No you can`t, it`s bad enough listening to in your car.

Answer 2

Yes, it can be done. You can get a mounting bracket designed to mount a standard DIN-sized stereo under a shelf in the car (usually used for additional units, e.g. tachometers in LCVs that tow), which can also be used to fit it under a kitchen cupboard or similar.
You will need a suitable transformer/rectifier power supply to convert your mains electric supply to 12v DC.

One of my mum's friends has had a car stereo in her kitchen for years (her husband used to own a car parts shop).
