Has anyone added the 8" Kicker Door Subs to the Stock System?

The Shelby/Kicker 8's are 4ohm speakers compared to the OEM 2ohm speakers.
So adding the Shelby/Kicker 8's will reduce the power that the amp puts out by half.
So just replacing the stock HU to an aftermarket will not do the trick. You will either have to go aftermarket amp or buy the Shelby/Kicker amp.
I have the Shelby/Kicker door speakers and door subs but I am still running the OEM Shaker 500 amp for the door subs.

Can anyone tell me the specs on the Shelby Kicker 8's? Are they single voicecoil or dual and what is the Ohm rating per voicecoil? What is the power handling?
I'm thinking about replacing my door subs with a set of these, with an amplifier, but I don't see specs on the Shelby website.

I should have a set installed in about a month, driven by a little over 200 Watts per channel. I plan to bandpass them at something like 70 Hz to 200 Hz, depending on how it sounds and where I end up crossing over the sub I'm adding in the trunk.
If anyone is interested, I'll post back with how it turns out.

I'll answer my own question here. I called Shelby and they gave me a number to call Kicker. Not sure where BadHabit2Break got the info he posted above but Kicker says the door woofers ( can't bring myself to call them subwoofers ) are single voicecoil and they are 2 Ohm impedance. The power handling is 200 Watts RMS each.
