6's to 8's, good idea? Options

[Anub1s]

I was looking at the how to articles and saw the one that explained how to do the 6" to 8" speaker conversion. I was wondering if anyone has done that and if so, did it help a lot. Give me some input please.

Or you could just read my how to article for what you need on putting 8" subs in the doors.
I've just got Kicker Freeair in there, but they don't make them anymore, the new 8" Kickers are nice as well(SMB8 I think?). With the subs in the doors and tweeters in the mirrors(the little plastic triangle) it shouldn't sound too bad, once you fix all the rattle. There are just too many pieces that rattle, from the power window controls, to the door handles, to the mirrors, it's like one giant rattle. But if you take the time and do it right, it should sound pretty good.
Also, the 8 speaker factory system had 2 speakers in the door. I've been trying to find the door pads from one so I can put 5.25 or 6.5(don't know what it came with since I don't have one) components up front to complete the sound stage.
