I looked everywhere, both in car audio and home audio sites/companies and have found what i believe to be the best set of 8\'s for the buck the will ACTUALLY fit with no modification. They are home theater speakers, so they are very efficient (50watts max rms, sensitivity 84dB @ 33hz) and can reach high enough to do well in a 2 OR 3 way setup. And its 4 ohm, which is a bit harder to find in home theater speakers. I went ahead and found what i think to be a good tweeter match too. I would put a HPF on the tweeter at around 4.5-5k if the included crossover gives too strong of a midrange.

FYI, I am not sure if they are made anymore but I have a set of 8" 3-way Pioneer speakers in my doors and they fit just fine. I had to widen the plastic holder a bit but all the holes lined up for mounting. They sound great and it sounds like I have subs in the doors (need better sound deadening though). If anyone wants, I will try to hunt down the model number for you. Oh, and they came direct from England via e-bay.
