You could try modeling them in a program like WinISD. Car woofs rely heavily on cabin gain. The result is when you put them in a larger area (room) they sound pretty weak. If you're going to listen in close proximity, like a computer sub, it would probably be ok. Inexpensive amps are available from various sources. You could check ApexJr, MCM Electronics or Parts Express.
