Pioneer does make some MP3 speakers. They offer a great variety of different types of MP3 speakers that can be used in your car or in the comfort of your own home.
if they could they would be called car speakers not computer
uh huh
Bose car speakers are actually surprisingly good, and much better than their home surround sound speakers.
Car stereos use 12V which is lower than the 30V used in home stereos. Power = voltage^2/Resistance. To get the same power with lower voltage the speaker resistance is lower. Most home speakers are now 4 Ohms and car speakers are now 2 Ohms.
Two of the major companies which make car speakers are Bose and Bang and Olufsen. They are a good place to start as they also make high quality speakers for the home.
Technically, yes. Any speaker can be hooked up to a car amp. Be careful though, car speakers aren't rated for that kind of power normally.
Home AV equipment is designed for 110vAC. A car runs on 12vDC. That disparity is your primary concern. After that home AV, at least good quality ones, are much larger than their car cousins. However, it is entirely feasible. But why would you want to?

While it is possible it is not wise. There eill be a mismatch of everything from the power to the load and this will ultimately damage the equipment. Most car speakers are meant to run on a different impedence that home speakers.
I am also looking for a better answer to this question. I have always known that almost all car speakers were 4 ohms, unless talking about subwoofers and/or dual coiled speakers, and that home speakers were 8 ohms. And until recently have thought this to be true. Until I looked on the back of my dads pair of Dynaudio speakers and saw that the impedence was 4 ohms. Now I am completely confused. Initially I thought it was due to the Voltage and Current that Car audio lacks and Home Audio has plenty of and then I see this!!! LOL
Bose speakers designed for home theater / home stereo applications can be powered by any stereo or surround receiver with sufficient power output for the ratings of the speakers. Bose speakers for car stereo applications must be powered by Bose amplifiers, since they have a special super-low impedence design which is not used by other manufacturers. Bose speakers for MP3 players have their own amplifier built into the speakers.
