Focal 165 CA1

audio craftsmaship at it's best

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!!

great sound

sound very good in my car. i have an amp hooked up for optimal performance. they are great. i just wish the tweeters worked as good. as i purchased them all on the same day

Focal 165 CA1

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.

Awesome for the price...

For $129, you can't beat them. I have had similar 6.5 in. speakers (Memphis Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Polk) and the Focals are a notch above others in the same price range. The highs are a bit "tinny" at times, but that is my only complaint.

2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab

I bought these speakers as an upgrade for my rear doors. They look great in the package and sound better than the $300 Alpine component set I have in the front doors. I have these running directly off an 18Wx4 Clarion NVX602 with no issues. I just wish Sonic had a Focal 6.5" component set to match! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!

One word of caution....Do not over tighten the mounting screws as the mounting ring on the speaker is plastic! I noticed the ring deforming as I was tightening the screws. Luckily I caught this and backed off a turn before damaging the speaker!!

Great clean sound with correct amplification

At first I was hesitant buying these because they were the "cost effective" line from Focal. Here we are 6 months later with a consistent 50 watts each on 4 of these speakers. I am very satisfied and would recommend them. I run an Alpine MRP-F450 on these with a 6 volt input and 3/4 gain to the amp. I do not listen to anything at low volume and I assure you these are clean on the vocals and I think they are really well balanced.

Clean Music - A+ Highs, A- Mids, and D for Lows

If your looking for bass, you need sub woofers. I have 2 sets of these focals installed and they produce wonderful highs...good mids and poor bass... Thats what you get from a 6" speaker. Just the power from your stock stereo (I have a Honda Accord) is not enough to power them and you will be severely disappointed. Once I installed a 5 channel amp to power these and a 10" sub. Quality was perfect. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to step up their quality of music.

Awesome Speakers

These speakers were a direct replacement for the awful OEM Subaru speakers in my 2013 wrx. Granted, the head unit is extremely under powered and pretty awful itself, but these speakers really made a difference. I also used RAAMmat vibration dampening and ensolite nice cancellation material. HUGE difference, I cant wait to put in a new head unit and hear them sing. FYI, I was able to pinch the tweeters in the stock locations if you remove the stock shroud piece. Mess around with it, you'll get them in there. I think the rainbow component speaker tweeters fit better, given the chance to do it again I'd give them a try. But these speakers are great for the price. Do your Subaru a favor and throw the stock junk out.

Amazing Sound

These speakers are likely the best I've ever owned. Very comparable to Boston Acoustics (I had a set in my last vehicle). On occasion, I'll play a certain song and it's like I forgot how awesome they are....and get all excited all over again. I have a JL 400, 4ch pushing them with a set of coax's up front. Very happy with the setup. I wouldn't do it differently

excellent

I had "massive" before buying focals and the difference is impressive!
