I've been hearing people using the speakers from say Peavey, that are 8-ohm 350w, 98db sensitivity, as a replacement for car audio subwoofers. The main reason for doing this it seems is the high ohm and sensitivity, and it seems to be much cheaper. I believe another statement was that you need to get an instrument power amp, instead of a car audio amplifier, so you can get the most power to the 8-ohms. If someone can enlighten me on how all this works out, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thank you!

Use a 2-channel car amp bridged. That is 4 Ohms for one woofer and 2 Ohms for two.
But those speakers probably won't sound very good without massive power. They are designed very stiff because of the high transients of musical instruments.

You could get a 120v ac converter to run your home stereo system on 12 v dc in your car too, but what is the point. Most all car audio systems have been designed for 4 ohm speakers for years now. To use 8 or 16 ohm speakers is feasible, but seldom makes any practical sense. It will require twice the audio power from a 4 ohm system to drive an 8 ohm speaker to the same volume level. You can get 98db poly-prope coned 4 ohm speakers today all over the place. We sell them (only 50 watt per channel, I'll admit) for motorcycle use that even have lifetime warranties.

no. what your looking for is subwoofers.....these are the speakers you hear in peoples car that shake the trunk.(deep bass) mid range is just like it sounds you will hear a little bit of bass but it definitely is not going to shake your whole car or anything..... and last but not least the tweeters are completely opposite of subwoofers that produce bass.....the tweeters produce the high frequencies instead of the low bass frequencies.
