It’s Time for Better Sound
Tired of listening to the tired, old speakers that are in your vehicle? Then we’d suggest looking at the Focal 165 AS 6-1/2” component speakers as replacements. Once the Focal speakers are installed, you’ll realize how bad those other speakers were. You’ll enjoy detailed high-frequency response, engaging mid-range reproduction, and solid-sounding bass. Maybe your car doesn’t have component speakers installed from the factory? No worries – the 165 AS kit comes with both flush-mount and surface-mount adapters for you to use. The phase plug that has been planted into the center of each woofer helps improve sound quality by elimination standing waves that can disrupt that perfect sound from reaching your ears. Get the sound that you want without compromising!
Dual Fiberglass Structure (DFS®) Woofer Cones
The 165 AS speaker kit is unique for quite a few reasons, but one thing that sets it apart are the Dual Fiberglass Structure (DFS®) woofer cones. We all know that fiberglass is a very tough, but lightweight material), so it’s not surprising that Focal uses it to help create some solid bass performance. Keeping the woofer lightweight also reduces the amount of power required to adequately power the 165 AS system. Only up to 60 watts of continuous power is asked for to have these speakers sound their very best. You don’t have sink tons of money into a large, ultra-powerful amplifier to drive these component speaker… Unless you want to! We won’t stop you.
Inverted Dome Tweeters
If you look at pictures of the Focal 165 AS speaker system, you may notice that the tweeters don’t exactly resemble your traditional tweeters. That’s because they’re inverted dome tweeters. Focal is one of the few companies that employs this technology and they have mastered it. An inverted dome tweeter will disperse the high frequencies in a wider pattern so you get to hear more of the nuances in the music. The more detail that emerges makes the music sound more natural and life-like which, in turn, will give you a closer connection to the music. Those long drives will seem like a walk in the park.
Tunable Crossovers
Because cars, trucks, and SUVs can be rather uncompromising in speaker placement as well as using materials that can reflect or absorb the sound you want to hear, Focal uses crossovers that can help improve your listening experience. If you pop the plastic cover off of one of the crossovers, you will see a switch that allows you to change the level at which the tweeters are playing (-6, -3, or 0dB). Being able to dial this in to the ideal position lets you get the perfect sound pretty much regardless of your vehicle’s constraints.
