It is possible. However there are several things that would need to be done to make it work right.
If you are just talking about just the subwoofer, then you would need to make sure you have an amplifier that will support the subwoofer you have or use the logitech one that comes with. However if you use the amplifier that is supplied, you would need a power source to power that amp. IE: cigarette lighter or some sort of 12 volt converter. If you plan to use an aftermarket amp, then you would need to make sure the subwoofer is able to handle the power of the amp etc.
Most likely the subwoofer is made a bit differently as far as power handling and voice coil configuration compared to car audio subwoofers. So you may not be able to hook it up properly and could cause damage to the subwoofer. Also realize that you may need to strip the wires on the subwoofer to patch it into an amp or change the wiring (as the cabling is probably not good enough for the amplifier to send a clean signal).
If you are talking about the whole logitech set, then you’d probably be able to get some 12 volt converter to power the logitech speakers by themselves. The issue you would have then is to mount the speakers and subs so they don’t go flying everywhere.
Do realize these speakers are not made for car use. The wiring is cheap and may not have appropriate shielding and such. Which could give you different kinds of noises. Engine noise or static etc.
