what would be the best way to hook them up to play with the bass in my car?

This is an old question, but I stumbled across it, and I figured I would answer it for you. The easiest way to get it to 'play' with you bass it to get another controller that detects sound and gives a current based off of that. Other than that, you could try to come up with a circuit that detects the power being sent to your subwoofer, or speakers, and matches the intensity in voltage supplied to the lights. Unfortunately, you can't just wire them directly in- line with the speaker because of two things 1 being that it will degrade the sound quality to the speaker, and 2 being that the voltage supplied to move the speaker is much different than the voltage needed to power the LED's. TL;DR: Get another controller that does it for you. Source: Installing lot's of these in various projects, Installing my own sound system, and being an Electrical Engineer in training.

I'd look at the Fender Rumble Bass Amps, they are made for bass and there are several different sizes and price ranges to choose from.

Screw them to the bottom of your couch, and connect them to an amplifier then connect your amp and sub to your reciever through the same port

I believe they are the most efficient car speakers made. I run mine without an amp. Why don't you try this first? You can always add an amp later.

I plug mine into a mixer or an amplifier and the bass has plenty punch to it. I will have to check it with just headphones.

If you have a tape player in your car then just use a simple tape adapter, like the kind you would use for a cd player. I get great sound with mine!

Yes, that's exactly what I use them for... BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CAR PLAYER WILL PLAY CD-RW DISKS. You may want to test it with one before you buy a stack.

You could run them off a stock head unit, but they wouldn't be playing at their full potential. I would run them off an amplifier that was close to their RMS wattage of 100w.They sound so much cleaner and crisp with an amplifier.

if your car support mp3 direct playback through USB, you can use USB, otherwise, use the line-out of the device connected directly through your car's AUX will give you better sound quality.

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

These are the speakers that will allow you to hear the music over the bass. They are not bad speakers. They will not be what gives the bass though. They sound good in my car alone but if you want bass you need to get a subwoofer as well.

If your head unit has a pre amp it should be fine, the bass on these units are good .

I dont use it for the bass. You would probably blow it up. Look into a cube amp of sorts it will be more money but what you need.

Yes, hook it up using either Aux or a line input. Play everything through it.

With a good head unit. I got a alpine. These are already loud. Personally I would crank up the volume after tuning the treble and bass. Then go from there.

I suppose you could use the passive crossover The idea is that these have sufficient power to drive them and most amps don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output so you are robbing power from elsewhere to drive them you can connect them in parallel or direct to adjust the impedance as you can do with a normal sub I drive mine with a high pass filtered 4 channel amp I have one under each seat in the car I also made a piece of plywood quarter inch thick to mount them to the board is silicone'd and screwed to the bases of the seats to stop rattles works really well

if he wants bass to shake his car he needs to get a subwoofer . but these speakers would sound good with a subwoofer yes.
