Any recomendations? This is going in a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII. The stock hole is 5x7 though I could cut it out to make room for a 6x9. Any recomendations for rear fill?

A real world 150 watts? I'm thinking they don't exist. That's a TON of power for a small speaker like that to have to handle. I can't tell you the last time I saw a 5X7 built well enough to handle over about 50 real watts, MAYBE 75. 150? I have to believe they don't exist.
Now, for a BS rating, look to Audiobahn, Boss, Lightning Audio... Those can handle THOUSANDS of watts!  ------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

why do you want 150w speakers?
Memphis makes a great speaker on the cheap for like $100. Check out the power reference series coaxial. It has great bang for the buck

Yeah, I was think audiobahn or maybe Pyle, but I want some sound quality here! I am gonna be using the Alpine PDX 150.4 and don't wanna have something that can't handle that power. Should I cut the hole out a bit and see if I can get a 6x9 in there? Thanks for the replies

As an owner of three PDX amplifiers, they will eat for LUNCH any 5X7 that I can think of...
I'd see what you can do about the 6X9 option.

JL XRs with the low pass set at 100hz. Maybe.

We were joking about audiobahn and pyle being able to handle 'more power'.
What are you using in the front stage?

If you have an extra 900 bucks to throw at your rear fill, the polk SR series speakers claim 125 rms. They seem to be 5.25 componant speakers that have a wide variety of mounting options, including slapped to a 5x7 plate in either coaxial or separate configurations.

I got an idea....why not just not have any rear speakers? I don't have any and people are always amazed that I'm not running any. The thing is, I don't have time alignment or any sort of EQ since I don't have a processor hooked up yet and my front stage consists of the Honda factory speakers. If you were to get any sort of rear fill for whatever reason, 50w should be plenty. To be honest, 50w for a front stage is plenty as long as you choose the proper drivers and know how to use an EQ.
