You can use car subwoofers for home hifi but you will ideally need a dedicated sub amp, you can buy these from a supplier online (i'll get the link tomorrow)
As far as I know you can feed them 8ohms without an issue  :smiley:
You'll need to design a good ported box as well, have to be quite large.

Have a load of speaker cabinet designs including Transmission line ones. Like a long curled cone, big sea shell type thing and also know how to work out wavelengths etc.

Yea cheers j_s if you could mate. Especially if that sub-amp had a low signal crossover in it!!
