Default 1998 Front Subs

I know I can install aftermarket 8" subs in the front and they need to be shallow mount but what is the depth they need to be? Some have different depths. I just want something that will fit and work with the factory head unit til I decide what amp to use with them. I will be installing a Pioneer double din head unit later in year after I decide on exactly how far I will go with the system.
And, is anyone familiar with mini amps and are they any good?

each door speaker has an amp module on it. the speaker itself is 1/2 ohm, so any after market speaker will not really sound as good as the factory until you replace the headunit and and a separate amp. If one of yours is blown and your're not ready to dive in, then it's cheaper to get one on this forum or on ebay.
Max depth is about 3.5"
