Thinking bout buying some 6.5" Focals, either the Polyglass or the polykevlar... would the mounting depth be OK?

Speaker depth sould not be a problem as long as you make up an MDF/Plywood spacer.

FOCAL can be quite bright due to their metal tweeter, I had some in my old golf and could not turn the volume up for long periods, switched to Seas and these are much smoother and more punchy than the focals.

I have a Focal V2 on my EK with crossover and tweeker. I think your problem is because you might don't have an Amp??

Never have the issue like you said and the sounds quality is superb.

um, I was using a genesis amp, the three series, probably some of the best amps money can buy, and was set-up well. focal are o.k but I do not like the syntheics sound the produce, far from natural, their home audio range are not up to sratch either.

Better than Diamond but not a patch on Seas Lotus Reference speakers, motel dome tweeters have a tendancy for brightness.

Would the Focal tweeters go in the standard positions where the originals are?

Ive had quite a bit of audio in the past which in one system inc 3 DLS A6 MONO amps powering 6 Diamond 12"M6s running at 3600 WATTS RMS between the 6, and DYN AUDIO comps up front, had a lot of Genesis gear and JL, but just want a simple system for the teg.
Already got a Focal 11" Sub & box, loking for a DLS A5 Amp, as these are second to none, or an Audison SRX 3, to power comps and sub, going for a nice SQ sound.

Heard the Focals and they sound good, the Seas arnt my cup of tea, also not prepared to shell out daft money on speakers this time.. :wink:

I've got my Sease Tweeters in the standard position and they work find, I'm also using the A6 for my sub (diamond) but genesis for the seas as I feel they are more musical than the DLS amps but each to their own.

I have a metal grill fitted over my tweeters for added protection as I would not want to leave them bare.
