What size spacer would I need to fit Focal 165 K2Ps? Their mounting depth is 3.03" and per some threads on here, people said that max mounting depth with spacers is 2.5"... can someone confirm this?

That's the purpose for this thread..its not quite as easy as just looking at the mounting depth.

I installed Hertz HSK 165 in my front doors! Pain in the but! Had to use a 1.5" spacer to clear the window! Clears window by 1/16" I installed audiobahn 6" pro mid bass drivers in the rear. I The magnets on the six inch speakers are bigger than the polk MM 10's I use for subs!
Here is a pdf with the Polk Audio DB6501 dimensions. Anyone able to look at this pdf and say if they will fit in a 07 with a spacer? Not sure about the tweeter dimensions.....http://www.polkaudio.com/downloads/d...inedrawing.pdf

My first install in the Z I used the factory mounts and cut out the driver. These supported using my Boston Acoustics Pro 6.5's. It was a quick, simple and cheap way to go but does not address the half blocked grill.
Now I use Nazar's door pods.

ohfourzee, I think you've swayed me to your view. I am now leaning towards getting some Hertz HSK165's for the front and then possibly getting Hertz HCX165's for the back down the road once I have more $$$. I am now looking for an amp to power the hertz. I wanted to get a JL amp but they are out of my price range. Would a Kicker 08ZX650.4 be fine? I noticed HSK's go to 22Hz and that amp only goes to 20Hz would that be a problem?
I didnt even bother with the rears, at all, and I wont bother with them, ever. I think its worthless because after installing my Pioneer F700, while I still had the stock speakers, I set the balance on the fader all the way to the front, and it actually sounded better. So by that, I will not even bother with the rears.
Im in the process of installing the 620Z and a JL 300/2. The crossovers are so dam big, I am moving it from one location to the next on the door to find a spot that fits. I know right above the speaker fits, and way below where the red marker light is fits as well.

Polk SR6500's fit if you use the stock speaker as a spacer. Not sure the stock grill will fit if you mount the tweeter in the "comp-axial" arrangement (where the tweeter is mounted coaxially). I will check tomorrow when I finish the install. I am going to be cutting ou the stock grill and covering it with speaker cloth to help improve sound... hopefully it won't bulge out.
Edit, post install: I cut the stock grill (stock sound blocker) out and covered the frame in speaker cloth. And they fit over the Polk SR6500's, even in the "comp-axial" mode with the tweet mounted on the woofer. Also, to get the stock spacer to work, you need to do a tiny bit of shaving along the inside edge, as the baskets of the Polk speakers are fairly wide.
