is this a stupid idea

MS1000 Plexi advice!

I would say yes there is an amp. My mustang has 8" dvc subs in the doors run off factory amps. Mine are 1.2 ohm for each coil so measure your coil b4 you buy.

Re: What's your take?

check out the zx450 75w x4 and a pretty small footprint and tons of headroom. i have never used HAT speakers but the m25s pack a punch for there size.

Man I could not see all those issues in the phone looking at it. The broken fins is what will really hurt the the value as they can't be fixed.

At least 700 is the plexiglas cracked? The end plates don't look bad. Any nicks in the powder coat on the sink?

Your imaging won't be great with the tweet on-axis so close to your ear on the drivers side, and off-axis on the passenger side. I'd agree with using dash, A-pillar or even kickpanel locations.
