For anyone wanting a plug and and play connector you need the Metra 72-9300 harness. It says it's for a Mazda but it plugs right into the g8. Great video!

@lunitunz I know these Alpines work, but I cannot guarantee other speakers.

I recently replaced the speakers in my SV6 Commodore and similarly, both rear speakers were rusted out one wasn't even playing. make sure to check out your door drains 2 slots on the bottom of the door behind the rubber seal mine were completely clogged.

Good point

I can't decide between these two speakers, I would take either the Alpine S2 S65C or the JBL GTO 609C for the car door. Of course, it would be connected to a Hifonix amplifier with a power of 4x135Watt/RMS with 4 Ohm OR 4x225Watt/RMS with 2 Ohm. Then I would need 4" speakers for the dashboard, which I would have to choose from is the Alpine S S40 (S2 S40) or the JBL Club4020, because I can't get anything else from JBL here in Europe. Now it's important that the speakers don't have that pounchi bass but that deep soft bass and the tweeters are not that important because those prominent trebles are really annoying to me and the middle tone is more important to me.I now have Hertz DSK170.3 speakers in my door and I'm not happy with them at all the bass is totally bad that strange pouncy bass, even though I have the doors insulated with Sound Deadener and foam specifically for car sound systems.

@@whiplashtv2022 For the Alpine R series, the price is a bit too high for me, and this year's Alpine S2 series is practically similar to the R series, it even has a lower frequency of 55Hz than the old R series and of course up to 40kHz. This year's S2 series is quite a bit better than the previous S, at least that's what they say, and the statistics themselves show that. As I said, I don't want to spend as much money for a speaker as the R series costs, so I asked about these two models mentioned above. I'm still somehow drawn to the Alpine S2 series because it's mentioned throughout that they have those low soft basses due to the very composition of soft and light materials and that different rubber around the membrane. The most important thing to me about the speakers is that they don't have those punchy basses and those annoying high tones from the tweeter speakers, but they also say that, if you use an amplifier, it's best that the speakers have the lowest possible sensitivity, and Alpine has it 88db/W lower than some others .

@@Luminous.Dynamics the G8 has a lot of speakers in it as well so you get a lot of sound. 4 6.5” speakers, 2 8” subwoofers, and a pair of tweeters in the front. So 8 speakers total.

Because the G8 does not have room for components in the front doors, and they are more than twice as much. These coax speakers still sound very good. I have the Alpine Type R component speakers in another vehicle, and I do not think that they are twice as good, although they are slightly better.

Just a tip, coaxial speakers in the doors typically isn’t going to be as good if you do components.
