I wasn't sure if this is the right place to post this for a response as I am new and not well versed in everything audio.
Anyway...I got the below line to RCA converter to use in a car stereo application but was wondering if I could use it for home as well. I have a powered sub that only has RCA input and a very old school Technics stereo with no dedicated sub out. I can hook the sub to an RCA out, but that sends a signal that does not vary with the volume control, so bass level is set only by volume on the sub.
On the Amazon site this question for home use did come up, but I dont really rely on Amazon replies. Some said you can, others said no because car audio is 4 ohms and home is usually 8 ohms for speakers. That made no sense to me at all. My assumption is that as long as the speaker level feeds don't send too many watts (40w per channel)then things will be fine. So if I have this hooked up to a regular home stereo and don't play it too loud, will it work? Or is it likely to blow up or just not work at all?
Thanks
