HELP! Focal 165VB install

I just ordered a set of these speakers... Wondering if I need anything special, still new to the Z. Will I need spacers? If so what mounting diameter?

Focal 165VB has a depth-to-wall measurement of >2 ½”. That means you cannot mount this speaker in the Z’s stock door mount. Instead you need a door pod to mount this speaker.

In addition to the fitment solution, door pods provide much better sound. Your Focals will sound much better if they are mounted in a door pod.
