Anyone have any experience with the little 5" Focal subs?

Thinking about getting a couple to take some of the strain of my front stage. Don't have any subs now.

Got a lot of money to burn, eh? Biggest problem with those is they simply can't move enough air to have any kind of output at lower freqs.

As an actual sub, no, I've never considered them. But I've looked at some of the little 6 inch subs for use as a front midbass driver and wondered how they'd do for bringing good bass to the front, maybe getting 100-150 watts and running from 60 or 65 HZ to 120-150. They may get you a little lower than you are right now if you run a couple but still won't be like putting in a sub.
