A good car stereo is pretty much the same in quality as a good integrated receiver.
The part that is different is the speakers. A car stereo speaker is generally designed either to be used in a trunk - in which case it needs a really large box - or it is designed to be used in a door - in which case it needs a really small box.
On top of that, the environment of a car makes the sound field be dominated by reflections, so phase relationships are all over the place. As a result, a car speaker doesn't really need attention to things like the position of the forward lobe, because that is almost meaningless in a car stereo installation.
Long story short - I would probably not use car speakers in a house.
