The Bose setup comes with 6x9's in doors, if i'm not mistaken, so an 8" is definitely do-able.

Pretty much what I was thinking. As you said, the Bose system comes with 6x9's, so an 8" driver shouldn't be too difficult you would think.
Mounting depth shouldn't be an issue, at least from some of the 8" drivers that I've been looking at. They're about the same (a couple even less) than some 6.5" drivers.
The real concern would be clearance between the driver and door card as well as making a spacer that can possibly move the driver off center from the stock opening in the door to allow it to fit properly.
BTW, I'm not looking at component sets, but rather raw drivers. Controlling it all actively via the head unit gives me a lot more selection and flexibility on what drivers to choose from.
Right now, I'm just researching my options.
