Looking at buying a pair of focal 165 vr. Will there be any mounting issues. Should i buy the focal 165 vrs (the slim ones) instead. Only want to buy once. And is there a better pair of speakers than these for 300.00 that i should look at as well. Thanks guys

What's the depth of the speakers? The speakers I installed the other day are 2.81 inches in depth. Mounted with the new SOS door speaker plates, everything mounts perfectly, and when the door panel is re-installed, the fit and finish is as good as OEM.

According to Focal's website, they are 74mm deep, which is approximately 2.9 inches. Slightly deeper than my speakers.

They should fit, but I can't say for certain. :redface:
 
I put in Focal K2P without any problems. You should also look at Dynaudio. I will have a set of used but perfect condition available soon out of my BMW.

Thanks guys I went with a pair of Rainbow profi phase plug 6.5. Surpose to be really good handmade german speakers. If you have heard anything about them please chime in. Oh I have an Audison srx 3, 3 channel amp to power them. Any advice on the DVD Navigation unit....looking at kenwood 8120dnx, pioneer has new stuff that is cheaper but i dont think people have been very happy with the new pioneer line up. Any advice?
 
I listened to the new Pioneer Premier decks today. They have a unique feature where they restore the quality of compressed digital source material from MP3s etc. It sounded fantastic as compared to other head units I have demo’d. They are also hand built, have a copper chassis and a 2 year warranty. I also recommend the HD radio add on which provide superior sound as well to other sources which might be compromised by car-bourne originating interference. good luck.
