Thanks alot.
The could probably be fitted to the car, yes, but not easily. The 6.5" midbass in the opening where the stock sub is, easy. The 4" midrange would have to get mounted to the door to play through the grille where the stock 3.5" speaker mounts. You wouldn't be able to mount it to the door panel itself the way the stock speaker is though, the 4" is too big. You'd have to make some sort of plate to mount to the door so the magnet for the 4" goes into the depression in the door itself where the 3.5" stock speaker's magnet goes. Then you'd have to figure out where to put the tweet. You could mount it down with the midbass, though getting it aligned to sound good would require alot of effort. The other option with the tweet is an A-pillar/dash mount, which requires a lot of fiberglass work.

That being said, Is the 165 KPS a better way to go. I do not want to "hack" up the interior. I just really like all focal speakers and want to have the best sound i can.
Thanks
Or do you have a better speaker recomendation?
