I am in process of upgrading the Bose stereo in an 05 Infiniti G35 Sedan and before purchasing the front speakers, I wanted to see if anyone here had experience installing component speakers that would be able to tell me if the magnet on the Focal Kevlar 6.5" 2-way component series will fit in the factory position without customization. I am trying to keep everything looking original, but my local audio shop is concerned that the Focal magnets on the driver will be too large to fit correctly in the door.

Does anyone have experience/knowledge concerning this install and if so what will work for the front speakers in order to keep the original look? Any input is appreciated...

 

I have a 2004 Coupe. The space for the fronts is huge (nearly 6 3/4" diameter and probably 4-5 inch deep till you hit the window (if you put it down). I don't think the front is an issue.

The rear only leaves you 2.5" depth MAX.

I think the Focals will fit fine. My Diamond Audio magnets are huge also but not deep (as are the crossovers humongous) and I got it all to fit without issue.

 

The approximate depth is 3" in the '05 sedan. Although thats nothing that a simple MDF ring couldnt change. Your door panel will still fit back on just fine.
