I have these speakers in my car right now, and they are absolutely amazing. Very clear and every note is heard. I love these speakers and i'm very satisfied with them, I wouldn't recommend any other pair at this price range.

I got these per my installers suggestion and have not regretted my purchase. Sound reproduction is accurate and crisp. By far a better product than Polk Audio speakers that I have used in the past.

Honestly my friend has infinity speakers and these blow them out of the water. The clarity is phenomenal. These speakers throw out crystal clear highs and mids. I had Rockford Fosgate p165's before these and i LOVE rockford but they are simply no match to these Focals. I will only recommend these to people looking to upgrade speakers.

After listening to multiple brands including JL, Boston, Alpine, Kenwood, and all Focals I decided on this set. The Focal lineup beat all other brands hands down. The Focal 165A1 set are the second best sq set following only the 30th anniversary. These have more punchy mid bass than the poly glass set, and dramatically better sq than the new entry lineup.

Truly the best sounding, most complete, warm sounding speaker you will hear anywhere near this price.
I have a set run off deck power, and continue to be impressed with the quality of sound

I have these in my '99 Maxima's front doors and they complement the Focal 165VB's I have in the rear perfectly. They handle everything I send them with great reproduction of sound.

I have these in the rear doors of my 2013 Mazda CX-5 being pushed by a Polk PA D5000.5 from the OEM head unit through an Audiocontrol LC6i. They sound great, install was easy and these have great mids and bass. I have all the filters on the amp turned off and these hit down to about 40hz and sound great, never bottom out or distort. The tweeters swivel to help adjust the imaging and build quality seems top notch.

I went to buy some more Infinity Kappas for my motorhome and the salesman at C****** said to give a listen to the Focal's. I did. I then went home and found a smokin deal at Sonic and saved $75.00!!

Excellent speakers. Very bright upper mids and highs. Detail is definitely there. These are a great selection for the beginning audiophile. For those that like speakers that will get loud, these will and they will do it well.

Sound quality is there, very bright but not overly harsh highs. Mids are very lacking off-axis, these speakers beam terribly... not ideal for factory location. These speakers are a little large in diameter for a 6.5" but they mounted up without too much issue. These will get loud with relative ease, but don't expect any bass or much midrange from them when you're pushing them...

Had them for about a year when one of them blew... NOT impressed with the build quality.
