My question would be what other locations do you have up front? If you can fit them the morel 3-way set sound amazing. A bit of coin though. I think my old shop is clearing them out. I can check for you if you want. Or the hertz hsk 163 3-way set like I have have a 6 that has huge mid bass output. Better than most 8's I think.

I have ti 6.5s, when i wenttotake my newA3front door oanels off to pit thise in, I was shocked to see they put a 8" mid driver up front, so i may consider a motel 8", only 2.5 deep, theres another location i can put a 3.5" or 4" in

No, not SKAR.
I am considering the Audison AP8 for my RX8 right now.

Hey Denim, for 40 bux, why not? They sound pretty good, id like to get the morels, but they only make them in 8 ohm

I second the Silver Flutes. I have 8" Flutes in the front of my Corvette. You can get them from Madisound. Easily found with a quick Google search.
