Can I make a center channel with component car speakers? (1 Viewer)

I have these speakers left over from selling my car and was wondering if they would be good enough quality to make into a decent center channel or is it just a waste of time.

Might not sound the best... might as well try it if youre good at making boxes.... At the least youre out what? $10 and some time.... least then you know...

Not going to sound good. You are not likely going to match your mains

Im starting to think its not worth my time. If there not going to sound good or match then its not worth it.

I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss your idea. I think you may be surprised on the sound you could get. If they are 4ohms, I'd try using both of them wired in series for a 8 ohm final. If you're thinking of using the center channel in 5.1 surround sound music like SACD, DVD-A etc. then this may not be an option. Five equivalent speakers would be more appropriate.
just a thought

The center and mains HAVE to match. Thats an accepted match.
