I just replaced a really old crustaphonic speaker in my awesome 80's Crate CR-112 with an old Rockford Fosgate Punch X that I got off the curb a few years ago and it KILLS!!! I put it in the closet with some Samson Drum Mics through the Huger and the Come Again and I'm on a Lava Cloud of Sludge Doomgaze Bliss...
What's Yall's take on puttin Car Audio or Consumer Electronic Audio Speakers in Amps for the shits and giggles???

If it works, if the impredance match/mismatch is within safe to you levels, and sounds good...go for it.
I like JBL and JBL-copy type guitar speakers which are edging towards hi-fi anyway.

Yes sir... I was lucky that they were both 12" and 8 ohm... It has no high end and really loves the Huger, Pharaoh, Algal, Chalice and Frazz... The gigantic voice coil and vinylness sounds really good at low volume...
I live behind a Goodwill so it's easy to experiment...

i reckon it'd be more likely to work with car audio because those woofers are made to handle insane wattages. if it hasn't already expired in a wisp of acrid grey smoke it'll probably go for awhile
