Product Research

Features

Woofer Size Classification: Some manufacturers, including Focal, call this size woofer a 6½". Because it requires a larger cutout than a standard 6½" speaker, Crutchfield has traditionally referred to this size woofer as a 6¾". Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Aluminum Basket: The woofers' cast aluminum baskets are rigid and non-magnetic.

Surround: Each woofer uses a butyl rubber surround, resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity.

Tweeters: The tweeters have inverted Aluminum/Magnesium domes, producing a broad sound stage. They can be surface or flush mounted using the included adapters. The angled surface mount housings can be positioned at 25° or 45°.

Note: When flush mounted, the tweeters are pressure fit into the opening, with nothing holding them from behind, so the cutout diameter is very important.

Tweeter Dimensions:

  Flush Mount Angled Surface Mount
Mounting Height 0.393" 1.8"
Depth 0.425" (screw depth)
Frame Diameter 2.046" 2.07" x 2.15"
Cutout Diameter 1.572" N/A

Crossovers: The input and output wires are attached to each crossover. The 12" input wires are not terminated (bare wire). Both the woofer and tweeter output wires are also 12" long; the woofer outputs are terminated with quick slides to easily attach to the woofers and the tweeter outputs are not terminated (bare wire). A switch inside each crossover lets you adjust the tweeter output level; choose -3 dB or 0 dB (flat). The crossovers use 2nd order high-pass and low-pass filters (12 dB/octave). The crossover point for both is 3 kHz.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 2⅜"
  • Height: 1⅛"
  • Depth: 3⅜" (4⅞" including wires)

Customer Q&A

3 questions already asked

Q
I have a 2017 Ford Transit 250 mid roof with the factory 2 speaker system. It also has the pillar mounted tweeters. I noticed many 6-3/4" speakers are listed that fit my front doors. What is it about these Focals prevent them from working in my front doors?
michael s  Jan 24, 2024
1 answer
A
Using the Metra 82-5605 brackets that we provide for mounting speakers in the front doors, we only have a clearance between the bracket and the door's speaker grille of 0.284" whereas these Focal speakers require a minimum clearance of 0.457". The Metra brackets are 0.814" tall, so it may be possible for you to fabricate your own shorter brackets, which would leave room to fit the speakers.

Q
Do I need an amp for these or can I run them off my radio alone?

Greetings Vladamire, and thank you for your question. The Flax series Focal speakers need an amplifier of 50-60 watts to perform as their specs state. I personally would not run just radio power to them.

Q
Can the tweeters be mounted on top of the speakers like a coaxial?
brian  Dec 05, 2020

A
This would need to be a custom built mount. Focal does not provide any way to do this with what's in the box.
