bassfreake Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 this may be a dumb question but how easy would it be to turn a car audio amp and sub into a serious home audio sub? or to turn a car audio sub into a bass cabinet for a bass guitar? Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Omega5002 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 You can use a car audio sub for home, but I would recommend getting a plate amp for the sub. Bass cabinet I have no clue about, so can't help you there. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin248 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It is really easy, the only thing though is using a car amp in the house can be very unstable. The cheapest route is to use a computer power supply but with that method you have to make sure that you have a high efficiency rating so that it will produce most of the power it claims without any worry. You also have to match or have excess amps than what your amp will draw. In home audio 150 watts rms is completely different than in the a car.

Tito DeLatorre Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 if you want to use a sub to its full capacity inside a home, get a PA Amp, Mixer and an EQ to tune it. plate amps only go so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfreake Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 idk if I wanna use a pair of 1kW RMS sub to it's full potential in a home... lol but thanks I will keep that in mind for later ;-) Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Tito DeLatorre Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 you can use just about any woofer, really as long as its impedence isnt extremely low like dual 1 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg93f150 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 so your saying i can use my 2 level 4's for my home sound system like when watching movies? haha ALL CREDIT TO XX1 FOR DC BANNER down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito DeLatorre Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 so your saying i can use my 2 level 4's for my home sound system like when watching movies? haha correct if its in a proper enclosure and wired correctly with an amp that can handle its impedence.

beaker Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Keep in mind that when you make an enclosure for a house, if you want it to have a flat response in room the box size is going to be 2-3 times what you would do in a car. I'm currently running a cheapy boston acoustics subwoofer in a 15.5 cubic foot box on 250 watts and its silly loud. Like, to the point where everything in house shakes. Its tuned to 20 hz using WINISD. You dont have cabin gain like you do in a car, but the larger box actually makes the speaker more efficent. Dont forget fiber fill, or angle the box sides, or you'll get cancellation at high volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Want my opinion? amplifed signals to speakers are a/c voltage. Seems wastefull and inneficient to me to turn A/C volts to D/C volts to A/C volts. i.e, wall outlet to DC powersupply, power an amp, then turn that back into A/C to your speakers.
