The REM is for a remote turn on, the B+ and GND are hot and ground for a 13.8 volt DC supply.
A 20 amp 13.8 Volt DC supply is about $100 and will run a 150 watt RMS system just fine.
What you're looking for will be about 60 amps and cost you some serious $$$. Close to $300.

Active car subwoofers are designed to run on 12 volts DC. In order to use it at home, you will need a converter that will change 120 volt AC house current to 12 volts DC. You should be able to find such a converter at a place like Radio Shack. Or you could go to a store where they do car audio installation and see if they could help you out.

It s not whether or not you can, it is that you will get lousy results, plus need to go through the trouble of powering the car amplifier.

YOU CANT !!!!!!!!
a home stereo receiver works different than a car stereo unless you are using a car stereo at home
if you are able to hook it up and not break anything (receiver or amp) i bet it will sound like s h i t

Unless you park your car in your house for 12volt power.
