Why though? What do you expect such a unit to add to your sound?

"how would these sound inside a car, along the back shelf? practical?"
That was your question, Wiseguy. I wasted more time on this than you did.

i want to replace my kove coaxials essentially

Replacing a coaxial with a full-range is, well, not likely to sound better than the coaxial. Besides, a coax IS a full-range speaker. Also, depending on what you mean by "take a lot of punnishment" I doubt very much you'll find a speaker made for home use that will take the punishment of a car audio speaker. Certainly not ones with as high power ratings as are common in car audio.

The Extremis was mentioned. While this speaker is really remarkable and has a greatly extended frequency response over a standard 6.5" midrange, it is not really a full-range speaker and would need a tweeter for the top end. The CSS WR125 4.5" is a full-range with better upper frequency response (although not the same kind of low end.) Also, there are a couple of Tang-Band and Hi-Vi full ranges that are pretty remarkable.

None of these by themself is a drop-in replacement for a coaxial, however.

imaging is not a main concern for me, i want something that is efficient at 8 ohms

OK, if imaging is not a concern, what is? Loudness? Again, car-audio dedicated drivers are probably a better bet.

If you are really serious about playing with full-range speakers, Fostex makes probably the best-sounding line I have ever heard. Note the power handling - and the high efficiency numbers - and choose your amp appropriately.
