First off, please let me know if this stuff will fit; I don't have my car with me today so I can't run out and check, but here is what I've researched and the sizes I think are correct... Second, do many people run component speakers? Where do you mount the hardware at? Installation is going to be in a 2000 Camaro Z28. Thanks!

For the doors: Rockford Fosgate P-162S

f you plan on running the speakers on an external amp then it would sound amazing. Component speakers usually require more power to run them. If you want to spend the money on an amp I say go for it. If I had the money I would put component speakers in my car. You could mount them in the back ofthe car. I cant remember off hand how much distance there can be between the speaker and its components. Definitely good stuff though. Check out infinity component systems. They rock.

Will those fit in the doors?? They look really deep.

Also, you lose one of the bigger advantages of component speakers with the tweeters on the woofer like that. It functions more like a two way speaker instead of a component. JMHO
