I'm sellin some 8s if you're interested. :ph34r:

And based on the magnet size, you could always sink it a little farther into the door using the stock speaker hole for some extra mounting depth.

PM me with the details. I might be interested. :rolleyes:

Im so against using "subs" in front doors.

Never sounds correct.

what if you had .. like an 8", a 4" and 2 tweeters? and did something like a 360.2 to tune them all so each plays its best

no actual experience with this but I'm guessing you would have to have more speakers then that to make the 8" sub sound right. take steve's doors for example or even the caddy

that's what i thought. because with the larger cone the upper frequency response drops off quicker than the tweeter can pick up... so that's why i'd throw a 4" in there... just make sure all active crossovers .. and set up correct.. with an RTA it'd be a cakewalk

What Ray is getting at is that "SUBS" are not designed generally to be used in a true mid-bass application. There are 8's out there however that will work for the mid-bass range. You just have to know what you are looking at for your particular application for them to work out with all aspects of your install being taken into account on your front stage.

Let it be known, the 8's in my sig being used for a mid-bass application are far from ideal to most people so do not take them as a good example on this situation...

its all in the T\S... knowing how to read them is so valuable..

I have an 02' envoy and i am doing some fiberglass enclosures for some p2 8's that i am putting in the kick panels. If you dont mind cutting some carpet back it is a good spot for them plus they will be in a good sized sealed enclosure for good mid bass.

why dont ppl just make kick pods for the 8's and just use 6&1/2's in the doors and be done with it?

you could have more room in the kick and should sound better cause u aint gettin all kinda back waves off the other speakers resonateing threw the door and what knot and wont get the midbass you want, as tho if they was in the kicks they can be poundin away on a 150htz note and the doors playin the mid above and should sound better
