Thoughts about Focal 165 K2P?

Been gathering ideas on what I want in the new max. I'm going to keep everything except for the HU and front speakers. The Bostons I have as my front soundstage will be used for rear fill. Any opinions on this Focal component set?



I heard a pair of Focals, although only coaxils, and they sounded pretty good. So I figured I'll look more into their component sets.

I had a pair of the Focal 165 (non-Kelvar) components in my 02 WRX. They sound incredible! The titanium tweeters capture the crisp highs.

I would highly recommend them. The only issue is the mounting; the magnets on the drivers are huge! In my WRX I had to fabricate spacer plates out of 3/4" MDF to fit them in the front doors, as the doors are extremely shallow. Not sure if that is a problem in the Maximas.

These components will make their way into a Maxima as soon as I get the $$$ from the sale of my WRX.

Don, you're referring to the tweets right? I prefer a smooth high like from a nice silk dome, or something similar to BA's kortec tweeter material. and btw you're going to kill me. i wrote your info wrong. i wrote down wistoria instead of wistEria....
