[QUOTE="Tachyon, post: 8784806, member: 684755"] Already got the 8" in hand, but yeah 6.5's can be made to work. I once did a system in a Porsche 944 with 6.5's. The guy wanted to upgrade the system without modifying the car or making it obvious it had a custom stereo. Did a pair of Kicker 6.5's in a sealed cabinet that was the shape of the rear cargo space floor and just an inch taller than the depth of the kickers. Put flush grills over them and covered them with matching carpet. You couldn't tell they were there. It only raised the floor a few inches. That speaker box had a cubby hole in it hiding a Linear Power amp driving them. Replaced the stock door/dash speakers with Polk Audio's and Boston Acoustics equivalents. Drove them with a Concord amp hidden under the dash, and of course replaced the factory deck with a higher end Blaupunkt model. Those little 6.5's really pumped out nice tight bass. Perfect for what he wanted. [/QUOTE]
