[QUOTE="hoss, post: 1079124, member: 549860"] as for going with the home theater idea of low power small speakers, car audio typically doesent work the same way. you have much more interference and background noise in car audio than in home. the road noise, moving air, engine noise, etc... causes a loss in percieved efficiency, home theater is able to use less power and still get good results because of the lack of this. also, the HU rated 27w rms is more likely closer to 8w rms... HU's dont really put out a whole lot of power. and im not gonna say that a 5.25 isnt going to have the ability to get low, but its kinda unlikely that it is going to be able to get real low. id agree with the suggested 8" and a small amplifier.
