The overall dimensions of the box look OK for a 'disco' speaker.
I must ask again - are your car speakers definitely 8" (200 mm) as you 'thought' they were, and not 6.5" (165 mm)?
Whichever overall diameter the speakers have, do make sure the smaller circular cut outs to house the drivers have the correct diameter.

what works well sometimes is making an ad asking honestly "who will give their old functioning pa speakers for free?"
if you are lucky you will get some or for very little money

They are 6.5" i checked(200 mm) as you 'thought' they were, and not 6.5" (165 mm)?
@Freedom666 uhh the problem is in city that i live there is not like a pawn shop or similar, and I see a lot of people run very old pa stuff. And where I am supposed to ask for old pa systems?
@Mica_antrnica
maybe on facebook for the city where you live?
Or you leave a message at a frequented shopping store close to you. Maybe you are lucky!

That 18" driver looks like a serious candidate given that its specs include a real world power rating of 750 W RMS (1500 W MAX) and the T/S parameters required to design a suitable enclosure.
P.S. RMS equates to the continuous power I mentioned earlier, and MAX equates to the peak power.

Building a box is not a problem. And 2 new things that i found about speakers is that they are Zomax speaker and on a forum they say that Martin Wisman sounds bad but that was in 2009 and btw here is link to that thread Link it is in serbian but it is only place where i found somting about tham.
Building a box is not a problem.
Building a box may not be a problem, but designing a box to suit the T/S parameters of a driver does involve a problem - a mathematical problem.
Thankfully, the mathematical problem can nowadays be solved by computer design software in the hands of one or other of our expert members.
