That is not 100 percent correct.
First of all, the housing is designed to hold a speaker, and is designed ina certain way to make the speaker sound good. Changing the housing by installing the speakers in the door, where there is no speace behind the speaker, will change how the speaker sounds. Additionally, what might sound good and lous in your quiet house (well, there is no road or engine noise) may not be able to overcome the inherent noise of your car. Also, the speakers in your house may not be as resistant to RFI as speakers made for the high RFI environment of your car. And of course, the position of speakers in relation to your head has a dramatic impact on the sound quality. In your home, you can place the speakers almost anywhere, to achieve the perfect setup. In a car, the speaker location is less then ideal. Car speakers take this into account, while your PC speakers do not.
Does this mean that THERE IS NO WAY IT WILL WORK IN YOUR CAR, nope. Is it likely it will work in your car, nope.
Try it, and let us know.
