Most car speakers are between 3-4 ohms.  Why would you want car speakers on a 
home stereo?  They'd sound ilke crap.  Anyway, most likely, your reciever 
will run a bit hotter, but you may fry it or blow its internal fuses... FWIW 
though, I have a set of 6 ohm speakers hooked up to my reciever that has a 
"Minimum 8 ohms" tag on it...
