Car Sub for Home
I have a Pioneer TS-WX100BP and Im trying to use it on my home audio system. So anyone has any suggestions on how to make it work. By the way the receiver Im using is a Sony STR-DA2ES

The Sony STR-DA2ES manual indicates that if you use a sub-woofer, it has to be a powered type. That means the sub-woofer has to have its own amplifier.

The specs for the Pioneer TS-WX100BP indicate it is an unpowered speaker.

You would need a separate mono audio amplifier or a stereo amplifier that can combine the two power outputs into a single mono output into a 4 ohm load.

Well first of all, that receiver doesn't have a sub amp, so you'll need some kind of additional amp. That means either a separate standalone home amp, or a car amp and a high-current 120VAC-12VDC power supply.

To be blunt, you're probably a lot better off just picking up a powered sub designed for home systems. A separate home amp will probably cost just as much, and may have problems with the lower impedance of the car sub; the car amp and power supply option will end up costing more and add a lot of complexity.
