| focalboy's Full Review: Focal 165 V2 Car Component System |
Absolutely amazing speakers, especially for the money. Vocals coming from these Focals are absolutely wonderful, especially female vocals. Very powerful yet detailed. I'm running them passively off the included crossover with -6db for the tweeters.
You do not need to crank the volume to get the detail. Everything is balanced and crisp. However, installation is very important. Like any good component set, the placement of the tweeters is key to getting the optimal imaging and sound quality. Spend time on the installation and you will not dissapointed.
Bottom line is that you get a very good intro to audiophile grade equipment for a very reasonable price. Just make sure to match these up with a good amplifier and subwoofer. I use the Audison SRx3 and Focal SB33V2 subwoofer.
