Need help w/ 8 inchers

I plan on getting 1 or 2 8" Re Audio RE's. Where would be the best place to install these? Btw, I'm using these for Midbass for my front stage.

EDIT: Oops! I meant the RE's.

i dont know if se's are designed for midbass situations
but if so, then instllation depends on:
1 - how much skill you (or your installer) has
2 - how much you care about stage depth and width (if you dont know what those are, then the answer is you dont care)
3 - where the rest of your speakers are installed

If they're for the midbass for your front stage, I would assume you'd want two to keep the stereo sound.

yeah....

I am going to have 2 way components in the doors(tweeter mounted by side mirror thing). I was either thinking custom kick panels for two 8s or under the seats.....but I don't think under the seats would work out to well. So I was wondering if there are any other options besides kick panels.

you are gonna want to have your tweeter as close to the mid as possible. you should use the kick panels for your components to keep them together and try to place the 8" somewhere else. with some work, you might be able to install it in the door. disconnect the factory speakers and you should be good to go...

I meant the Re's, sorry.

So my best bet would be the components in kick panels and The Re Audio Re's in the doors? I don't feel like making custom kick panels. So are their any kick panles I can buy that will fit 6.5"? Only ones I've seen for my car are these.
