    FOCAL PS 165 V1

    Thanks a lot to the LDLC team for the prompt delivery of the product. I received it in the promised time.
    Ordered
    2-WAY COAXIAL 16.5 CM KIT (PAIR) Focal ICU165 for rear door
    and
    16.5 CM 2-WAY SPARE SPEAKER (PAIR)
    Focal PS 165 V1 for the front door.
    Unfortunately, I haven't had time to change the tweeters for the front door yet. There are still the original ones.
    The car is a Dacia Jogger. The original stereo is very very weak. Now it's like night and day. The story is not only about the volume, but a significant improvement in quality.
    Of course, it leads further :). I understood that I need also a subwoofer. LDLC has already sent me FOCAL Bomba BP20. I haven't connected it yet, but it will be done.
    I definitely warmly recommend choosing LDLC. A solid and responsible company!

    At the top, it's a focal point!

    After a complete isolation of the doors (aluminium butyl and acoustic foam for the interior of the panel) the rendering is superb coupled to a 4*80Wrms focal amplifier under 2 ohms to feed the front and rear kits.
    Still breaking in but already very good bass of course it's a sub, don't expect infras
    The sound is clear and balanced
    Consider a subwoofer for those who are looking for "boom boom".

    Not great

    The bass isn't great, it's better in a Partner van! The Twitters are very weak, I can hardly hear them. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get the same sound as you. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do with it, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I have done a haphazard job of costing the result for a multitude of positions. I didn't see any obvious differences. In short, I was expecting to receive speakers that were simply placed and I find myself with a very useless complication.

    Well

    Mounted on golf 6 with amp the sound is great. Just for future buyers set the tweeters to the lowest setting I did not do so I still have to disassemble but doors. If not I have set them directly on the original set.

    Excellent

    I installed it to replace the 3-way coaxial speakers I had in the front of my 206 (Pioneer TS-R1750S) and indeed, a split kit is much better!

    The highs are not at all shrill. I set the tweeter crossover to -6dB so that guitar solos don't tear my ears off and it's great!

    Concerning the bass also the woofer does the job, after obviously it is necessary to prepare the doors so that the filling does not vibrate because of the low frequencies. Something I did not do...

    Here are the only negative points:
    - The tweeter cable is too short, I had to add an extension cable to get it to the top of the door.
    - No cable to connect the speakers to the crossovers (only the tweeters have their own cable). So remember to have a cable from the "-" of the crossover to the "-" of the speaker and another cable from the "+" of the crossover to the "+" of the speaker.

    PS: For 206 owners, you have to cut the bottom of the original plastic spacer, otherwise the speaker won't fit. No worries, the speaker will not touch the window.

    Very good sound

    Ordered 2 pairs to equip a second car (1st C4 ii, 2nd 2008).
    The speakers are of good quality with or without an amp.
    The crossovers are a plus for better distribution of the right frequencies.

    Don't hesitate a second!

    Frankly, I installed this kit on a C3, it's night and day. Everything takes on another dimension. The sound is clear, just right, you can hear every instrument, it's a joy. Installed with the coaxials of the same range at the back, everything is deeper. The midrange and treble are very (too much perhaps) present. I am thinking of investing in an Ibus 2.1 because, being a metal lover, it is a bit of a drag. But for the price frankly there is not to hesitate. I had them installed by a professional and fortunately because I would have been unable to do it alone.

    Very good rendering

    A good focal kit! Heavy and robust speaker, not too deep. The tweeters produce an elegant and fine sound for a product of this price category. The crossovers have controls (crossover cut-off, amplification), but are big enough to fit in the dashboard (I took the glove box apart, and miracle, plenty of space in the dashboard)
    Coupled with a latest generation Sony car radio, the bass is more than enough. I preferred to add an Ibus focal box for more bass, but nothing mandatory.
