Description
Speaker for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Diameter: 165 mm.
Overview
This OEM-style 165 mm speaker is designed for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models and is often searched by OE numbers 9665245180, 6562AC or 6562X2. It provides direct-fit replacement for factory door and parcel shelf applications where the original 165 mm unit is used. The robust construction and correct mounting dimensions make it suitable for professional workshops and DIY mechanics who need a reliable, straightforward swap.

Fitment
Fits vehicles equipped with 165 mm factory speakers. Always check the original speaker size and mounting pattern when replacing units. Typical fitment includes rear and front door positions on the models listed in the technical information.
How It Works
The speaker converts electrical audio signals into sound via a cone driven by a voice coil in a magnetic field. In vehicle audio systems it reproduces midrange and mid-bass frequencies and, when installed in the correct location and enclosure, contributes to balanced sound staging. Correct polarity and secure connections are important for phase coherence and optimum performance.
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare tools: panel trim removal tools, cross and Torx screwdrivers, multimeter for polarity check.
- Disconnect the battery before starting to avoid shorts and accidental airbag deployment when removing trim panels.
- Carefully remove the door or parcel shelf trim using appropriate trim tools to avoid breaking clips.
- Unplug the speaker connector and note polarity (positive/negative) or mark wires before removal.
- Remove mounting screws, transfer any original gasket or damping material, and fit the new speaker into the same mounting position. Use original screws or equivalent to ensure correct compression of the gasket.
- Verify connector fit and polarity, then power the audio system briefly to test the speaker before reassembling the trim.
- When reinstalling the trim, ensure wiring is routed clear of moving parts and window channels to prevent pinching.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Age-related deterioration of the foam or rubber surround leading to cone separation and distortion.
- Water ingress or moisture causing corrosion of terminals or damage to the voice coil.
- Mechanical damage to the cone from improper removal or impact.
- Overdriving the speaker with excessive amplifier power causing voice coil burnout.
- Loose or corroded connectors causing intermittent sound or loss of channel.
Notes For Workshop Professionals And DIYers
This unit is typically sourced as a direct replacement and is commonly referenced by OE numbers 9665245180 / 6562AC / 6562X2. When replacing speakers in vehicles with factory amplifiers or active crossover systems, verify wiring and impedance compatibility before installation. Testing the speaker on the bench or via the car radio at low volume before final assembly reduces rework time. Keep original mounting hardware and gaskets where possible to maintain sealing and acoustic performance.
