Thank you. Because as you know the OEM deck speakers have little or no soundI replaced the rear deck speakers in my '18 GT Premium with some Focal two-way speakers and it made a big difference in overall sound quality. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.
RCX-165. If you buy from Crutchfield they supply the necessary harness and bracket to mount the new speakers. It is a pain as mentioned above but took me less than 2 hrs start to finish, and I’m not an avid car stereo installer.BTW: Which Focals did you install?
The Focals are louder than the factory speakers. Aside from the better sound quality, I noticed it also reduced the emphasis off the front center dash speaker, which was too loud compared to the oem rear speakers.Thank you. Because as you know the OEM deck speakers have little or no sound
I went on an purchased a set of Focal 165CA1 SG 2 for rear deck speakers. I Don’t know the difference these and the ones you got, but they should work just fine. For my bass.RCX-165.

A lot of amps can accept high-level inputs negating the need for LOCs however they can’t overcome the bass roll-off inherent in the stock speakers unless they account for that like the Audio Control Epicenter. The accubass feature in the LC2i will help a bit with that though. You should have plenty of pound nowI went on an purchased a set of Focal 165CA1 SG 2 for rear deck speakers.

- I am installing this week end, a set of Dual Kicker Comp VX10 2 ohm woofers and a Kicker CXA 1200.1 Amp. They said I didn't have to use a Line Out Converter, but I went on and bought a LC2i to run with my system. I just couldn't justify a $6500 complete stereo system so I replaced my Door speakers last winter, Disconnected my Center dash speaker. I think this high quality Bass will give me what I am wanting. Thanks for your help

Did you have to do any cutting to install those? Crutchfield says the do not fit as they are 6.75 inches.I went on an purchased a set of Focal 165CA1 SG 2 for rear deck speakers. I Don’t know the difference these and the ones you got, but they should work just fine. For my bass.

That's great info, thanks! I've unplugged the center speaker and changed the fade to push everything to the front of the car, and it's 100% better. Did you cut the rear deck panel at all, poke holes in it?RCX-165. If you buy from Crutchfield they supply the necessary harness and bracket to mount the new speakers.

Call or chat with one of their techs. It may not be drop-in, but if you're resourceful, you can make it work.Did you have to do any cutting to install those? Crutchfield says the do not fit as they are 6.75 inches.
I will make them fit perfectly, I hope. I will post how the install went. I am also installing a 2 Fared Capacitor to prevent battery alternator issues.Did you have to do any cutting to install those? Crutchfield says the do not fit as they are 6.75 inches.
Thanks, I'm sure I can make it work, I'm just not willing to make any changes to the vehicle that I can't reverse. I'm fine with putting holes in the deck cover, I'll buy a new one and cut that, keep the original somewhere. I will not cut sheet metal. Thanks!Call or chat with one of their techs.
