as long as you can convert the power from your house electric plug to the amp you can hook them up. In the winter my buddy has his 2 Pyle 15's from his boat in his computer room. They sound pretty decent.

for the price of a good converter that will supply enough current, you could go and buy a 250w class a/b amp from parts express....and prob still have more cash in hand.

You can build one yourself with simple parts and a transformer. Probably about $15.
