home speakers in car...help

the home versions of the morel and focal line, speaking of the stuff in Parts Express, is all 8 ohm. I was wondering how some of these speakers will do in the auto environment, I have 4x100 for the tweets and the woofers, so I assume if I bridge the channels, and don't biamp, I could still keep 100 watts going to each speaker. Is this correct.
Could I double the speakers, IE buy two midbass driver for each door and then run them parallel? any disadvantage to this? Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter.

ps I'd be making f/g enclosures for the midbass drivers, so they would not be at all exposed to the elements.

lastly, does anyone have any recommendations from those two lines (morel and focal), either a whole three way setup, or just a real nice midbass driver to augment my polk momos (5.25)
thanks

many people build diy component sets, but you still need to build a passive crossover network for the set, running them in parallel will give you the 4ohm load, but the amp is now bridged and will be giving out about 200-300 watts (based on your amp of course) which is fine for you midbass, but not for your tweet.

what if I ran the comp set I have, the polk MOMOs only single input, and used the rear channel to run the midbass, I could get 100 watts to every speaker that way, correct? and I would only nee a very basic bass blocker for the midbass, just to keep out the sub 90 level.
the setup would be, midbass, with bass blocker and lowpassed at around 300,
components highpassed at 300 of the amp,
sound workable?

oh, I would still be running the two midbass in each door in parallel, to keep everything 4 ohm.

that should work fine, have fun tuning...thats is a lot of speakers to work with to get it to sound right. but it IS capable of sounding nice.

Home speakers may not be built to endure the weather changes that the car goes through, even though you are in Florida. You should check with Morel or Focal and see if they would recommend it.

I think that's probobly a good idea, I know the temperature will not be an issue, I'm only concerned about the humidity(definately a moist climate). my car is pretty well sealed. oh well, I guess I should look more into the kodas, they're 4 ohms and intended for auto use. only problem is the mounting depth, they are a little deep for my doors, at least for my intended design, such is this industry/hobby, all about adaptation.
