JL makes some 6" subs that could probably do what you are asking. Just putting my marshmellows over the fire.

If I was to close my eyes I could imagine the band in front of me... or they should sound the same as a decent set of house speakers. Decent sounding is based on each person's preferences.

Caps are basically battery with a MUCH, MUCH faster charge and drain time (for car stereo purposed, instantaneous). They also offer some filtering properties, but that's not a big deal. You can discharge a cap the same way you discharge a battery - by putting some sort of resistance across the...

Keep in mind that a Radio Shack ohm-meter will show you the DC impedance, not the AC impedance (music power is AC, just not at the typical 60 Hz). They should be close, but on many spec sheets they can be off by 1-2 ohm from each other.

The resistance (ohms) and the power is based in simple electrical engineering theory. Basically, as you decrease the impedance/resistance (going from 4ohms to 2 ohms), you *theoretically* double the power (think of going from a regular garden hose to one twice as big). Your amp puts out twice...
