About the Option Audio V-165
From our tech experts at CEN
The Option Audio V-165 is a 16.5cm plug-and-play 2-way component speaker set for Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat and MAN vehicles. Rated at 70W RMS with 91dB efficiency, it matches original connectors, shape and fixing points for a drop-in fit. The box contains two speakers, two 25mm silk dome tweeters, two wiring harnesses and mounting rivets.
Who it suits
This set suits drivers wanting a cleaner, more detailed sound from their factory head unit without cutting wires or adapting brackets. The 3 Ohm impedance is matched to VW group factory systems, so no additional amplifier is required. For rear door positions on many of the same models, see the Option Audio V-165X coaxial speakers.
Our tech experts advise
Check the compatibility list carefully, as the V-165 fits front positions only on most listed models. Each wiring harness includes a yellow cable loop; disconnecting it attenuates the tweeter by 3dB for a warmer sound balance. For a professional fit, car audio installation is priced per vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Which cars does the V-165 fit?
A: It fits many VW, Skoda, Seat and MAN models, including the VW Golf 6 and 7 (front and rear), Polo, T-Roc, up and e-up, T6.1 (front), Amarok, Crafter 2 and MAN TGE. See the full list in the description.
Q: Can I turn down the V-165 tweeters?
A: Yes. Disconnecting the yellow cable loop attenuates the tweeter by 3dB.
Q: Are fixings included with the V-165?
A: Yes. Rivets are included for easy mounting, along with 2 wiring harnesses.
