Car audio in home hook up

Bronze Member Username: QuirkySA, Texas Post Number: 70 Registered: Feb-07 | my friend has a 15" sub and a 1000.1 kicker amplifier. he took it out of his car because it is currently in the shop and was wondering if he could hook it up in his house by directly connecting it to a 12v motorcycle battery. is this possible to work or am i just trying to fry something here? |

Bronze Member Username: QuirkySA, Texas Post Number: 71 Registered: Feb-07 | so the only thing i should be worried about is the battery exploding, but my amp and sub should be ok? or is this all just one bad idea looking to blow up my house haha? |
