You probably don't want to do this, as it is a good way to blow a crossover 
capacitor in your speaker. They weren't meant for musical instruments to 
play through directly.

You would probably need a preamp to do it, though, as I don't think most 
modern stereos have the kinds of inputs needed for a microphone.
