How should i hook up powerful car subs in the house?

-I have two 12a that were running at roughly 3000 watts. I spent a pretty penny on them and they dont fit in my new car. I listen to alot of bass heavy music and I figured if it is possible, I would like to put them in my house, and maybe even DJ with them. How would I be able to use these with house audio systems?Just hook them to a home amp, but most home amps are capable of handling a min of 8 ohms. If the ohm level is lower than that, the amp may blow or shut off randomly at high volume.



Your car subs im guessing are 4 ohms. If they are you can simply wire the subwoofers in a series and connect them to the home amp just fine without worrying if youll blow the amp.



If your subs are DVC (most large subwoofers are) than you will have to wire both voice coils of ONE subwoofer in series and it should create an 8 ohm load for one woofer, do the same to the other and connect each woofer to its own channel on the amp.



Home amplifiers don't put out enough power for car subs. Home amps ussally pack a max of about 200W, 400W and 500W.

What you can do if you're looking for more power is find a PA amplifer. PA amps can handle 2,4,8 and sometimes even 1 OHMs but alot of them put out about 1000-3000W RMS per channel. which can easlily blow any subwoofer.
you shouldnt but if u do make sure u wire for correct ohms and also u will need a good cross over so u dont run full range through subs not good for them and sounds terrible
