Replace front speakers in 2008 GT

[Blind]

Car is a 2008 GT Convertible with the factory nav unit and 8" subs in the front doors (shaker 500 w/nav?)

Recently it seems the drivers door has a blown out speaker, I'm not sure which one but something in that door rattles on even mildly bass heavy songs if the stereo DSP is set to 'convertible' and the volume is at a normal low listening level.

I have the CPO premium warranty with a $100 deductible, but I'm wondering if there is any alternative speakers out there for about the same money that are recommended as a perfect fit for this car that would be better quality than the factory units?

It is most likely the window switches rattling. There is a TSB for it, but several have fixed with double stick tape.
Search for it in the DIY section I think

thanks but that doesn't address the 8" speakers, only the 5x7's. I'm not finding very many shallow depth 8" subwoofer style speakers.

these are the only ones that are a direct replacement.

This is correct. Anything else, you will have to make a spacer ring or cut the door panel behind the woofer.

I just ordered a set of MB quart 8"subs. These are a shallow mount sub with a 2.5 depth. no cutting or other stuff required.

Doesn't Pioneer make a shallow mount as well that fits?

Its not that they wont fit. The factory sub has a bolt that goes from the back of the door panel through the panel and into the subs magnet. The kickers have the same and thats why they are considered a direct replacement. Any others you will have to either glass the hole over or use dynamat to seal the hole up.
