[QUOTE="1TUF14SHELBY, post: 12992004, member: 145739"] I did the install this morning and swapped the stock doors with the Infinity 6832 (6x8) and the replaced the door subs with the Shelby Kicker 8". Metra wire harness is absolutely backwards so I had to swap the plugs so they matched. I am 100% certain all polarity is correct as I tested all of them. Also, as a reminder I have the ShakerPro with the additional sub in the trunk. My thoughts: 1. Mid and high range are clearer which is good. 2. Low frequency bass from the doors is cut down a lot, and as others have noted you will get less vibrating bass in total. I really have mixed feelings on this and have disappointment in that Shelby/Kicker should have made these subs dual voice coil, and 2 OHM like the stock speakers as I think this would be substantially better. 3. Probably a better balanced system for those who don't listen to pop/hip hop/ but those that do should either use different door subs or leave stock ones in (I listen to all these along with some rock and country). If you do not have the ShakerPro I would recommend only replacing the 6x8's unless you want anemic bass. So net- I have mixed impressions, and would have probably only done the 6x8's based on my preferences but they are in now so I'll keep it this way for now. I'd still love to hear if someone tries replacing the door subs with the dual voice coil, shallow mount Rockford Fosgates, 2 OHM's. My gut says that would the ideal set up (I might try this at some point this summer). Now that I have the Shelby speaker covers on they might just fit under them. [/QUOTE]
