Bazooka Bass Tubes from CRUTCHFIELD.com cheap!
Catolog shows 8 inch to 10 inch sizes. Prices are $169, $199, $229, $249 and $299.
Go to crutchfield.com and search for Bazooka or woofer. This is less than the dealer wants and you can install it anywhere that it fits. I would hang this from the roof before I gave up valuable floor space. And don't come crying to me when you are 45 and need a hearing aid.

You Get What You Pay For.
I know someone who got a 29.99 DVD player from walmart. It plays DVDs like it cost 29 dollars. My bf has an APEX tv that was ridiculously cheap. It looks, feels, sounds like a ridiculously cheap TV.
I have a ridiculously cheap ca... oh wait.

You get what you pay for?
the fact is, you don’t get what you pay for. not always. Its a problematic statement, especially with the overuse of the term "90% install, 10% equipment." Its a poor statement as well, but it really does apply to this situation.
lets compare. You just purchased DLS 3" wide range speakers which you’ve installed into your a pillars. I just purchased JL VR coaxials which I just put into my doors. our cars are otherwise identical in every other way.
you bought high end 3's and paid twice as much as I did for my entry level coaxials. who got better sound?
well, if we start getting random members to sit in our cars, the very VERY first thing they will notice is the lack of low frequency extension in your car. assuming we don’t have subwoofers, or even if we do, bass guitar will simply be more impressive in my car than yours. That alone will get me more votes for my car than you.
next thing to notice will be the top end. You will probably have some problems with your top octave. my VR tweeters wont have too many problems at least getting parts of the top octave. they might say I have brighter highs or something, or have to be told, but I will probably still get more votes than your car, though it will be closer.
the final problem will be actual location. this will require members who understand a thing or two about sound stage. when they sit in our cars, the first thing they will notice is my car has an image. center is within reasonable location, at a decent height. distribution will be kind of off, but again, we aren’t arguing perfection at this point, merely which "sounds better." When we sit in your car, we will notice that we hear whichever speaker is closer to us (driver OR passenger) and it will be so overpowering that it will sound louder than the other side, and phase will make some voices like center sound like there are two. I'm hearing double!
when it came down to money, You spent about twice as much on your soundstage than I did. yet my car outperforms yours in every way, shape, and form.
it becomes a tricky situation when we take into account that most members here aren’t going to be comparing installs, and that they will just be thinking about what door speaker will sound best. in the door. period. But, even here, its not quite so concrete as more money is better! those kodas at $80 each will yield much better off axis performance and higher low frequency extension than, say, digital designs midranges. practicality also enters into the setup, as those same DD speakers are over 3 inches deep!
and that even tang band speakers wont easily fit into the doors, despite having neodymium magnets.
Finally, threes always the ebay/forum phenomenon. say I stumble on a gentleman who happens to be selling his scanspeak revelator's for $200 the pair, he was just feeling REALLY nice. guess who's car is going to absolutely thrash any other in here who is also running $200 worth of midrange?
so, I don’t really think that you do get what you pay for.
