Can you do what you want to do - in general yes. As you are the HF signals should not damage the sub as it will effectivly filter at about 80Hz anyway (though putting a full spectrum signal into a tweeter will fry it in seconds).

You will need to make sure the phasing of your wiring is correct or the sub will be cancelling itself out.

But realisically - why bother, unless you connect this to a sub amp and have a system with sub audio it will just sound weird. The sub speakers on your stereo speakers will have a frequency response probably from about 120hz down, your sub will prob. only work effectivly from 80hz down so you will have a 120-80hz hole in the sound.

quick answer to your question is NO - you shouldnt test a car sub on a home stereo.

reason being, most hifi's run at 8ohms and car subs run 4ohms or less (or more, depends if there dual coiled or not etc). And i doubt your hifi will beable to handle a 4ohm load, so i wouldnt bother risking damage to either the sub or hifi.

If you want one for your hifi then get an active jobby and just make sure you have a set of phono outs (tape outs will do) :)
