Focal 165VB, need opinion

Yes, they will fit. The door speakers are 6.5". You'll have to do quite a bit of work to get the tweeters to fit, but that goes for anything other than stock.
They will definitely sound better than stock. A toilet paper tube and some bailing wire would sound better than stock.
You'll also need a spacer to pull the speakers out a little.

There are quite a few threads on here about this.

Thanks. I just want to make sure they will fit before I buy them. I will also search for the posts about these speakers. Thanks again.

Oh, would you say this is a good deal?

I looks like a real good deal. Most other sites, Crutchfield, ABT, etc are carrying for about $300.
I checked resellerratings.com and 6th Avenue has very good reviews.

I bought a Denon home stereo receiver from 6th Ave about six years ago. The price was right and the product performs as expected, so I wouldn't shy away from them. I suppose there is always a chance you'd get gray market gear, but my experience with them was good.

Thanks guys! I will pick up a set.
