Focal 165A3 3 Way Components in the front of a w124?
Anybody tried to install Focal 165A3 3 Way Components in the front of a w124?
I am going to remove all OEM equipment and start from scratch including new head unit, front and rear speakers, amplifier and subwoofer. My 95 is equipped with active bass so my thought is to use the stock locations and find a dash or A-pillar spot for tweeter.
Based on reading the boards, it appears that these things might fit. My concerns are that that woofer and midrange are simply too big and deep or will not fit without a lot of modification to the stock locations:
1. woofer mounting depth of 2.60" and mounting diameter of 5.55"
2. midrange mounting depth of 2.17" and mounting diameter of 3.70"
