Features
Woofer: The Rockford Fosgate Prime R165 utilizes Mica injected polypropylene cone woofers, cold rolled steel baskets, and foam surrounds.
Tweeter: Each speaker features a 1/2" Mylar balanced dome tweeter. A semi-dome tweeter has a dome placed inside a cone; balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter. The low distortion Mylar material allows accurate reproduction of high frequencies for an open sound stage.
Mounting: The R165 will fit in in standard three-hole and four-hole 6-1/2 applications. They can also be easily mounted in 6-3/4 applications, but because the extra screw holes create an air leak in the larger opening, speaker baffles must be used.

I installed these in the rear doors of my 2012 Traverse. They sound good as a rear fill-in speaker. I have the Rockford R1652 component speakers up front and whole package sounds great driven by a 22w RMS HU. The supplied brackets fit good as well.
