Sealed door enclosures speaker recommendation

[supernov4]

Currently in the works of doing my midbass drivers
Going sealed enclosures I'm estimating between 7 litres on the small side
And probably 10 on the large side

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 6.5 or 8 inch driver that would work in such a size?
Crossover roughly 80hz to 400hz
Budget is flexible but roughly 500 canadian / pair?

Ideally 3.5 depth or less

It looks like a two or three-way speaker and Alpine sells these 8 inch type speakers. Not sure on the crossover and where to mount it on the door. Or on the back of the speaker is the tweeter mounted. But you’ll have to measure it specifically to see if it fits. 4 ohms. Look for an Alpine brand. They have all kinds or series or specific made. Lots of series. You will have to choose that yourself. Series or models. You can buy adapters too to fit those in. Watts: same as the door speakers. But good luck.​

It would be easier to go infinite baffle. I wouldn't bother with enclosure unless I was going to ported. That said, check out parts-express.com and madisound for drivers that would work for you.

Going sealed to help with door resonance
Currently running xcelsus xxm325 mids with xcelsus xxt30 tweeter powered by a zapco z150.6 processed with a helix dsp pro mk3
For sub stage I'm running a stereo integrity sql 15 powered by an alpine r2 a150m
Just looking for opinions if anyone has a go to driver they recommend when going sealed
Wether it's from madisound, parts express or solen or a car audio brand

That is tough one because it's rare to go sealed in the door. Generally, we seal and deaden the door instead. SB Acoustics and Dayton Reference have good reputations.

I may go with the dls scandinavia 165wi
Silver cone version
It's optimized for 9 litre sealed
Unless anyone has other options

I totally forgot about the scand 165wi
Used to run the dls gothia 3 way many years ago
Love the dls sound
Smooth and warm

I like DLS - totally forgot about them. You don't see them in the US much anymore.

I know
I literally just found my old dls gothia 1 tweeters like an hour ago
Took out my xxt30 and put the gothia in
It instantly became warm and sweet and sound stage widened up

I was having so much trouble taming the xcelsus tweeters too sharp for my liking
