You need a proper hardwired crossover and some type of enclosure to dampen the woofer.

Home audio equipment has notoriously loose suspension(hence the loud output with little power) but they will perform less than poorly in free air.

The problem is, to overcome the ambient noise in a car, the woofer would have to cough up 3/4 of its output for you to even hear it over road noise. Thats why car audio woofers sacrifice quality at low volumes for maintained output at high volumes.


Let us know how the dumpster diving goes!

 

lol just incase you acually do go, better skip the one on gunn hwy cause we dont throw anything like that out...only broken shit...
