Default Would Those Subs Fit?

I was just curious if a set of 8" subs could be fitted in the place of speakers behind the doors (doorsails?). I was thinking of getting a new headunit, components for the front doors and under the trunk lid, and a 6 channel amp - and then I would like to keep those subs in the same place that stockers are. For this I was looking at a set of Infinity Subs Reference 850W. Will they fit there? If not - what size speaker is in that spot?
BTW - the car is 2000 WS6 with monsoon (soon to be taken out)

you could put them anywhere in the back, just make a baffle out of mdf and put them where you want. Make sure you find a whole a cut the baffle big enough so it doesnt slide around.

thanks for the answers. Btw- is there enough space behind that pannel for me to open up the hole & would the magnet in the back clear? As those subs look pretty deep ...

maybe. . .measure w/out the 6 1/2 in there for best idea. . .don't forget to give it about 1/2inch clearance so it's not contacting the sail panel. Won't hurt to stuff it with foam either.

Im sure you CAN get just about anything to fit there just depends on how much custom work you want to do and how deep the midbass driver is that your mounting.

Without cutting the biggest you can go is 6.5.
