Actually the 3"ers are Founteks. The FE85 was the first ones I got for testing and they're amazing. I have a pair of the FR89EX's for the permanent installation. I know a guy who used some of the Fostex 3"ers in his Honda and really likes them. I tried the Founteks because they were easier to find and get my hands on.

When the 8's are installed they won't be sticking out any farther than the 6.5's. I'm going to use the same style three layers of 3/4" MDF to build the baffle for the 8's. Yes the window track is back there but won't be any issue for the way I'm going to be doing this. There's room for the 8 to fit between the front of the door card and the pocket with minimal cutting needed, only around the circumference of the rings for the baffle. I will be posting up every step of how I do it in the build log. I could post it here in the audio section as well if you think people would like to get an idea of how to do that task. If you think fitting the baffles for 8's is a trick wait until you see how I build .45cuft (estimated) ported enclosures in the doors.

The bolts are either 5/16" or 3/8", I can't remember which now without looking. They might be a little overkill for the job but that's a very small bit of extra money to spend for the peace of mind knowing I will NEVER have any issues with the hardware that's mounting the baffles, lol.
