Bear in mind that most car stereos are designed to drive 4-ohm car

you may want to use the line-out function if it has one into your home

A solid state amp won't come to any harm driving a higher impedance
speaker than the minimum recommended. You'll just get less power. Bridged
output car amps ain't at the leading edge of Hi-Fi though, so even a
budget home one will probably sound better.
