if you made a 1/4 or 3/8's inch spacer to go under the speaker, you might be able to get a Mmmats PA 601 or a hertz sv165 in the hole. how it would look and what kind of grill set up would work i don't know, but i'm spitballing here. once you have a good speaker in the hole, get rid of the 400.4 and get another 800.4, use it to drive your lowers and lids, tune it and good to go. horns on 1&2, fairings on 3&4, lowers on 5&6 and lids on 7&8.
tune it and go, to me, lowers are a worthwhile investment and you will here them all the time if you plan it out well.

take horns/tweeters off 1and 2 and run straight of the nano, head unit speaker out put, that will give you 2 more, you are mistaken about what those speakers need and what is enough to run them. the power from a SDEvo800.4 is plenty for both your 6x9s and your 6.5s. another option would to be putting the tp's and lowers in parallel, this works ok sometimes because both the tp pod and the lower pod have kinda small airspaces to work with. The Evo 800 puts out 144 watts, maybe some more, so i have a hard time thinking it's not enough, especially after testing it on your same speakers.
you could also ditch the dsr1 and get the DD dsi2, which would give you ten outs, use the 2 outs that have are just through outs to send signal to your tweeters. just ideas for you
.m

if you need more power get the Evo1200.4 and put it in a bag.

I’d hate to do that to the horn then I would have to put the crossovers in / maybe my 6x9 are messed up I got 400.4 bridged that’s over 200 watts plus and my MPK in fairing is twice as loud

Lowers and tp pods in parallel on 2 channels, they will tune very similar, lids on their own 2 channels and tuned individually.
