NEW IDEA FOR HOME AUDIO
That's how the big Altec Voice of the Theater cabinets were used, three set up behind the screen...sure, the screen attenuated the treble somewhat, but when the horns are 113-115dB/W sensitive anyway, it's acting like a big EQ

NEW IDEA FOR HOME AUDIO
Maybe for someone who really can't stand looking at speakers, but... There are a lot of good speaker designs that require distance from walls. Putting the speakers in the walls also kills any chance of easily adjusting toe-in, although you could experiment and then finalize it. Besides, what's wrong at looking at speakers in the first place?

Alpine SPX-17REF
"Keeping up with the bass" is a horrible criteria for choosing speakers, IMO. You can get a bunch of $1.44 piezo tweets that'll "keep up" with the bass, but the question is will it be something you'd want to listen to? Chances are...no. And very efficient speakers in a vehicle aren't going to go together, save for horns. Most of those high efficiency speakers you're seeing are either lying or require huge boxes that you aren't going to fit in a door.

Can FI Recone a TC 3HP motor?
A TC9 motor with cooling channels would be a pretty funny proposition

Need H/U
An Alpine 9835 or Pio 880 PRS comes to mind, gives you plenty of active crossover capability, and since you already have a 4-channel you're all set on the amplification side of things. Or maybe something newer, I'm not very familiar with the model #'s though...

Nah...just ask pimpedout for help on the kickpanels, if he's making a removeable wall surely kickpanels are doable too

Hifonics BXI2607?
Because I'd rather buy a used, vintage amp that has vastly better build quality than a low level consumer product like that.

Using MAW-10's For a three way tower speaker
There are plenty of other woofers that will go up to 1K or so...but the MAW-10 isn't what you're looking for. Something like a B&C, Eminence Alpha or Dayton cast frame would do that, as well as be a lot easier to mate with a horn. Given the right (read: big) enclosure, you'd have plenty of midbass reaching down to the subbass depths with ease. I'd also advise against a horn tweet and compression midrange, might as well get a horn for everything 1K and above.
