About the Focal EC 165K

Meticulous coaxial design and construction

Focal has improved the design of the their signature inverted dome tweeter for even more impactful highs.
Meticulous coaxial design and construction
Handmade in France, the Elite K2 Power Series EC 165K 2-way car speakers are the culmination of Focal's passion for perfect sound, exceptional standards, and technological advances. Focal's sound gurus engaged in intensive listening sessions designing this line of speakers so that you hear uncanny realism, sweeping dynamics, and breathtaking depth in your music.
A classic woofer with a new twist
The 6-1/2" woofers use Focal's classic "W" sandwich cone design to reproduce your audio with incredible accuracy. The nimble Kevlar and glass-fiber woofers demonstrate the control needed to play delicate classical passages, yet they'll handle the power needed to drive your bass-heavy tracks with authority. Focal adds a new Tuned Mass Damper (TMD®) rubber surround which minimizes harmonic distortion for the cleanest midrange possible.
A redesigned tweeter
The ES 165K employs a unique aramid fiber tweeter with an "M"-shaped inverted dome design that disperses the highs with remarkable precision, all the way up to 22,000 Hz.

Product Research
Features
K2 Woofer Cone: The woofer cone is a sandwich composite consisting of a foam core, a structural glass fiber bottom layer, and a Kevlar top layer. This combination of materials results in a rigid, light weight cone with excellent damping characteristics.
Surround: Focal's patented butyl rubber TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround helps control cone motion, resulting in more neutral and linear sound.
Inverted Dome Tweeter: The "M" profile, Aramid fiber inverted dome tweeter produces a broad sound stage, and smooth and precise high frequency output.
Size Classification Note: Some manufacturers, including Focal, call this size speaker a 6-1/2". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6-1/2" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size woofer as a 6-3/4".
