Ok, stock 1996 855R setup with RCA's off the back of the HU (Kelvin's setup) to 1,000Watt JBL Sub and Amp.

I do not need to replace the front and rear tweeters in the wagon, they get high enough and generally dont have any problems...

The front and rear door speakers need replacing:

They pop (Bottem out) when under heavy bass and especially with the speed sensitive sound from the stock HU

Basically, I want decent DROP IN speakers for the front and rear doors. I thought they were 8ohm speakers and those are hard to find? - school me...

Thanks in advance!

Not sure why you're running high levels of low frequencies through the door speakers, when I tune a system I start by a low bass setting on the HU and then countering it with the amp adjustments accordingly. Either way though if they're popping it won't be long until they're done for.

There's no need for high levels of bass through dinky door speakers, especially when there's a subwoofer involved in the setup. Just a word to the wise for when you replace them so you don't encounter the same problems.

I have some five and a quarter kenwood's in the front doors(sorry kids spilled lemonade on the keyboard and some of my numbers don't work), rears I have some pioneer six and half's, had to snip off a post on the grill though for it to fit back on. I replaced them due to the same thing your experiencing.

No problem.
There are 2 DIN connectors back there:
AMP - out for the sub.
CHANGER - in for the Blitzsafe.
