Need sub and comp opinions

I know I know its hard to ask what i should be running but here's my delema

I had bought a set of Focal's 165v components but they will not fit in the Datsun 280z that we have (wife will not allow me to cut the door any more than it is) so I sold them. Now I need a decent SQ oriented 5 1/4" component (or co-ax) to replace them. Should I just go with the Focal 130's ? Or is there something that is comparable? I used to run 5 1/4" Oz audio components in my last Daily which were 'ok' IMO.

Next I am contemplating which way to go for low end fill. I was thinking either two 8" subs or a single 10". I'm going to be using Elemental Design's most likely as I've heard my friend's little 10" and it seems to do the job and is priced really well for what it does. Would two 8"s be better for the small cabin or just the single 10"?

The 10" is the SQ10" 250wrms
