I have a set of mtx 8's in perfect condition. they hit pretty damn well even with low wattage. so my queistion is i've seen 7's installed in door what about 8's ? i'd just add another mdf ring to my fron templates. any opinions or facts or anything ?

 

also if i put the 8"s up front my 6.75s will go to the rear hatch and the rear hatchs 5.25 two ways will end up somehow or another being put into the rear doors. any help with modilng into the rear doors? I REALLY DO NOT want them to be mounted to the outside of the panel that looks WAY tacky to me. thanx guys.

 

in a tC...it'd be close...not sure about the xB

 

With the rearranging of your speakers, I'd say no...it'll totally make your soundstage=butt

 

would it? hmmm what about trying to put the 8's in the rear doors?

 

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

You want to keep the mids up front though. 80 Hz and up you'd notice in the back...if you put all the mid speakers behind you, that'd just be weird. Putting the 8's in the back door, if they fit = good idea

 

hmm. any ide as to how to make them mount behind the panels? I dont want them mounted thru the panels. hmm.....

 

i tend to agree. ive also thought about 8's in the rear doors or under seat if they wont fit. but, i think ill have to get a component set also for the back.

 

I have 10's under my front seats as is but want to add more.

 

with 8's in the door i would suggest making an entire enclosure for it...
you would still also need to get some kind of mids and highs up front too, since I am pretty sure the 8's are subs and not a midbass ...

 

I am actually installing a couple of 8's in the rear doors... but yes, it is in an enclosed area... I will let you know how they sound..... (this should be done in a week or so)

 

make sure to keep us posted id like to see some pics , i had also thought about putting 8's in the rear doors but the magnets on mine are too big.

 

I hear you, that is why I chose a 8" that only measured 4" 3/4 total, but I will def post some pics once its done

 

as I promised... here are the pics..

 

wow, nice panels

 

where would someone come across some of them there panels? they are awsome

 

One would need just to ask... and we can build them for you....

 

you have a pm

 

Yes, awesome door panels but let's get back to the reason he posted to begin with, shall we? The install looks clean. What exactly did you have to modify to get a clean install? And do the panels cause any extra vibration or rattle when the 8's hit?

 

oh and dont forget how do they sound?
