I have to agree with Shadorne...
When I browsed your post...the answer screamed Legacy...but then you mentioned the weight limit. I know that small speakers can do some porting magic and produce some decent bass...but (In my opinion/experience)...it's really hard to get around the need to move a lot of air/damping factor for smooth (real sounding) tight bass.
Although I have heard other speakers that do much better than Legacy's (classic, sig3, 20/20) in other areas (e.g. coherence/disappearing), etc. I have never (in that price range!) heard better, more real, bass.
What also made me think of Legacy's are that they are fairly easy to drive (a strong 30w would probably work...but they really sing with more power)
Again, Just my Opinion/Experience
