How much bass do you expect from replacing them? It might be more worth it to forget them and go for a 10"/12" instead.

I agree!! 200watts rms for a 6.5" midbass is pretty damn good!! Most quality 6.5" midbass are about 80-100watts rms. If your looking for real lowend your gonna need a traditional sub/amp combo. You'll never get good sub bass from a sail panel speaker. Kick drum type bass...sure...but not sub frequencies.

between 3.25" and 3.35"

add .5" of a spacer to those numbers and that's the most space (.5" spacer is the largest you can fit)

I have put eu700s there in my bros car (eu700 depth = 3.5") and made a .5" spacer; couldn't have gotten away with no spacer, and the minimum spacer that would work well was .25"

Default For mid-range best possible combo . . .

I have already installed an amazing combo (mine consists of Polk Audio mids components and Kicker Subs). From what I've heard through people talking about similar setups are:

1) The Polk/Kicker/Alpine have some amazing mid-range components and I decided to go Polk, I will show pictures of mounting and tweeter install on 98-02 Camaro in the near future.

2) Also if you are going stealth box(es) in the hatch then either Kicker's VT-10s or JL Audio 10w0(s) I believe work great. For the T-top box build, either 2 Kicker Solo 12" Solo X's or the JL AUDIO 10W7. Heavy Rock and alternative I would go with JL, if you listen to alot of rap then Kicker has a better punch. Personal preference is what I advise.

3) Either Second Skin or Dynamat for sound dampener. The owner of second skin was cool enough to let me know that, if I could get in contact with our site admin then he would def. look into doing a discount on orders. So admins please PST me and I can give all info.

I will be callaborating a pic./text installation guide/video that I will start to form in a DVD format only. Anyone who's wanting to view this only needs to pay shipping. I'm not charging people b/c I get alot of good info from this site.

*** PLease let me know of any other good combinations you have seen or currently have equipped in your car, so I can add it to the guide and of course the speaker model(s) and amplifier model(s). Thanks guys look forward to helping all.
