I am sending my Z in to gut the stock Bose system, but I want to maintain a mostly stock look (with the exception of the HU). What I'm planning so far is:
Focal 165W - in the doors stock locations (6.5" midbass and 1" tweeter) The kicker is that the depth on the 6.5" is just over 3" (3.07" to be exact) and I'm curioius if the door will go back together without issue.
Focal 165CA - Coaxial 6.5's in the rear stock locations (these I'm not too worried about)
Focal 27WX - in the stock location which will be a sealed fiberglassed enclosure.
Diamond D5 1200.1 - to run the subs
Diamond D5 600.4 - to run everything else
Eclipse CD8443 - HU with 8V preouts
I've tried doing searches on this forum but apparently that functionality is broke at the moment, so I've been reading what other people have installed and checking the mounting depth on their speakers...so far nothing is around the 3" mark. Anyone out there know if this will work? It goes in next Monday (the 23rd) and I need to start getting parts ordered so any help would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks..

I think you can fit the 165W in the stock location, but you probably need the spacers. I remember quite a few people on this board has 165W install in their Zs.

Thanks Nlauri... I ran into your pics while looking through the sub pics post. Nice job by the way
.
So the door panels fit back on without a problem...the surrounds don't touch?
Oh and I've heard a lot of "smack" about the Utopias not sounding so great in-car. What do you think of them?
Thanks.
