These mostly cater to the home speaker builder, but most also sell 4 ohm drivers, and sometimes you can find a dual 8 ohm coil driver that will work. You can use 8 ohm no problems, but won't have full power.
I'm using some Audax 6.5" woofers in the rear, and they only cost $25 each from Zalytron. They have a good Xmax, treated cone and rubber surround, dual voice coils. Parts Express and Madisound also may be able to get these, they are the HT170G8 if I remember correctly. They only downside is that the cone is just treated paper, not poly, but they still seem to have held up well (now over five years old).
At retail, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any 6.5" mid/woofer for less than $150 pair. But then, it's not very often that I have seen mid/woofers sold separately anyhow, most places I have seen only sell the complete system. But I admit, I don't go into Circuit City or The Good Guys anymore.
I'm making the final connections on the new surround sound system in my car today. I'm still waiting for the DVD player to arrive for discrete DTS output, but the decoder also uses Circle Surround to generate a 5.1 output from stereo input. I'm down to one amp now, a six channel, instead of two previously. I decided I don't need the amount of bass that 300w rms for the subwoofer can provide...
Will report on the DTS when the DVD player gets here. Also ordered a 5" LCD screen yesterday.
