8 inch ported or sealed?

You need to resolve the issues with your current equipment before you start adding more.
I would suggest looking to your 6.5" (i assume they're mounted in the doors?) dampen the area, front and behind the driver.
Where are they currently crossed over? This could be a potential issue as well.
This will make a world of difference.
There isn't much you can do with 6x9" in the rear shelf.
If you cant get the mid-bass you want out of the 6.5", pick up a set of dedicated mid-bass drivers.
Kicker SSMB8 are a good choice if you're on a tight budget (I had them in my last install and they worked very well)

I will do that , i will try to seal everything this week... with the superb blueskin revolutionary soundeadner :], or if that will totally fail, a standard super overpriced rubber on tin foil.
the worst comes to worse, and I really hate the 8"in my cabin, I will bring it indoors and upgrade my computer audio :].... (Yes i know i can't just hook it up to home audio system :] )....
Thanks for the advice everyone.
Anyone has a idea of placing that 8" inside of the cabin in 97 civic coupe( i think we all now what those look like)?
[since I did not get a clear answer about what enclosure, besides father that suggested a bandpass sealed chamber bass reflex box- I will try to build this box, but I doubt I will do good) the 8" ( hopefully a CDT ef-8) is going to a small sealed box for now.

I did not ask about what driver, the problem here is that people go waaay of track on my original question. I now what I have to do with my current setup. I know the bass response will improve after I'm done, but I was just asking what box will be best for 8" at 60-100Hz. And sorry if I sound rude about some of the advices, but people post bunch of stuff sometimes not even related to the original question. I appreciate all the helpful advices, but the question is still there :], Maybe its impossible to set an 8" to 60-100Hz, if that's the case, let me know :]. If You are frustrated with this thread, don't bother responding, I'm doing car audio for fun, not to **** off anybody here.
