Hi all,

I've got a Pioneer home theater receiver which works good for DD movie soundtracks, but I'm not much on the satellite-subwoofer combo for music. The main stereo channels don't seem to get enough power to my main speakers for satisfying bass response. And I know these speakers are capable of good bass because I had them hooked up to a more powerful unit at one time.

So what I'm wondering is, can I hook a car amp up to the receiver and run the speakers through that instead? I've got a very nice Kenwood 100x2 car amp collecting dust in the closet. I'm almost positive I've seen adaptors for converting the 12-volt into a household outlet, and I can mount the thing conveniently out of sight in my entertainment center.

Anybody ever tried this, and any problems with it? It would really just be a temporary solution until I can afford a more conventional solution.

Thanks in advance.
