Home Theater with Car Speakers and Amp? Good or Bad Idea?

[ihernandez81]

Hey guys need your suggestions again, I have a YHT360 5.1 with two Sony floor spearkers replacing the front speakers from the package, the YHT360 also comes with a subwoofer but it's powered by the receiver...urgh!

My Solution...
Add my own subwoofer to the powered subwoofer connector from the receiver.
I have a 960Watt Sony Car Amp, RMS about 150 x 2, and I have two 10" subs RMS 130W in a sealed box...so should I just get rid of the yamaha unpowered sub that is the passive type (the type with a hole in the box) or should i have both type plugged into the receiver? I'll get both types of Bass the kind with the hole and the kind without...?
OH yeah by the way, I'll be powering the car amp in my house with a power inverter from radio shack...

Thanks for your tips or warnings

Radio Shack sells a 50 amp 12VDC power supply? Because that is what would be needed for a standard class AB 300(150*2)watt car audio amplifier. It would probably be more feasible to buy a professional audio application amplifier. As for the speakers... well... I don't have any data on the speakers you have mentioned, so I can't offer any advice on that matter.

you could get one of these to power your subs

I'm not sure how it would sound with your subs, but it might be worth a try.

Remove the "s" from parts and it will work = www.partexpress.com

You are better off buying an amp than using the car amp with an inverter.
