Car Subwoofer VS Home Subwoofer? Now a car subwoofer is slightly differently tuned and gives a kind of different sound. Now home subwoofers are meant to be tuned really low, they come out and shine around 25 HZ, however car subwoofers are tuned usually higher in the 35 HZ region for music. So the sound signature of a home theatre subwoofer will be alot of deeper and lower, compared to a car subwoofer that will be boomy and loud. 

Now inorder to make your car subwoofer into a home subwoofer, you will need a 12 volt DC power supply unit. This can be extracted from a old computer power supply which will be used to power on the car amp. Then you can use the line out from your amplifier so that the sound can be provided to it.
