alright, so i have never had anything to do with audio before, i have a 1994 honda accord and this 1000w home stereo speaker lying around ( actually 2)

i wanted to take it apart and put the speakers from that box into the back speakers of my car, each box has 2 speakers. and each box is supposed to be 1000w, so, my first question, is this possible and what will i need, is there any guides, and can someone teach me about audio? what things do i need to know? and also, if possible, id like to make a plug n play kinda thing, where i can just store them in my trunk and plug them in whenever i wanna set them up outside and use them. i have these smaller speakers that would be perfect if i could do that. any feedback? could really use some help.

 

Don't do it

 

your useless, gtfo.

 

Anything is possible, first thing you will need is a "1000" watt amp to drive them.

Pulling them out of the box they are in would be pointless, you would only have to build another box like it, [same size] as the box they are in was designed using the T/S parameters of the speakers.

Another issue will/may be impedance, what are the Ohms of the speakers, are they compatible with the cars audio system.

Another issue will be efficiency, what is the 1W1M rating of the speakers?

There are other things to take into account, but the above are the important ones. 94

 

this makes more sense.

Instead of being useless I guess I should elaborate, explain why, and offer another suggestion. If this is a 3 way full range HT speaker with a tweeter/mid/woofer setup you're going to need to have a larger nice class a/b kind of amp to get clean sound on the high end that would be overkill to have that kind of power going to a woofer (dollar per watt it's going to cost more than a class d amp which is all you would need for just the woofer).


I'm going to assume that you don't have any subs in your car right now, since there would be room to put 2 large home theater speakers. For what it is going to cost to get this running on 2 full range home theater speakers you're gonna be better off (cheaper) just getting subs for in the car all the time. Pulling the subs a few feet out of the trunk isn't going to make much of a difference.

What will make a difference would be the 2 way mids/highs that are normally at the back of the trunk. If you have lets say 6*9 inch speakers in your back deck, get the identical speakers in the deck and put them into a small box. Those small boxes are easily transferrable, even with your normal sub box in the trunk. The good part about doing this is that you have the exact same speakers with the same specs running on the same amp. You won't ever have to mess with any settings, gain controls, crossovers, etc...All you have to do is unplug your 2 back speakers from the amp and then plug in the identical boxed ones that you can put anywhere.

I've done a similar setup with a pair of speakers in my Durango. The car had a wall in it, but I put some 6*9s on the back of the wall that weren't hooked up normally to the rest of the stereo that I could crank and listen to with the hatch open at parties, tailgates, and general parkin lot pimpin.

 

thank you, this is much more helpful, so what your saying, to sum it up, is id be better off and less costly to just put a sub in the car, and have 2 of the same sized speakers that are already in my car, in a box that i could put a long wired plug on and just plug them in instead of the originals when i want to use them?

in that case, where would i get the plugs and how would i wire the plugs to? ive personally never seen speakers outside of the car before, trying to get some facts before i wreck mine. also, is there anything special needed for a sub? whats it hook up to?

 

you won't need an extra plug for anything. You just unhook the back speakers from the amp and hook up the external speakers to the car's amp. By the way is your car stock as of right now as far as audio goes? If so, this might be pricey to do either way.

 

don't do it


home speakers are set up differently than car ones. your typical car audio speaker is rated at 4ohms, while the average home speaker can be as high as 16ohms. if this is the case, the deck will not be able to push much power to the speaker at all. (increased resistance at the speaker)


and fyi.. watts is how much power they can take, not how much sound they put out.
