8" Comp Woofers in Doors?

Hmm Ill look into those. I really don' know how much these ZR800 are going to cost they just had them at CES. So pricing should be coming soon. But if they are anything close to the cost of a pair of normal ZR speakers they aren't going to be cheap and that's for sure. Thank God for Ebay. lol

haha yeah I think when I priced the zr comp's thay were like 900 dollars, but still would've been worth it.

Thus why I am going with the C5-650's they share most of the same build components as the ZR series and half the retail price. You can pickup a pair on crutchfield with warranty for $450..Ebay even cheaper. Having the 8s in the doors will be nice running everything off of the 450/4v2 and being able to control the bass off of the sub level on the head unit I am really looking forward to.

Just for my own morbid curiosity, how are you going to get those to stage center for SQ? I've considered going larger myself, but you know, I just don't think I would be able to keep the staging right.

8's won't be as directional as a smaller speaker, so the tweets will move it up some. I know mine moved up a bit when I went from the 5.25s to the 6.5s (now about the steering wheel height instead of sounding like the pedals are singing)

If you are worried about moving staging up more, just put the tweets below the midrange and kick them out at an angle a lil bit. Or just wire a center channel on the dash in parrallel with the front components. That would bring staging up quite a bit.

I might also add another tweeter to the one in the kick. Either in the stock location or maybe where this guy mounted it. (Compliments of JL's site)
