I'll use this thread to ask the same thing the ownder of thread asked, but with some different specs!
1- 500 watts max
2- 5~6"
3- 4 ohms (minimum peaks of 2 ohms, despite I believe my amp can handle a little lower ohms)
4- Doesn't matter if it's loud or not
5- Good sound quality
Does a fullrange driver with those specs exist? Any advice will be very appreciated!

You can have a coax or a fullrange.

The Monacor SPH-60X doesn't "hit" 175W ! And it's a 5"
Hits less than a half, i.e. 30 W and 60 W rms
A protection grill might
be needed if it is to be brought around and outside
( cars ? cats? dogs 9
The audio nirvana 6.5" exhibits 94.2 dB/W/m which is 4.5 dB more than the Monacor, but look at the magnet...and the price

Power-handling in a drive unit is only the point at which either the VC fries or it rips apart. In general, you will struggle to put anything like that kind of power through a widebander, assuming you possess the remotest degree of mechanical sympathy / common sense, as it will be very obvious you have reached practical limits.
Not many of those about. Eminence have some; you'll need a supporting tweeter. Audio Nirvana have a couple.
8ohm is a nominal rating & a broad category. You will not find a driver with exactly 8ohm impedance (a couple of planar tweeters aside). They'll vary between about 6 - 8 ohms. 7-ish is typical.
If you've 175w on tap, it's going to be 'loud' anyway. You're not likely to find a 10in wideband drive unit that has low efficiency / sensitivity.
Unfortunately doesn't mean much, since what one person regards as 'good sound quality' isn't necessarily what somebody else does. We all look for different things.
Something like an Eminence coax (Beta CX) or a B102 + supporting tweeter would probably be about right.
Thank you very much for the detailed response. What kind of supporting tweeter would you recommend?
175 watt on batteries??????
You can have the highest efficient drivers but if you put it in a non-efficient cabinet then you've gained nothing.
So what frequencies do you want to have a "hit" with?
You may want to investigate the Karlson and its variants - they go loud - I had a pair of the "Dutch Karlson's" with Fane drivers in my parents pub and you could not run them full tilt, place would empty out.
