I thought about it, and even measured my 2015 and there is no way the Kenwood would fit mine. The depth of the pocket the speaker fits in is 36mm (Kenwood spec is 43mm) and it is slightly smaller diameter at the bottom than the top so a large magnet would also affect fit. Maybe if you had a mounting ring to raise the speaker up a bit, but it would have to be just enough to get it to fit but not so much to interfere with the grille. The stock Bose is only 27mm in depth as it is very low profile and using neodymium magnet.

Thanks...I looked on Best Buy and they no longer have the 1065 Kenwood spkrs, but the 1066. And although they don't post a good pic of the height, they appear to be somewhat shallower according to the specs listed. . I will go to the store and check it out I think.

Yeah the KFC-1066S it is still 43mm deep so I don't think it will fit.At least not based on spec and measurement. Might be worth a trial fit though.

Does anyone know if this center speaker is still problematic (whether buzzing or overpowering) in the latest C7's? I have a 2018 A6 with the Bose system, and I don't hear buzzing from the sound but I'm not particularly impressed by this system! I'm wondering if I would like the sound more if this speaker was disconnected....
It'd be shocking if this was still a problem though, 6 years later...

My Bose system is only a problem when listening to a phone call on BT where the center speaker sounds terrible.

A7 option?
Has as anyone found a suitable speaker for the a7? I have a 2014 and constant buzzing
I came across this thread while trying to solve the same buzzing center speaker problem in my 2013 S7.
I bought the Kenwood KFC-1065S speakers, but when I removed the trim and the PoS Bose speaker I discovered that the installation space was not deep enough by at least 1/2".
Of course the A7/S7 dash could be different, but wanted to check if you had to modify the space at all to fit in your A6.
