Default could use a little help..Stereo

Hi everyone, new used Audi.. had a few but 2018 S6 2hrs old. Using bose head piece, Zen v to dsp pre-amp etc... The question is "speaker depth or the lack thereof, of the 3 inch mid range(in the door) the attempt is focal flax component ...will the 3 inch mid range fit. in a quality install? cutting? move on? different combination? is there no mounting room. Idea is stock appearance and nothing new attached to beam structures.. OEM area only.. I apologize ahead of time if wrong form or category and how many times this might have been asked. Like to do this once. Thank you. Will attempt sub next stage. accepting all non violent intrusions there as well

Default Bose eq.

Not sure about the depth but crutchfield is usually a good reference for such things. The issue I would be concerned with is driving the new speakers with the Bose head unit. They are usually EQ’ed for the oem (bought from Bose) speakers. It is in the head unit or the amps. If it’s in the amps you would need to replace it with a “normal” unit to have the speaker perform as desired. Hope this helps.

Factory midrange location in the door is not acceptable for aftermarket replacement. You would have to cut the door skin to make it work, which is not recommended because the door is a lousy location for a midrange anyway.

Build custom A pillar pods and install your mid and tweeter there. Much better locations for sound quality, plus it will not involve cutting any metal. You can buy replacement A pillar trim for a few hundred bucks.
