I am running a 3 way front in my 07 HHR. Mids/tweets in the pillars and midbasses in the doors. I am looking at using 8" midbasses in the doors. I will be modifying my door cards to fit these and the door itself has no issues or restrictions behind this area. The window cannot even be seen unless you are the the speakers level looking up.
The HU is a Pioneer 80prs and I will be running a Zapco DC350.2 to the doors so 100w @ 4ohms per speaker. Not sure what it does at 8 ohms but should be a tad over 50w. System is SQ but I do like to feel the music, and I want the speakers to do it easily hence the want to use 8's in the doors. Some 6.5's can do this and not really flinch but most cannot. If you have a 6.5" suggestion that you think can contend with most 8's then please throw them in here.
Cost is around $300 for the pair new or used. Door's will be sealed and deadened. Looking to use them between 60ish +/- and 250ish-500 tops with up to 24db slope. Biggest desired feature is midbass output.
