A car subwoofer is fitted into a vehicle to add more bass. If you have a car subwoofer sitting in your garage thats not getting used, you can connect it to your home stereo without a car amplifier. Most home stereos are powerful enough to get a little thump from any kind of car subwoofer. If you want to really go all DIY, you can get a car amplifier and a car CD player and power it all from a computer supply unit. But nothing special is needed to connect a car subwoofer to a home stereo though, literally all you require for the install is some spare speaker wire.
1) Place the subwoofer enclosure box near the home stereo amplifier.
2) Attach the speaker wires into the terminal cup on the box matching the colours.
3) Now you will need to find two speaker terminals on the back of the home stereo amp. To get the best power output you possibly can its best to bridge them across. So connect the negative speaker wire into negative slot on one channel and the positive into the slot on the second channel. This will total up the power between both sides giving you one big output.
4) All you need to do now is adjust the crossover and equalizer setting on the home stereo to get the best bass sound.
