Focal Polykevlar 165 K2

Price Paid:  $800.00 from Sound Advice

Year / Model Reviewed:
2000 6.5 K2P's

Summary:
Focal's are great speakers, sound stage is excellent, highs sweet, and bass beautiful. I have/had Focal's all around, but have continued to blow the front speakers I am on my third pair. I am running JL 500/5 and 300/2. But the cones keep seperating from the surrounds. My only advice is watch out.

Strengths:
Incredible clarity

Weaknesses:
Something is wrong with the manufacturing three sets have cones seperated from surround with moderate listening style.

2006 Focal 165 K2P

Summary:
This is not a speaker for the weak. I put a pair of Focal 165 K2P's in front and a pair of Focal 165 V2's in the back and the system is spectacular. The K2Ps have to be the best sound stage setting speaker I have ever heard in a car. They have an incredible dynamic range at high volumes and where other speakers sound desperate, the K2P's say, "give me more." They handle high power well (I'm driving mine with the high-powered side of a JL Audio 450/4) and the cross-overs are precise. I couldn't ask for a better speaker.

Strengths:
The most impressive feature this speaker has is its uncanny ability to set a specatcular sound stage. You can crank them way up and close your eyes and point to the instruments playing. Spectacular.

Weaknesses:
A bit expensive; but you get what you pay for.

Summary:
I have been seeking the best quality in car audio for years and have had some pretty quality products. My car audio guy had to really talk me into the Focals at $1500.00 for two pair BUT..... after almost 2 years with these speakers they are best single purchase I have ever made for my car. I can honestly say I do not regret a dollar spent on these Focals and would recommend them to anyone that wants to go to the next level in speakers. I have heard things in my favorite music that I have played for years that I have never heard before. That truly amazed me.

Strengths:
Fantastic looks (although mine are unfortunately hidden), wonderful range from highs to lows, clarity second to to nothing and able to handle lot of power with no distortion.

Weaknesses:
There is no weakness unless you consider the high price. Unfortunately, a lot of consumers will miss out on these awesome speakers because of price. I almost did.
