 JH> em... 
 
They are expensive, but you wouldn't need 4 of them. 
 
 JH> My mind is still set on the PPI Sedona amps... I was gonna get 4
 JH> 4-channel amps... bridge 2 of em and run the other 2 in 4 chnl mode
 JH> for my interior mids & tweetz.  
 
I shy away from bridging, since it does undesirable things to the 
ability of the amp to control the drivers, just like running into
low impedences does.

 JH> say 40Hz, to like 16Hz.  
 
Yes, but there is another problem with bass in small spaces; the 
long wavelengths don't have a chance to develop, and while this may
sound louder, it doesn't sound "right". 
 
 JH> (Read article in CarAudio mag about that

 JH> So, it can be done, but it's a question of what do you wanna pay?!
That's exactly what the question is! Like they say.. "speed is only
a matter of money", so too, is audio! Take care.
