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!

Yeah it rattles a little. I need to drop the spare tire well eventually with a cutter and weld in a 1/2" thick wall between the two subs so each one has it's own chamber and then also weld the spare tire well back on really well to make it not rattle anymore. After that the subs will sound even better. And yes, they hit very hard. I work at Best Buy so I get to listen to stuff all of the time, and I heard these and was amazed for the price at how nice they sounded. They are the 10's though. I will eventually get two Alpine Type E 10" but for now these sound good for the price.
