Discover the world of Focal sound quality with the 165 A3. This 6.5-inch three-way kit adds a 4-inch midrange speaker to the A1's offerings, so it can deliver even more Focal sound--extreme dynamics, punchy bass and accurate treble, with an expansive soundstage to fill your vehicle with crystal-clear audio. The 6.5-inch woofers boast a one-inch voice coil with excellent power handling, a high-sensitivity magnet, and butyl rubber surround for durability and powerful bass. The aluminum inverted dome tweeters provide clear and accurate treble, and can be set at three different levels using the crossovers, to provide the ideal relative volume for its install location. Experience Focal's "Spirit of Sound" with flawless imaging, and uncommon detail and dynamics.The essential component in terms of quality of reproduction, richness of timbre plus image detail is the inverted dome aluminum tweeter whose inclusion represented a true challenge: how to bring a unique Focal technology into a more affordable market segment. At the same time, the woofers and subwoofers combine high sensitivity and high power handling. The humidity resistant woven glass fibre cone combines the dynamics and precision of the mid-range while offering a deep and articulated bass. The 165 A3 kit adds a 4-inch midrange driver to the A1's offerings, with the same construction as the woofer. The woofer's power handling and reliability are remarkable thanks to deliberately oversized voice coils, resulting in deep and accurate bass. Click to enlarge. Aluminum inverted dome tweeter technology offers significant rigidity and lowers distortion. Click to enlarge. Crossover with 3-level tweeter control. Click to enlarge. Painted DIN chassis, 20% glass fiber filled ABS material This strong, rigid chassis is non-magnetic and nonresonant. All weather woven glass fiber cone The durable, humidity-resistant cone provides dynamic bass and precise midrange. Phase plug Phase plug designs control midrange out of the listening axis, for added accuracy. 25mm (1") voice coil (woofer) Larger voice coils provide excellent power handling, which in turn provides a tight, well-defined low-end. 85mm (3-1/3") magnet (woofer) High sensitivity where everything begins. Voice coil cooling system Provides reliable, consistent performance, no matter what kind of abuse your system dishes out. Aluminum inverted dome tweeter Provides accurate treble with the utmost efficiency. 20mm (13/16") ferrofluid voice coil Excellent power handling and heat dispersal. Adjustable tweeter level Adjust the tweeter level control according to location (3 level settings) with a simple switch. Air core inductors Insensitive to parasite interferences. Constantly pursuing innovation is the embodiment of Focal's corporate strategy and that goal involves every facet of the company. From R&D to production to quality control, all our teams are fully involved and focused on this one objective: continual progress through innovation. In today's world, where globalization and the pursuit of chasing cheaper production methods have tempted most companies to splinter their organizations, Focal has opted to be different. Though we have grown tremendously through the years, our R & D, headquarters and manufacturing facilities remain based in Saint-Etienne (France). We have learned that true innovation is not simply work carried out at the research department, but is also a question of comprehensive management and the direct control of the different production phases. The example of Beryllium is a significant one. Only three years ago no one was capable of producing tweeters with a pure Beryllium foil dome. Focal innovated a solution based on research and the invention of specific in-house industrial processes. Such an approach has given us an important advantage over our competitors: we develop our own technology, which allows us to consistently provide true quality production using our own methods. In 2008, the Focal Car range gets richer with a new amplifier line: Solid. This perfectly sums up Focal's commitment for high musical quality from the entry-level contrary to the general tendency that consists in looking for the cheapest prices in priority instead of performance.The result is music standardization and trivialization, which is highly prejudicial to sound quality. Focal cultivates this difference. This is the core strength of our brand and our company. This is the Spirit of Sound. We want to share this with you... It is our Utopia
