Question
cam i combert a Visonik car amp in to my house amp and hook up my computer to it?
Yes, but it is not simple and it is not recommended. You need special power supplies, noise suppressors and lots of technical know how. The power supply is very expensive to run car amps. Most people who do this kind of thing bring a car battery in and a charger; it gets real messy. Connecting to the computer is problematic due to the grounding schemes, but if you know what you are doing it can be done.
In 90% of the cases that I know of the consumer has eventually give up and purchased a conventional home amp system.
