Focal Performance PS 165FX

I was searching for great sound and I found it in these speakers. Amazing, amazing mids and highs. Mid bass is very present and full / robust sounding. No muddiness at all. Mids and especially highs sound ridiculously good, and aren't harsh at all, which I was scared of with this being a metal tweeter. I had Polk MMs, infinity kappas, morel tempo ultras, all in recently. They each sounded good and different, but didn't sound amazing - which is what I wanted. These focals sound amazing with all types of music. Metal, rap, country, Latin, you name it and it'll sound great. I personally love metal most, and the guitar, bass, and drums all sound thick, beautiful, and crisp with these.

These are the best 6.5 inch speakers I have ever heard in a car. Don't let the fact that they are the older model deter you from getting them. I also have the new Flax Evo and these sound as good if not better. The build quality is also top notch on these speakers.

Amazing Sound

It took me 3 weeks to prep my car for install, so worth it. Just got my 10th Gen Si back from installer and astonished at the sound. These Focals' are as crisp as I've heard in a car. Replaced my factory speakers, kept the factory deck. These are powered by JL RD 400 and it works well together. I only have around 5 hours into these Focals. I will tell you that they are getting better every time I jump in. I rounded the system off with ICU 100'sin the rear deck and a RE single 12 running off a JBL Stadium at 4 ohms (750). Just amazed at the clarity these speakers put out. Be aware these speakers can be harsh/shrill out of the box. As I mentioned above, they are getting better and warmer as I break them in. I will be gentler on these for the first 20 hours or so and open them up. At this point I am very impressed with the overall sound in my car. Hope this helps.

The sound from these speakers is incredible. I have them paired with an amplifier 80 watts per channel and I couldn't be happier. Super clean sound.

Great Purchase

Purchased to replace a set of Morel Temp Ultra 602 powered through a AudioControl DM-608 and JL RD400/4. Great overall speaker combination - mids are significantly warmer with crisp highs that are not overpowering. Well worth the money.

Worth every penny

Easily the best sounding speakers i have ever had. Amazing mid bass response and great mid range. The tweeter is very bright but it is what I prefer. Any good head unit or DSP can mellow the tweeter if you prefer.

Excellent speakers

These are some awesome sounding speakers. Ditched the passive crossovers and went active crossovers with an Audiocontrol DSP. After some fine tuning of each individual tweeter and woofer, the music coming from these is amazing.

Great speakers, not great adapter plate

Really love these speakers. I have owned other focals in the past have never been disappointed with their performance. That being said I'm a bit disappointed with the adapter plates crutchfield sent with them. Customer service is great and the order arrived on time and well packaged.

Very Nice! Very Awesome! PS 165FX

For about 5 years I had the Focal PS 165v and I enjoyed every musical mile that I drove with them. I was really really bummed out when one of the woofers and tweeters were damaged by a mistake I made. After I replaced the the old set with the PS 165FX, the sound is so nice that I almost forgot what I was so bummed out about.

Good but not great

Highs are high and lows are low but lacking on the mids. I had k2 in my last vehicle and these do not compare. If I had the chance I would have gone with the 165F3 the 3 way set. I hoped these would be close to my k2 but a little disappointed. Costly mistake. Good set of speakers but need to have a good eq to set exact frequencies.

The hype is real! Any other speaker just sounds like a speaker, these Focal speakers are a portal into a new dimension of sound. They are incredibly detailed and crisp with beautiful imaging, they really bring any music to life.

Sound Quality

I have to say, these components do sound amazing. I pulled out Alpine R series components which I thought could not be beat, and honestly in there price range at 300.00 they probably cant as they do sound very good. If your looking to go to the next level, then yes you need to spend the extra cash! The Focals are at another level, they sound amazing, deeper mid bass, more prononced midrange, tweeters are very detailed and less fitiging than the alpines. I didnt bi amp these and they rock! Im running a Arc Audio XDI amp on these at 85WX2 and they are just breathtaking to say the least!! I have been into car audio for over 20 years and have heard plenty of systems, if you want extream sound quality, this is the ticket. Anyone that says different, its a problem with the install, not the speakers.

These are the best sounding speakers i have ever heard, yes the price is a little more than some but still competitive. I actually put these in my Audi a8l and they are crystal clear i just wish companies knew the size of speakers that were in my car before i purchased them other than that i am very happy

Don't buy these if you can't afford to put them in everything

These things have ruined all other speakers for me. I'm not joking - everything else sounds terrible now. It doesn't matter what kind of sound you throw at these things, they handle it like a beast - and I don't just mean music. Focal makes home theater towers (Focal ARIA) with a spinoff of the F3's (same as these FX but with a midrange) and they charge over 3 grand for them - so I built my own with some F3's for a few grand less and my klipsch towers are now in the garage for the forseeable future. Not in the garage at my workbench just like - in a corner - because they aren't worthy. Thanks!

Cleanest sounding component set!

If you truly want the BEST of the BEST sound, don't need to look any further. I have four sets of these PS 165 FX Focals in my 7-3 Super Duty, and man does it sound super crisp and loud in that truck! Now, you may say I went to the extreme in having two amps to push two component sets... but if you want clean crisp LOUD sound with zero distortion then that's how it's done. I have each set of components powered by the sexy JL Audio 300/4 Slash amps. The two amps push these four components sets, that being said it allows you to control each speaker and EQ so if I want the highs up louder or quieter channel a&b on each amp controls the front tweeters and I can tweak each individual speaker to create the best optimal sound!!!! The good thing with these two JL Slash amps is they put just the right watts out, total watts these speakers can take as a pair is 160w and this amp is feeding it 150w combined which gives it just what it needs. In comparison with the other two Focal sets above this, they offer to much tweeter and highs, these give just the right amount, and a lot better priced as well !!!!!

Incredible Speakers Natural Sound

I was hesitant at first because the price was so high. I have a pair of these on a jb xd3v2 with a jl shallow tw12 running off an alpine ine928hd in a prius. Because my stock inverter has only about 30a of headroom, I felt the flax was my only option because it's sensitivity level was very high. These speakers are amazing. Vocals, electronica, guitars, classical are silly smooth and clear. Don't let that 80 watt advertised figure fool you. These things play louder than my other cars running twice that power using less efficient drivers. Beautifully balanced and well worth the price. I've had 3 other cars running image dynamics forever but I'm now a focal flax ps convert.

Not worth the money

I think the components i purchased are lemons. The grills dont stay on the speakers. The grills on the tweater are not a snug fit. The tweeters are next to impossible to turn into the holder. I had to return a tweeter for exchange because it wasnt coming on. It was exchanged no questions asked. Now i think i have a problem with my crossover because one of the tweeters keeps cutting out and i narrowed it down to that. It would help to have some type of indicater light on the crossover so that you could tell if its on and working. I dont notice a difference in sound when i adjust the settings for the tweeters. A slight difference w/woofer. I just expected a little more for what I paid. And yes i have went back three times over my wiring and it is wired correctly.

Crystal Clear

These speakers are amazing. I first heard them in my buddies 2014 Chevy 2500 and I bought them a week later. If you've tried various "nice" component speaker systems over the years and want to take a big leap to the next level, get these Focals. They will blow you out of the water with how unbelievably crystal clear you can listen to your music, and still crank it. Voices from the tweeters are so smooth and clear, non piercing like others I've experienced. The mids are beefy, they feel like a small subwoofer. I did have to make an adapter plate to adapt to a 6x8 hole but also to clear the window actuator on my F250. The crossovers are a true work of art wow! I will say though they are sizable, wont fit in my dash or doors so make sure to think ahead. Expensive, yes. Worth it? Absolutly

Very clear sound system. Easy install. Crutchfield was very helpful with recommending the correct setup for my application. Have a xd700/5 powering these beautifully. This is a sleeper setup in my element (modifications are needed for 165's in door panels) Crutchfield has a customer for life with their superior customer service
