Are the speakers the same in a 6R and a 6C?

Post by Botanic »

I have plans of replacing the original speakers in my 6C from 2017.
I have found a few model specific speakers for Polo 6R. Will they fit on a 6C the same way as in a 6R?
For example these: http://www.car-hifi-radio-adapter.eu/en ... grade.html

Did WV fit the same speakers in 6C as they did in the 6R?

Thank you for the reply!

Any suggestions on which speakers to go for?

Does it make a noticeable difference changing the rear speakers?
Since the inside of the car is so small, I suspect that replacing the front speakers will make the most difference.

I have Focal IS 165 VW in the front doors and A-pilar. Focal IC 165 VW in the rear doors. A lot of Dynamat in the doors. Dynamate sound attenuation in the doors is important! I also have Match PP62DSP with sub. All this plays well. (Some trim of the doors is necessary due to the fact that the Focal speakers have longer strokes than the original ones from VW.)

VikingGTI, that looks impressive. Was it easy to fit the speakers? Did you have to cut/modify the A-pillar for the tweeters?
Where in the car do you have the Match PP62DSP?

Did you try the Match PP62DSP with the original speakers or the Focal speakers without the DSP, which one does the most magic?

I have a feeling that this will end up getting a lot more expensive than I had initially planned.

The speakers are plug and play. Must drill out the pump nails. The amplifier got plenty of space behind the main unit. Did not try the amplifier with original speakers. Remember that Focal speakers need a run-in time of 50 hours or more to sound correct.

16,5 cm both rear and front.
You can see it on the link at the top, or if you google for the Focal speakers that VikingGTI has.
