8" Midbass woofe's choice for 08?

Ok org here goes. I have ID comps and coax in the doors and have some 6.5 beyma M6's in the rear deck. I just changed from an 300/4 for doors and a 300/2 for the beyma's. Well I want to put 8" for more midbass response as the beyma's are not performing to my liking. I do not plan to make a custom rear deck. I am just going to use stock locations, i am fully aware that will need a bit of work so no need to tell me that

I need some suggestions as to which 8"s to go with as these midbass will not be in a box, i am ASSuming i need some type of IB 8"s. If my reasoning is wrong here let me know. the 8" will be run in parrallel/series then run off the sub channel in the 500/5, Let me know what type of woofers you think i should go with and why. Thanks in advance

I know he said front doors, he said put it in the front and leave the rear deck empty. if i remove the 6's from the front door and the rear deck, i only have voice from the rear door's and i know my speakers in there will not handle it. I want the midbass as pure midbass. I could put 8's in the front doors and do some kick panels so that will help with the voice. Back to my main questions, I need 8's any suggestion?

thanks nismos14, i will look into those, I am gonna have to tie up the wallet a bit first. You are not the only one telling me to get rid of the rear deck, lol. I do like the idea of kick panels and the 8's in the doors. If i go that route (leading towards it) i have to decide do i keep the 6's in the door and build the kicks to hold 8's or vice versa. hmmmm. Ascendant i like your kickpanels, i am gonna need your help. haha.

8s in the kicks SUCK. there's simply not enough airspace in the kicks to PROPERLY house some 8" midbasses.

You could also look at dayton reference series if budget is a concern
