Hooking Car Subwoofer Up?

Has Anyone ever heard of Hooking a Car Subwoofer Up through a Home Entertainment amp, then running the Amp too a 3.5mm Jack in a sound card?



I want too know if it is possible.



Please, Dont just guess, and tell me about the Ohms. . .



A Educated answer is appreciated.



Thanks

I have heard of this before only in passing though on a website
give me a second to get some info ok

i did through a reciever, i used rca cable to go from the "subwoofer" output to a 360w 2 channel stereo to use for the amp. Then i just pluged the woofer's speaker wire up to the stereo, works like a charm and can push them about to its max.



If that makes since

Something like that.

So a 800W Sub would work with a 500W HomeTheather amp

Yea 800W is its max power I'm assuming... so it would still bump to everything the receiver can put out, but not its full potential I believe.

you need some sort of crossover, tho



and if it's a ported enclosure, you need a subsonic filter, as well



if you really want to run a component subwoofer in your house i would recommend either shelling out the dough for a plate amp, or simply buying a big 500-1000w computer power supply, and running your car amplifier off of it.

I have no idea what a Crossover is

Or a Ported Enclosure
or a Subsonic Filter

OR Shelling Out the Dough.

lol

I'm not sure if home theaters include them or not, but car amps include a crossover that can be manually set so you dont hear bass when there shouldnt be any, such as when people are talking or certain parts of songs. An enclosure is just that, it's a box which holds the subwoofer, you cant have just the sub sitting on the floor.

And "shelling out the dough" means spending alot of money.

What do cross over's look like?

Pictures? Links?

Thanks Again
