Can someone recommend me a mid-low range speaker for rear fill?

I'm trying to find a speaker that has good low frequency reproduction and can be powered by my Alpine head unit (25w rms/channel).
It's for my "other" car and I don't want a subwoofer in it. I don't mind not having boomy bass, I just want to be able to hear a bass drum hit and enjoy the lower half of the frequencies.
It seems every time I buy an aftermarket speaker that's NOT a subwoofer it has no descernable low range reproduction (anything below 250hz or so(?) ).
They will be going in a hatch and I will make custom enclosures for them (similar to truck boxes, I suppose).
Any suggestions?

I know Crutchfield isn't always correct in their info, but the fr. resp. specs come from the manufacturers.
These claim response to 48 Hz, and are a coax.
This component set gets to 53 Hz. I'm sure a set of those would do a kick drum justice, as I have heard them myself and they can get down.

I understand that the manufacturers rate their speakers capable down well below 250hz. I picked that number out of the blue because for *ALL* the speakers I've tried that were rated below 100hz, none of them had any real bass-i-ness to them. I highly doubt I'm going to hear a descernable difference between a 48hz rated speaker and a 60hz rated speakers when all I really hear from them are mids anyway.
I appreciate the feedback. After doing a bunch of reading I think I'm pretty much forced into using a subwoofer with a separate amp. I'm thinking a small 8" in a small box with a 100w d-class amp or so. Something I can put together complete for <$150. Sound reasonable?
