About the Focal PS 165 FSE

Alexander H.

The sound of flax

In their pursuit of sonic excellence, Focal discovered that a flax woofer cone produces a dynamic sound that's worthy of their reputation. At half the weight of fiberglass, these flax fibers help create a very rigid yet lightweight cone that ensures accuracy and limits unwanted vibrations.

The sound of flax

In their pursuit of sonic excellence, Focal discovered that a flax woofer cone produces a dynamic sound that's worthy of their reputation. At half the weight of fiberglass, these flax fibers help create a very rigid yet lightweight cone that ensures accuracy and limits unwanted vibrations.

Shallow-mount woofer

Focal lets you prioritize excellent sound in more challenging vehicles by incorporating their famous woofer technology in a shallow-mount basket.

Tuned mass damper

Focal knows that control is of the utmost importance to accurate sound. Their patented surround employs "tuned mass damper" technology used to enhance the structural stabilization of earthquake-resistant skyscrapers — seriously!! With greater control of the woofer cone, you'll gain smoother, more natural sound.

Awesome power handling

This Flax Evo Series PS 165 FE 6-1/2" component speaker system combines flax woofers with Focal's celebrated M-profile inverted dome tweeters. The inverted dome design of the tweeters mimics woofer-style sound dispersion, distributing the high frequencies in a wide pattern to create an exceptionally natural soundstage. The aluminum frame provides an incredibly rigid and non-resonant platform for these superior components. These speakers will handle up to 70 watts RMS, so powering them with an amplifier will really enhance their dynamic range.

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)

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.
hogan  Dec 14, 2022 (Staff)
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.
