well i already got polyglass in my doors ... and yes i will be sound deadening it as part of the installation ... i want 6.5's ... the polyglass were a bitch to fit but it fit ... i don't know the depth of the utopias ... i have a feeling that it will be bigger and if it is then i dont' think they will fit ... as the glass were quite a sqeeze ...

My Focal bochure says both mount in a 142mm hole and the mounting depth of the 165W (utopia) is 78mm compared to 69mm for the 165V (Polyglass).

It doesn't state the diameter of either magnet but from the pictures I'd say they are about the same with the Utopia maybe 5mm bigger.

i found i had to create a spacer, and take the factory grills off, and hack some of the door trim off (to widen the holes to clear the rubber on the utopias), they extend a little too much for the door trim :(

only problem is now trying to cover the speakers, passanger side is easy, fairly flat but drivers side is too curved :) (upwards toward s the window controls etc) sound awesome though!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
