4 times as big as the car audio secting. home audio is alot more important than car audio. alot of companys spend alot of money getting home audio speakers to sound there best. that is also why you can spend anywhere from 100-100,000 on speakers. but if it works for you and your budget then go for it. your electrical bill might go up a bit though [/QUOTE]
