Focal 165's V2 DO NOT FIT
I rang my local Ice dealer yesterday about upgrading my front speakers in MY04 Scoob.He suggested that i go for the Focal 165's V2 component's.
I asked him if he was sure that they would fit as I had heard via this site that they needed to be the slim Model, He assured me they would and quoted £250, which was a good price. Needed a harness for my head unit, wiring kit for the Sub and blanking plate, As he was going to fit my amp, Sub and head unit, and the front speakers was going to charge £200 for fitting but would throw the dynamat in for free. One happy bunny ! BUT on collection of my Scoob he explained that the speakers would'nt fit so has ordered some slim ones with a reduction of £50, I told him what i had repeated the day before and said that they would'nt fit ! He could'nt Fit the head unit because the harness was'nt the correct one. So I have a Sub and amp fitted but not connected and he charged me £150 for the labour, Has promissed to look after me with the final bill when the speakers arrive on Tuesday ! I want to know what your thought's are on this and what i should pursue ! This is'nt a back street bodge it and scarper company by the way. Your comment's will be appreciated. Cheers |

They do fit you've just got to make spacers for them out of 12mm mdf.
Only thing is, because of the depth of them your window's won't go all the way down!! |
