Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock

It seems that from all the discussions and reveiws, I have read that 99% of the speakers that are reveiwed are done with Classical, opera, jazz or other like music. My question is; Do any of the high end speaker manufacturers make audiophile speakers that are designed for the Rap, Hip-hop, hard rock, loud volume listener???

For RAP: Probably those wedge-shaped back-seat or trunk car speaker enclosures with two of those fat-surround 12-inch woofers crossed over to some piezio-electric horns. Should provide plenty of one-note bass centered around 85-100 hz. and lots of spitty highs.
Or those cheap "D-J" speakers with a couple of stacked 12 or 15 inch woofers with a row of 4 or more piezio-electric horn tweeters on top. That's all you need, right?
If however you are talking ROCK, go with JBL L-100, L-150, L-200, L-300, L-112 etc. from the 70's. Buy them on ebay. Restore the walnut veneer, replace the connectors and internal wiring, recone the woofers. then put on some Deep Purple and let 'er rip.

Hey Bigjoe,
That's too funny -- the Pimp Daddy! How about if those 18" woofs somehow rotate, like "spinner" rims? Do a search on Ricky Smiley and "spinners". Put some of that "rope" lighting around the mounting bracket of the woofers.
