Default Replace s197 Door Subs??

hey guys i dont know too much about the audio field. i have done some searching, but have hit some grey areas. i cant stand the rattle of the junky 8" subs in the door on my shaker 500 system. I have heard mixed reviews from the pioneer to the kickers. so the bottom line is that i need some 8" subs that fit in the door with no modifications and will run on the stock amp and shaker 500 HU. is this possible, and of so what do i need. thanks alot!!!

you will need to switch the amp out along with the woofers.

jl audio ZR 8" sub, its currently the cleanest sub in the world for the price, its like 600 each, you will win every sound quality competition if you get them and full jl Zr speakers and jl or alpine amp and a little dynamat

probably an 1800 dollar speaker setup but it will be the best ever, ZR 8's just came out, they are hard to find

Ya, it sucks but you also need to make a custom enclosure for the 8 inch pioneer premier's. Its not the depth but the width of the magnet that doesnt go in. So, if your still looking Bigmax apparently the Memphis Msync8's fit with no mods.
