Does anyone know if it is possible to fit 8" Component Woofers in the door. Mounting Depth is 3.39"s I would obviously need a custom mounting baffle. Anyone? If you have pictures please share.

anything is possible, but the door panel will hit I believe (it's very close on my 6.5's)

Did you use the stock modified mounting system? Or a slice of MDF?

I started with modified stock, but had to go to mdf with the audax speakers I had (they are big and cast)

I am going to try to fit them in my doors. They should fit but it will be close... If they don't fit in the doors I can put some 6.5's in there and throw the 8s in the rear deck I suppose. Btw these are what I was planning: JL Audio

Those would sound sick in the rear deck though, they are designed for ifinite baffle. Just put a badazz set of 6.5" comps in the front and run them off a nice 4 channel. I did this kind of setup in a gto and it was awesome. Although if you listen to songs w/ really tight bass the i-baffle setup is not ideal, it doesn't sound bad but it aint great either.

What I am thinking is if they cannot fit in the doors for whatever reason I will throw them in the rear deck all though I really don't want too. Then put some Comp's in the stock locations in addition to the comps in the kick panels.

as long as you have a filler up front and not just those 8's you will be fine for sound. You could also do some 8" memphis m-sync components, they are a lil bit shallower than the z-series, but still great quality. Plus they are not just midbass drivers, they are full blown components. I had those in my silverado plus a set of 6.5" in the kicks and it sounded great (along with other stuff of course, haha).

Have you got anything in the car now, audio wise?

I was planning on going with some JL Audio C5-650's for the kicks. I am JL bias person idk why have always loved them.

Right now I have JL Audio 5.25s TRs they are coaxils pretty good but i'm looking to go higher. To power them I have a Alpine 4x70w V-Power Amp for the rears I have JL VR690s coaxil. JL Audio wiring and an Alpine CDA-9855 4v preouts. I HAD a JL audio 12W7 with 500/1 was too much for me. I am looking more for autophile SQ w/o the heavy bass. How much do the Memphis run?

JL is defenitely a good brand, no scratch that, great brand. So you have a very good reason to have a bias towards them. The 8" m-syncs retail for around 250 or so.
