rear speaker depth

Hi,

Just picked up a pre-owned 2011 c300 and the radio sound is lacking, I have, from reading these forums got a handle on the LCQ-1 line converter, and speakers for the front, amp, and sub.

I am concerned about the back, Not sure of the proper depth I can go.

I am specifically looking at:
Amazon.com: Focal IC 165 6.5" Coaxial Speakers: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Focal IC 165 6.5" Coaxial Speakers: Car Electronics


Focal 165's non components. Any idea if this will fit?

Thanks! :thumbsup:

I have those speakers with the Audio 20 Head Unit in my 2010 C300. I had an installer do the work. They installed the Focal IS 165's (component speakers) in the front and the Focal IC 165's (coaxial speakers) in the rear.

I also had a 75 watt amp added to the system as well.

These speakers made a huge improvement over the stock sound. I think that sound approved again after about another 30 hours of playing.

Awesome, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks!

Ended up with focal polyglass v170 components front and rear. Put the tweeters in the rear near the door handles. Jl audo dual 10 subs, alpine pix-5 75wx4 300wx1


They fit.
