I have heard of people taking their subs from their car and bringing them into the house for a little more. Is this bad for the sub at all? If it is firing without an amp and just being powered by speaker wire out of the TV?
not familiar with the free air termonology... if you mean without a box, no i would leave it in the ported box from the car. No amp though correct...very underpowered...but worth it? does it hurt the sub?
Won't hurt the sub but why? Most speakers in any tv are full range and 25w or less? You'd be left with only hearing the lows. Crappy sounding ones at that.
It would be like watching tv with ear protection on.
I hooked up my subs to my home stereo b4 but it was some low end pioneer subs they hit ok and there are some subs like the soundsplinter that are made for home or car use so i say go for it
