Jason,
If you're willing to do some custom work, consider some build-out
panels for the kick panels. You'll get better stereo separation, and
you should be able to fit a pair of 6 1/2" or 8" mids in them (one
on each side), with room for tweeters as well. Alternatively, you
could put the tweeters low in the doors, keeping them close to the
mids.
Another advantage of kickpanel speakers is that you don't have to
run wires into the doors, cleaning up the install a little bit. I
would recommend an external amp, since all convertibles are noisy,
and MGs with Monza exhausts are noiser than most...
