Can I connect a 600w car subwoofer directly to a 800w home amplifier without any other thing?
If cannot what should I use?
I also want to know what is the difference between car subwoofer and home subwoofer.

They are the same. A thing that may produce boom boom boom sounds.
It's not a good idea to use 800W ampli into a 600W load, one of them or both may be damaged by overloading.

A car subwoofer like this; yes.

Most likely, your subwoofer won't have an internal crossover (although it might), so unless your home amplifier has a built in crossover, it will produce midrange sounds as well.
The difference is often a lower impedance, 2 or 4 ohms vs the more common 8 ohm impedance used in home stereos. This can have an effect on the amplifier used, where lower impedance means more strain on the amp. (Also, your amplifier has a impedance dependent watt rating; it produces 800W under a specific set of conditions, ie. 800W (maximum) if the connected load is 8 ohms (nominal). Lower impedance, more watts (and more strain). Higher impedance, less watts - and less strain.
Also, the car cabin itself boosts lower frequencies a lot more than a living room, so the box volume (and the resulting bass reproduction) will be less optimal for home use.

You can use any car subwoofer at home if you use a 12v sub crossover between amp and sub and power it with a 12v wallwart. You used to be able to get simple 12v crossover for about £10. Not really "hifi" but it works and can be fun.
