If your home system is like most, it is made for an 8 ohm load. You can wire your 4 ohm subs in series and hook them up to your receiver. The only other option that I think you have is to purchase a 12V converter and run your amp off of it.

Hi xiled83, I recommend using an Astron power supply or equivalent. ( https://www.astroncorp.com/linear.shtml ) I use an RS-70A at home to power a head unit, crossover, and 2 amplifiers. With this I can play any source from my home receiver thru this system in my garage.
