I actually do have a great ported box right now, but it just won't fit into the trunk...I'd love to put it in the car but it seems like my only option is sealed. Lol I'm looking for some midbass options guys, I need some kick! I'm not gonna be buying them for a while but I'd like to pick something out.

For some reason I feel like I have nothing better to do on Sat morning, so let's get the numbers into winisd and this is what we have.
orange is your 15 wgti in 6.5@35hz box and yellow is 3 8w7s in 4@35hz box, just for ***** and giggles i dont know if its good for 3 of them.
basically your 15 gets louder.
3 8s is just slightly behind it.
this is just mathematical model, factor in the cabin gain and who knows whats going on.
you might have even bigger peaks or dips somewhere other than one already created by the port.
this isn't exactly whats going on, but it's a relatively good way to find out where you might be and where you may be going, just a ballpark. unless you enjoy living in the caves lol.
damn my team members for getting you into this "better midbass" thing.
i think it is more work than doing any kind of box and dropping it into the trunk. you start with two simple words above and end up with hours of work and a hole in your pocket (hole size depends)...
forgot to add my "Crappy Install Squad" addy... One thing I probably realized after getting them in is that doors are good, but not optimal for these little babies. I told you I get that "feels like metal panel" sound from them.

yeah well my midbasses wouldnt go in the doors, id either put them in the rear deck or just in boxes somewhere up front...doesn't really have to look pretty i just want it to sound good. what mids are you using exactly and how do they sound? And why do you think it'd be more expensive/more work to get mids? Wouldn't I only need a little amp and two or four mids? I have an extra 2-channel 800 watt ultimate amp thats one ohm stable, if thatd do the trick. would you have another suggestion? should i just get one 8w7 to go with the 15 instead of mids? sorry for all the questions lol and dont worry about your saturday, i spent it working at the checkout in foodland lol.
