as for right now I don't have an amp (will be off headunit), but I hope to get one this summer. Thinking MTX or whatever I can get a good deal on.

I got em from thezeb.com they have really good prices and they know their stuff. Chech out the site. I was talking with the guy for about 1/2hr on pro's + cons. I highly recommend them and the shipping is done 2-3 day delivery and it was like $12 or something for shipping, well worth it. So far with my mods (limited) this place has been the best and I would buy from them again I give them way up

nope not installed yet cause the focal depth is too great. I was at the shop today and I have to wait another week appointment on Tues 21st at 1:30 for install. The placce I'm getting them done at is really nice and they know their stuff, problem they found is that my speakers will be pusing against the door panel grill so in time the speaker will rub and eventually tear. They would sound ok, but they didn't want to install them for fear of later probs. I'm gonna try to find a solution otherwise I'm gonna step down the the 136V cause those will fit.

As I've said about installing mine before...you have to shave the speaker grills...there's little crosshatch braces to them on the bacside of the door panel..you gotta shave off where they'll touch takes about 45 minutes for both doors..a dremel tool works wonders for this...
