Question Need ideas for midbass location

I'm putting together a system in an 04 sequoia.
Currently consisting of speakers in the kick panels and the factory door location. But my system still seems to lack the needed midbass for my taste.
So I'm looking to buy some 8" drivers to fill in the gap. As of now I'm considering getting the jl zr800 (if someone can recommend a better pair please do).
So here come my problem, where to locate the drivers? Any ideas or maybe even links to other setups would be nice. I want to have everything as hidden as possible, I have too much invested to be showing it off for some scumbag thief.
Please throw out any ideas.

I know that q-logic makes custom kick panels if you want to put larger midrange speakers if your front speakers are only 4" from the factory. The q-logic kick panels allow you to put 5.25" or 6.5" component speakers.

But to put 8" midbass or 8" shallow mount subs in your front doors is going to require some custom work and perhaps cutting into your door panel to make it fit.

I'm already running 6.5" in the doors and the kicks already. I understand it would probably have to be some custom work. But have no idea how to locate everything, stay reasonably stealthy, and still be staged correctly.

Anybody have any ideas? I've been told by a local shop they can get both 6.5s in the kicks so the 8s can go in the doors with some custom work. I'm kinda shying away because I don't get where I'll keep my left foot while driving. Has anybody done something like that? Of so comments/suggestions?
Thanks!
