PA woofers in a car

in the search of better louder sound up front i thought of installing a pair of 8" PA woofers in the front doors. my question is has anyone tried this or knows how would it sound.

I think what you are talking about by "pa" is public address speakers which are usually what people use in alot of  soundstage music reproduction (concert) speakers. Usually these speakers are paper surround with little excursion which does limit the low end capability slightly,but being an 8" your not trying to put out much bass anyway.Best advice i can give you is to try them and see if they are to your liking.

Well, if he does mean public address speakers, then my advice is to not use them in a car.  Get a set of 8" car audio woofers.  Or even 6.5".  "PA" as in public address speakers are intended for long-throw applications and a car the installation is closer to near-field.  Which means it will sound like crap.

I was hoping that by "PA" he meant Planet Audio, and then my response would be GO FOR IT!  :)
