If there is a way to get 8" drivers to fit ni the front doors I will do it. Anybody that has been around here for awhile knows that I am all SQ when it comes to my car stereo. If I can get an 8 with a high efficiency rating to match the Bohlender Greabner ribbons I will be able to balance out my front end with less power. I also would like to reach as low in the frequncu range as I can, and it's easier to find a driver that can do it in an 8" size as opposed to a 6.5" size. Right now I have some 6.5" Alpine SPRs playing pretend midbass and it's not nearly what I'm looking for but it will have to do for now.
In the contour 8" speakers will fit by simply cutting out the speaker bracket and welding in a new ring, but in the Focus the window motor is too far forward and the door edge is closer. I also have a bit less clearance before I hit the window as well so I'm scrood.
I'm starting to consider maybe butchering and refinishing the door panel itself... where's me jigsaw?
