Will focal tweeters fit stock, 04 coupe w/bose

Basically want to get some focal 165a1 not looking to spend much, anyways their doc's say the tweeter is 45mm (~1.77inches) with a 50mm bezel.

BTW: 04 coupe w/bose stereo

I want to know if this will fit in the stock tweeter location without modification. Don't really want to drill holes in any panels. I've search all over and found mostly sedan references but none specifically for the coupe, and really couldn't find any pictures.

Also anyone has any better suggestions for better budget components (less than 250) out there that you know with out a doubt fit w/out modification please post.

I mostly listen to trance and techo based, so i do like the bright sounds. Not really looking at MB Quart cuz i've heard quality has gone down and would rather not try.

Thanks
-Chris

Yes the 165A1 tweeters will drop in the stock locations with no modification what so ever. Have them in my coupe now, had no fitment issues. The main speakers will need a spacer built though, I used 3/4" MDF and modeled around the Bose speaker. Works just fine.

No mods needed, just remove the tweeter and install the new one. Simple and easy.
