take the + and - from your rear speaker and put it to the Hi level input in back of ur sub, then put a power inverter to the power in put part

i did that with a klipsch 8 for my friend in a ford ranger, it sounded really nice

you're gonna need a big power inverter. my first system was a sony home stereo hooked up to a 15" stage monitor in a volvo. talk about ghetto....

Shivas were originally house speakers. The only difference is house speakers are usually a higher impedance.

Since it's a 100 watt sub, just take a multimeter and measure the resistance, and use it like a normal speaker from there. If it's got an amp in the box, don't use it.

the box has got a built in amp and crossover ;-/

im wondering how you would actually get the music to come thru the sub. how do you get the signal from the hu if you use a power inverter?

Power inverter =/ audio signals...

You run the sub through its low level inputs, same as always...
