Good 8" speakers for doors, After much debate, I have found a great set of 8's for doors Options

[DGolden32]

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.

Just put a set of these tweeters on the same wires and be done with it

magnet will fit, but did you read this on the highlights ?

The driver's parameters are optimized for sealed box speaker applications.




I've had a set of these for over 2 years now, love their sound, and yes it's a midbass, but if tune properly yields great notes, and honestly for a door application it doesn't get any better than that. before this one I had a slightly more powerfull woofer made by kicker and which was also optimized for sealed box applications, the rattle was unbareable, it sounded awful mainly because the door was falling apart with every song, even with the power level turn to the lowest the woofer was still too agressive for a door application.

they fit nicely, just need a mild trimming of the plastic bracket, no mod require for the door frame.
