Actually, there is not a whole lot you can do given your
criteria. Car subwoofers are designed to be driven at
4 Ohms (i.e. low impedance), whereas a home amp
or receiver is designed to drive 6 to 8-Ohm speakers.
It's not good for your home amp to drive your subs if
the aforementioned is the case. Even if your amp has
no problem with low-impedance speakers, usually an
amp will increase its power when the impedance goes
down and thus making the speakers (or in this case...
car subwoofers) louder for the same input level. The
best suggestion I have, given that your amp has little
or no problem driving your subs, find a used EQ to
balance the frequency response of the subs to blend
in with the main speakers. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT,
never combine speakers onto one speaker terminal.
This could cause damage to both speakers and amp.
Make sure each speaker (or sub) has its own speaker
terminal and that the Ohm rating of the amp matches
the Ohm impedance rating of the speaker it's driving.
