8's in Bags?

Currently running GZ yellow coax off a B52 in fairing and 4 MMats pa690.4cx off a evox 800.4 in lids . I'm wanting some more bass from my setup.Is it possible to run a 8 or 10 in my bags without sealing the lids? And if so what speaker would be recommended?

Not without sealing. Those 6x9's will be fighting airspace to 8 or 10's and the 6x9 will get blown out.

Any recommendations on easiest way to seal off the lid speakers? I'd still like to be able to have at least a little space in my bags to throw a small bag or jacket.

You could baffle the 6x9's and run either 8's or 10's in the bags, or remove the 6x9's and use either sealed backs, compression horns, or a combination of both n the lids, and 10's in the bags.

These may work. I haven't personally tried them. This would be your easiest way to keep what you have.
Might be tough now that I remember you are running dual 6X9. Probably better off getting adapter plate and running some 6.5 sealed backs or 6.5 with buckets and throw a horn in there.

I ran the GZCK 200spl Yellow baskets 8's in my bags with DD VO 6x9's in the lids! I tried it without baffles and with baffles on the 6x9's using the Design Engineering 050380 Boom Mat 6x9 baffles also I just purchased the Metra 81-6900 that Shocker posted! I could not hear much difference when comparing the two (baffled and unbaffled)! The foam Design Boom Mat baffles muffled the VO's sound so i had to make some vents in the baffles to let them breath and that helped! I just put in the GZCK 250Xspl 10 inch yellow's in with a SD 1200.1 and might try the Metra baffle which are hard plastic compared to the Boom Mats which are foam...The 10's really hit HARD, you might consider 10's, although you lose a little more space...decisions decisions... good luck bro!
