I tested the Focals on the driver side vs the Kenwoods on the passenger side in my 2001 Ford F-150 XL single cab truck. Setup is a Sony MEX-GS820BT high power headunit (still isn't enough power for these speakers), Sony Xplod XM-1252GTR amplifier (bridged powering subwoofer) and a 12" JL Audio W0v3 subwoofer. The Focals offer a way wider sound stage, more bass, crisper tweeters and a more airy/lifelike midrange compared to the Kenwoods which have a more focused, close together sound. The Focal tweeters are not ear piercingly bright but do offer sparkling highs. Midrange is full and present. Woofers do offer decent bass. The physical difference in height from the Focals being in the dash vs the Kenwoods in the door is pretty dramatic. I now get a front row concert sound. Should be even better once I put some real power to them. Now are you going to be blown away by these Focal speakers? Well that depends on how crummy your current speakers are. To me for $100 you can't beat them especially since the tweeter/midrange come in their own pods. PROS: Great sound for entry level upgrade. Plenty of speaker wire is included (way to much for my application). CONS: The tweeter/midrange have no mounting holes (I'm just using glue dots to hold them in place). Crossovers are a bit cheap in build quality but do have mounting holes. 2 included grilles are kinda flimsy but do the job but I won't be using them.

Only the really high-end speakers are made in Italy. These speakers are definitely Focals. ## Frequently Bought Together - Focal RIP165S3 S3 6.5 Inch - Metra 72-4568 Speaker Harness for Select 1988-UP GM Vehicles,Black - RECOIL RCI66 100% Oxygen Free Copper 6ft 6-Channel RCA Audio Cable, Twisted Pair with Noise Reduction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/61742677-focal-rip165s3-s3-6-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/61742677-focal-rip165s3-s3-6-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
