Replacing front speakers

Featured Replies

I know this potentially belongs in the Audio sub-forum, but I've put it in here because I want to make sure I get the right speakers for my specific model. One of the door speakers has blown on my 2017 Octavia Estate, it's a 1.5 SE Technology.

 

Can anyone confirm that the Focal IS 165 VW is the right speaker set to replace it with? I've searched on here and found a couple of threads, and by the looks of this one -

 - I think I'd rather leave it to someone who knows what they're doing, which means buying the speakers myself and finding a reputable car audio fitter.

 

...so I just wanted to check these were the right ones to buy, I hope that's OK!

I'm sure I've seen  a thread where someone fitted these exact speakers. 

 

The good thing about them is they have a surround that has a lip to direct water into the door and out the drains. I remember in the thread they fitted other speakers with with aftermarket spacers that let water into the cabin!

 

I still have some of the two way 165mm Focals from my old Seat, they were excellent, a good choice for sure. I was going to put them in at some point, but didn't as i'm happy with the sound (always biased to only the fronts though). 

 

As a guide, I was quoted around £400 a few years back to change the fronts to some component Pioneers with some additional sound deadening on the door skins, dynamat etc.  

 

Good luck.
