Use the 200 pounds and buy a home stereo set up. Running a car amp indoors is not worth it. You will need a big 12 volt power supply, A car battery is not safe to have hooked up in your house. Check here for a decent Used Stereo. Good luck

hi i know a battery is not safe i have heard of people using a 12 volt power supply the set up is jus tintended for my bedroom and i have also hear that car speakers arwe of not good sound quality because of the right enclosueres etc i think a subwoofers enclousre would be fine so my plan right now is to purchase a car amp and subwoofer with the enclosure which will be powered by a 12v supply or which every best powers the amp and will be connected to my laptop i then plan to connect dj speakers which are better sound quality of a power of about 200wrms per speaker and by car sub being 300w rms it would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me weather or not i can connect dj speakers to a car amp as i am aware theres many ways to connect them rca pos neg wires etc the amp will already have enough power for 400w speakers i think it will be possible?

Im not really sure why you are stuck on using car equipment indoors, there is a lot of good home audio equipment new and used floating around out there that will make your setup a lottttt easier. But to answer your question, speakers are speakers, I'm not sure what your "dj" speakers are, and what there connection is like (i'm assuming 1/4" jacks, ie you would have to splice into the cable itself making for a pain in the ***), but pretty much all car amps have +/- wire outputs per channel.

Don't use car speakers or car amps... it's really not worth it. Invest your money in some real home audio equipment. It'll be a lot cleaner, nicer, and easier.
