2022 Subaru Forester
I just installed these in a '22 Subaru Forester Premium. My car has factory mids in the doors and tweeters in the dash run in parallel with the front doors. These Focals were basically drop in except that the tweeter involves using a 1.75" hole saw to flush mount them into a template for the dash openings. I put a single slab of dynamat on the outer door panel behind each speaker to help reduce vibrations. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how good these sound on the factory stereo with minimal sound deadening. They play plenty loud and they have sold bass down to 40 hertz. There is not much below that in my car because the factory head unit filters out everything below 40 hertz. I already ordered an amp and wiring kit, but I may reconsider if an amp is needed. I did turn down the treble a little because they're a little bright even when wired with the 'car' specific tweeter lead. Other than that they sound great with lossless music via apple carplay.
Pros: Sound great even with the weak factory head unit. No bulky crossovers to hide anywhere.
Cons: Mounting the tweeters could be challenging for some. If you have a 1.75 hole saw you're good to go. They can be a little bright but turning down the treble a little took the edge off and they sound great, especially with well recorded music.

Poorly tuned tweeters
Eric from Albany, NY on 5/9/2022
2022 Subaru Outback
Very disappointed in this set. The tweeters are *very* bright and harsh, and far too loud. The inline crossovers on the tweeters produce a cutoff frequency below 300hz, meaning that most of the midrange is also going through the tweeters. Listening to rock music, the hi hat is so strident that I couldn't turn the volume up very much at all without piercing my eardrums. I'll be returning these and looking for an alternative.

I put these speakers in my 2022 Subaru Forester. They were driven by the stock head unit and a 60W RMS aftermarket amp. I tried a set of Kicker KSC speakers first but was disappointed with the overall balance of sound across the frequency range. The Focals were a huge improvement over the Kickers, with deep rich voice reproduction, precision at all frequencies, and really nice attacks on acoustic strings and ride cymbals. I wouldn't call this a high-end system at all, but for a relatively inexpensive set of car speakers I think the performance is excellent. Tweeter installation was super easy with the Metra 82-3016 brackets and the hole saw I bought.
Pros: Even performance across frequency range Rich voice reproduction Clarity and separation
Cons: Could benefit from a more seamless integration in sound between the 6x9 and the tweeter

Fantastic OEM Replacement
Crutchfield customer from CINCINNATI, OH on 4/1/2022
2019 Ford Explorer
Superb upgrade from my anemic factory speakers in my fifth gen Ford Explorer. Paired with the Focal ICU 165s in the rear doors, I can actually hear the full range of my music again! The power from the OEM Sony amp is more than adequate to push these speakers; no need to work them as hard. It is truly an ideal upgrade without having to drop serious cash on a full amp/sub overhaul. The highs are clear and not at all too bright despite an aluminum tweeter. Great low-end and mid-bass as well. Not even broken in they sound great!
Pros: Clear highs, mid and low-end frequency response. Great for all genres of music. Surprisingly loud compared to OEM speakers using factory amp. Excellent all-around component speaker.
Cons: The recommended Metra 6x9 speaker adapter did not fit. Half inch too thick for my Explorer door panels. Had to get a custom adapter built. Not sure why Crutchfield suggests this adapter as an add-on for my vehicle. Tweeter install needs to be custom fit. Crutchfield does warn about this, but it's fairly complicated for a noob installer. (However for the price point and overall sound, well worth it.)

Love the speakers the upgrade is amazing I have some tips on installing them definitely definitely do the six by nines in the front doors of the 2018 Dodge Ram Crew Cab quad cab the six by nines fit easily just use the black spacers and doubling up on the bottom the tip the speaker out at the bottom they still fit perfect in the door panel and no obstructions on the back of the magnet
Pros: Sound amazing
Cons: Maybe you pay a little more for these but they sure sound clean

These things are fantastic direct replacements for my F150 because of the inline crossovers. They have high sensitivity which works great with the factory power. Perfect fit. Very noticeable sound quality improvement especially combined with some deadening material. I'm always blown away by Focal products.
Pros: Crystal clear with some surprisingly noticeable bass

Better living through Focal
Thomas from FORT COLLINS, CO on 9/14/2021
2022 Subaru Outback
Recommended without hesitation. I put these in a 2022 Outback Wilderness to replace the factory speakers. This is the third car I've put Focal Integration speakers in (so I'm a fan) but this 6x9 configuration, in this car, is really an amazing transformation. So good. The Integration series is the perfect compromise of high resolution and high efficiency. Factory head units drive these well, and you'll get a 2-5db bump (at the same volume level) over most factory speakers. Your amp goes further!
Pros: High efficiency, high resolution Classy tweeter mounting solutions No crossover box to mount Strong value
Cons: Nothing at this price

Focal speaker upgrade in Lexus GX460
Crutchfield customer from Fayetteville, GA on 8/22/2021
These sound great. Clear and crisp with nice bass punch. Plenty of power for these with my factory stereo head unit. Really sounds great with the songs on my iPhone.
Pros: DIY install was easy for the woofer with adapter rings and Toyota wiring harness kit.
Cons: Tweeters required modification to the factory bracket. No to complicated but did require some effort and soldering to reused factory wiring harness. Worth the effort.

This is my first experience with Focal speakers and I am in awe. Never did I think they could put out this much bass using a base system stock head unit. I'm sure they would sound even better with an amp.
Pros: Amazing sound and bass using a stock head unit
Cons: They like the volume turned up to sound good (low amperage of stock head unit).

I really like the pairing of the install mounts with the speakers-it makes it better value and certainly made the install far easier. I chose this system based on its frequency response and efficiency and the experience I've had in the past with their home speakers. I knew I needed a 2way component system with the efficiency up in the high 90's if they were going to ever be satisfactory with a factory head. The tweeters were a little more hastle than I anticipated to put in but it wasn't their fault it was the way the dash was designed. All in all I'm very pleased how it came out, no one can see them, and after straightening out the ridiculous eq curve in the head, I know they'll give me many years of enjoyment.
Pros: Good efficiency, Great sound , Easy to install, Worth the money.
Cons: none

Andy from San Antonio, TX on 12/29/2020
2016 Ford F-150 XLT
Really, Really wanted to like these, sounded great at first, but am on my second pair and now these are having issues. Sound out of one of them is just awful after 1 year in my truck, cannot see anything on a visual inspection, but something is wrong with it for sure. Since I had another pair that developed a tear very quickly I just cannot recommend. I don't even push that many watts, 25-35 rms. Going to have to try some other brand, but for this much money they should last much longer.
Pros: Sound great at first
Cons: 2 pair now malfunctioned.

Unbeatable quality.
Mike from Seattle,Wa on 9/4/2020
These are the Best quality sound and materials are durable. I've written a review of the 570 5x7 coaxial and listed everything I have refer to that for my system. But I have these 6x9s in 100 htz for my crossover on a -24 slope. I have my eq q fair 1:35. These speakers are so nice and are hands down going to deliver satisfaction for even tough critics. Unbeatable for the cost no other brand can provide even close to what focal is rocking at affordable prices. Get these. Dont even think about it. You'll be more impressed than you could believe
Pros: Too many to list
Cons: No cons. Just be safe to not over power them. They're very efficient

Great package, immense upgrade over factory.
Andrew from Newbury Park, CA on 5/5/2020
2016 Ford F-150 XLT
You can't even compare these speakers to the factory speakers they replaced. Even using the existing head unit with no additional amplifier they get loud and stay clear. I understand what other reviewers mentioned with regards to the tweeters being bright. I have the impression that part of it is just having never heard certain frequencies with the previous speakers (and sometimes just the quality of the recording being played)! Ultimately with a little EQ adjustment got them to a good balance and am very impressed. Installation was ok for the woofers, but I had to splice / solder the in-line crossover to the Crutchfield supplied speaker harness which made it less straightforward than I expected. The tweeters were a whole different story and were difficult to install, much more to do with the A-pillar mount used in my F-150, which resulted in my having to MacGyver together some seriously flexible mounting brackets in order to get them to fit behind the factory grille. These speakers would definitely benefit from more power with an amp - but that is a project for the future! Overall so far very satisfied with the purchase.
Pros: Loud and clear.
Cons: None

These speakers perform so much better than my stock 6x9's. I can't even begin to describe the difference. I can literally hear parts of the music I have never heard before in my car. They are a bit on the bright side, so you will have to adjust your EQ accordingly. Other than that, no complaints here.
Pros: Easy install, great sound quality.
Cons: A little bright in the tweeter.

Crutchfield customer from Escondido, CA on 12/30/2018
I have a 2014 Ram 2500 and these fit in the front doors perfectly with the spacers that came with them. I also made my own tweeter mounts out of Lexan that you can buy at Home Depot using my old infinity reference 3 1/2 inch speakers as a template. I used the display wire to hook up the tweeters and according to focal that brings the tweeters down 3db. I also installed focal ISC 690's in the rear doors and sound dampened all of my doors and the back wall of my cab. All of these speakers sound amazing I find that I no longer have to turn the volume up so high to get great sounding music everything blends very well. My dash speakers no longer dominate the music in my truck. I'm powering these speakers with the kicker PRAMCQ13 it has a 50x4 channel amp and a 200 watt amp and sub.
Pros: Great sound music and they fit my front doors perfectly.
Cons: I haven't found any yet.

I was looking for speakers that sounded better then my Polk MMs without breaking the bank. I was able to go with 6x9s in my 2018 silverado. They are not hooked up to an amp yet and still made a HUGE improvement. They even have an adequate amount of base for most people. I will still be adding an amp and JL Stealbox because I'm not in the most people category :) I can't believe were this cheap for Focals which makes me really curious how the higher end Focals sound. As always, Crutchfield delivers on amazing service and typically provides all the necessary parts and instruction for the install.
Pros: Smooth accurate sound, decent base, easy to install tweaters in other areas like pillars, dash or factory locations because they have separate inline crossovers.
Cons:
