OK, you may see my signature and the components I have. I finally received my 8" Alpines so I'm ready to go right?? Wrong! OK, I figured it would be decently easy to find a nice spot to mount in these 5.25" MB Quarts but it's not. I am obviously replacing the stock tweeter with the MBQ one and then installing an 8" Alpine in the stock speaker spot (TY for the how-to BTW it helped wonders in just giving me a little better visual of what it should look like in the end)...BUT (there's always a BUT)...where do I mount this friggin 5.25" speaker? If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. My only front door idea is the small hole to the side of the stock speaker hole in the metal of the door. I could cut this and make this work, but do I really want to do that since the sound may be muffled by there being no grill in the door panel for it there? OR I could mount it right behind the front seats in the panel that the rear speakers are mounted in BUT make sure they are mounted as close to the front as possible. This option by far is the easiest and would look the best with the least ammount of effort, yet how will it sound as the speaker would kind of be down and behind the ear. Argh! Help please!

nice, does it rattle when you put up the volume? by the way...do those pioneer subs kick good? are they 10 or 12's? i picked up a 12' from walmart for 40 bucks but haven't tried it yet cause i need amp and box. let me know about the performance of it.
