Sure. You need a regulated 12 volt DC power supply that provides as much current as the stereo draws. You can connect to any speaker that has an impedance that is specified by the stereo, normally 4 - 8 ohms.

Kudos to "dmb" for his answer - although he should have stopped after his first line.
I have this exact setup in my bedroom audio system: a 12 volt power supply, a very nice Pioneer CD player/radio and a mini remote control. It works great.
A last note - since everyone before me hit the key element - just buy a 12 volt power supply (this supply plugs into your wall outlet and outputs 12 volts) - after you buy the supply, remember this about speaker impedence: amplifiers (the electronics that give volume to the sound coming out of the speakers) LIKE impedence. The higher the impedence, the happier the amplifier. (Happy = stable, less likely to blow up.) So, you CAN use a car amplifier (designed to run at 4 ohms) with home in wall speakers (typically 8 ohms). Look for a car stereo with a "subwoofer" out, and you can actually have a subwoofer too!
Good luck.
... and what the hell was that guy trying to say, anyway?

NO, you can not convert car stereo to be used in the home.
Actually no need to convert the car stereo, just convert your house socket (AC voltage) to 12 volts DC (high wattage) before you can use your car stereo in your home..

Of course you can! Open your front door - walk out - Grab a 6 pack or two - pop the top - have a few beers - look at the house - picture it with a new window - have a few more beers - get in your car - have a few more beers - Rev your engine - pop your car in drive - and hit the gas!
Presto! In Home Stereo System and a brand new Picture Window too! The complete "Redneck Remodeling Extreme Makeover"

Yes., using a voltage regulator that wil upconvert the stereos's 24-DC voltage to 110-AC 60-Hz. household. Speakers should work fine afte the convertion.

What the hell are you talking about?
For a start, a car's radio and audio system is designed to work from 12-14V.
Why would you want to convert the "stereos's" d.c. to anything.
The system requires 12-14Vdc. What has 110Vac got to do with it?
If you don't know what you are talking about (and you have proved that you don't) keep your mouth shut.

yes, just get a car battery or a 12Vdc power supply
