Noob looking for help

[Crackhouse]

I'm new to the board and car audio. I would like to get some constructive help with my truck. I will first explain what I would like to do with what I have and get some feedback on whether or not it is feasible!

--93 Chevy Silverado Ext

--Stock speakers that are in good working shape; two up on the dash and two in the rear head panels that look like 3x5's

--Just installed a Kenwood KDC-X792 head unit

--On the ground I have some Kenwood KFC-6993PS 6x9's and a house sub KLH 12" and Sony Xplod 500w Amp

I would like to know if it is possible or feasible to make a box to contain the Kenwood and KLH speakers? Can I just take the speaker from the house sub and use it as a sub? Like I said I am new and never worked with this stuff before! Thanks in advance for help!

Probably not. The impedance on the KLH is probably 8 ohm and would be very difficult to power effectively. If you are looking for a cheap subwoofer there are plenty of options.

Yeah...everything is too expensive over here and most people are unfamiliar with shipping to APO addresses!

even if the sub is 8 ohm, if its home sub they arent usually rated for high power. if its rated for 100 watts, cant he use a 200 watt@4ohm amp and it work?

you can use home subwoofers for car audio and vice versa. Car subwoofers are made for the elements, such as heat, humidity etc.... Home subwoofers will probably fall apart such as the surround or even the cone over some time. Build a box throw it in and try it out.
