Anyone running 8" mids in 3rd gen front doors?

Looks like you are gonna be the first.

 

No I’m pretty sure I’ve seen others doing it on here. Just nobody’s active or seeing this

 

I was going to put in my Hybrid LEGATIA SE 8 inch drivers in my door to replace my hybrid unity neo 6x9 and upon talking to Scott(owner of hybrid audio and former iasca a champ) he said I would gain pretty much no noticeable difference in my truck. I’m running fully active with dsp and my doors are fully sound treated and I only wanted to swap them to be able to say I had them lol

 

If I had a dollar for everytime I did something that made no sense, but did it because people said it wouldnt work I would have enough for a baconator at wendys.

Ive been looking at focal utopia 8s, but at $999 each, I will have to wait till the wifes not around to even think about getting them.

 

Kinda surprising to me but I guess going from 6x9 will be lessor difference than 6.5 to 8. Everybody keeps telling me to fit the 8” Utopia M rather than the 6.5” if I can in anyway possible

 

I'll be honest, I'm going through the research because I have an itch, and want to say I did that. That said, I think I'm just going to hold on to what I have, and wait for Karma to release their 6x9.

 

Well I just ordered a pair of WM 8” for $250 off each so I will update with my thoughts ASAP. Got a good deal on a set. It was killing me not to have the matching mid bass with mid range and tweets and I keep reading and hearing about how awesome the 8” sounds

 

I guess I really knocked some people loose in this thread, the one in DIYMA and on facebook LMAO. I think the thread I created on DIYMA has the most activity of any of the 6x9 threads I have found.....

 

Lol definitely costed me mo money

 

But you saved $500, that's a great deal. Honestly, I wouldn't mind buying the HAT U69S.....

 

Yep I did and planned on it sometime anyway lol it’s not really anything that wasn’t bound to happen as soon as I got a taste of the Utopia mids and highs I knew I was doomed. So when I was told $1500 I said let’s do it and get it over with. Was either $1150 for WM6.5s or $1500 for the 8s

 

You deal HAT?

 

I want to circle back on this because it's still in my damn head.....

How did the WMs work out?

 

i'm actually thinking of running dual 6.5" woofers in the front doors. need to make an adapter anyways!

 

While I like the idea, make sure the stock grill is going to have enough open space. I would even say it might be better to run a 6.5 and a 4 inch in the door. But with a 4 down that low it might not sound the best pointed at your ankles.

 

yea, it's a lot of idea's for me at this point-- i like to let things set and marinate in my head for a while before taking action. all i know is i've got 2 SB Acoustics 8" woofers, as well as 4 Peerless 6.5" HDS woofers gathering dust, and it'd be nice to make them do something..

i'm all but figuring that my audio build once i get around to it is going to take 3+ months of having the truck entirely gutted...

 

Do the peerless have the flat sides? might be a little more "doable" if they got the flat sides.
