Acclaimed component sound for your Volkswagen
Acclaimed component sound for your Volkswagen
Step up your VW audio system from reliable to inspiring. Focal is passionate about premium audio, and their Focal Inside Series speakers ensure more drivers have an excellent musical experience on the road. They designed and built their IS VW 155 6.1" component speaker system to fit perfectly into a range of Volkswagen vehicles. The separate woofers and tweeters supply a dramatic boost in sound quality, courtesy of some of the same technology that Focal uses in their audiophile-grade home speakers.
Top-notch materials and design
The IS VW 155 speaker employs a Polyglass woofer cone for true-to-life sound, while the separate aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter ensures detailed and crisply delivered highs. The speaker's custom-designed spacer guarantees a perfect fit in your Volkswagen, while integrated connectors connect to your existing factory speaker plugs — no cutting or splicing required.
Grilles are not included; your VW factory grilles will be used.

Features
Mounting: The IS VW 155 is a direct replacement for the factory speakers in select Volkswagen models. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit. In many cases the factory woofer is riveted in place, so the factory rivets must be drilled out. The new woofer is a direct replacement, and can be mounted using the rivets included with the IS VW 155 (if you have a rivet gun) or screws (not included). The factory tweeters are typically mounted using plastic spot welds, so they are most easily removed using a soldering iron to heat the weld points. The new tweeter is then mounted while the weld points are still soft.
Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp.
Surround: The woofer's butyl rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity, adding to its reliability and longevity.
Inverted Dome Tweeter: The tweeter has an inverted aluminum dome, producing a broad sound stage.
Wiring:
- Woofer: The factory wiring harness plugs directly into the IS VW 155 woofer frame.
- Tweeter: To integrate with Volkswagen models built in multiple countries, both male and female harnesses are included for the tweeters. (Only one or the other will be used.)
Crossovers: The woofer crossovers are integrated into the woofer frames, and the tweeter crossovers are wired in-line in the 11" wires attached to each tweeter. Neither should be mounted without the crossover.
