FocalCar Audio Performance PS165V1 17cm Component Speaker System

The media could not be loaded. Quality speaker from a quality brand. If you are looking for POP or ROCK or similar style speaker, this is not your choice. It has a non-colored sound field, so the quality of the music source determines the musical experience. If you control the music experience with EQ, you get exactly what you want to hear. It can play with frequencies very nicely and delicately. You need the amplifier, otherwise you won't be able to perform at them best.

Focal are one of the best sound quality you can get as i have the same speakers in a differnt car of mine . If you want quality then buy these focalsThey are on a competition level . Cant wait to put them in this car of mine

Speakers are just brilliant! I love every aspect of them. Separate xovers for tweeter and midbass allowed me not to rewire as I installed tweeters to the A- pillar factory position and midbass in the door as usual.Sound is very clear and detailed. Tweeters playing very high and very clear. There are 3 settings of LPF and 3 different settings of the antinuator on crossover for tweeter.Midbasses are not generating huge amount of punch , but delivering WAY more bass than stock speakers. To add a kick I installed Kenwood underseat subwoofer.Speakers are louder compare to stock even without amplifier.To repeat - I am VERY pleased of sound quality produced by this speakers.My setup :Skoda Karoq with Columbus (MIB2.5) without sound system. + relatively cheap DSP with amplifier.Sound deadening of the doors is the MUST ( actually even factory speakers will benefit from this).Do not use 128kbps MP3 to measure quality of speakers , use CD or FLAC

Very Good base and the treble blew me away i had no idea that cymbols were even there in my standard fiesta. I will say that i think that these speakers in my opinion are just slightly missing something in the middle, not quite got the wow factor on some vocals although not terrible i feel that i will need to get some rear speakers to help resolve it.echoing what the other guy said you will need to deaden the doors with dynomat or something, i bought vibe anti vibe kit and well thats just not going to cut it, i am planning a complete overhaul as when i set it to max even coming out of my old 70w per channel panasonic head unit u can actually watch the window seals vibrating when windows are down. For now i just listen on a low volume or set a hpf to cut the base at high volume.One other small gripe i couldn't get the tweeters out the casing without damaging it so i couldn't use factory location in the door, but i have overcome this obstacle by wiring in the dash instead.

I've installed about 5 sets of different door speakers in my VW T5 and none produced bass like these Focal PS165. When I went from the original Bosch door speakers to a set of MB Quart I noticed a big drop in the fullness of the sound, it really thinned it out. Then I went for a set of uprated VW door speakers from a golf. The fulness was back but there was some loss in clarity. Long story short after several different speakers and much frustration a friend of mine (who's brother owns a car audio installation shop in Poland) suggested I try focal. However after speaking with his brother his suggestion changed to Morel.Due to the price of the Morel Tempo 6 in the UK I ended up buying a set directly from Israel where the factory is. However the Morels took over 3 weeks to arrive and with a planned holiday coming up I decided to try the Focal PS165. Glad I did, I was super impressed when I cracked them up for the first time. I was worried about the harshness of the treble with it having a metal dome tweeter however the Focals are smooth. What surprised me the most was the depth of the bass. The 16.5" woofers go almost as deep as my 10" sub-woofer when mounted and amped correctly. I am giving mine 60watt/channel through a really nice DLS amplifier and the focals push hard. In fact I'm finding it hard to control the bass in the doors now. The whole door starts vibrating even though I've mass loaded most of the panels. If I don't cross them over at 80Hz they go wild. Focal specs say they go down to 60Hz and this is certainly the case.If you can only accommodate front speakers these are all you'll need even without a sub. You will need a good high end head unit (Alpine, Kenwood or Pioneer) with high power output, or a decent amplifier. You'll also need to make sure your doors have plenty of Dynamat or similar and everything is bolted down firmly.I did have a chance to compare the focal PS165 with the Morel Tempo 6 and have to say there is not much difference. The focal have deeper bass and the Morels have a slightly smoother treble. However with both head units I've owned (Blaupunkt and Kenwood) the added treble of the focals was a bonus as both head units are very laid back. I have my focals paired to a Kenwood DNX7210BT and the sound is super smooth with plenty of body (rich and deep). I think this is the perfect match. I wanted to get a sound close to my mates Audi Bose system and I think I am now very close if not a tad better!

Not fitted yet. I am waiting for warmer weather. Component quality seems very good. However the cable length for the tweeters is much to short and the instruction leaflet is useless.

I had before Focal k2power, and focal performance speakers. The best speakers! Great sound, a few years playing without problems. and the purchased speakers from this seller, the tweeter stopped playing after 2 days, it is impossible to register the warranty by serial number, i.e. the seller sells the speakers WHICH DO NOT HAVE WARRANTIES.
