does your car have dash speakers? does your car have an amp? if yes, which one and how much power are the speakers seeing? lots of ambiguous comments w/o providing specific detail to help the consumer make an informed decision. just sayin'...
How would you say these compare to the similarly priced Virtus speakers from Morel? I like a good midrange in my speakers but I also want overall good SQL from my components and I noticed the Morrells handle about double the RMS. Would you say that these are overall better speakers for an SQL build or the Morels?
Both do offer top notch sound quality. The Focals offer more pronounced highs and the Morels are warmer on top. What do you tend to like better there? What will you be using for power?
We like both! And we like for our customers to get the sound they seek or prefer. If there is no preference that makes either a better choice, then the Expert series' adjustable crossover may be able to make an impactful difference and make them the better choice
Listening is very personal, and both options are great quality component speakers both using different materials and technology. Use our SpeakerCompare portal below and give them a listen and decide for yourself! www.crutchfield.com/speakercompare/
Your recommendation on the video is to power these speakers with a nice amplifier, considering Focal FPX line...can you tell the difference between the FPX 4.400 SQ and the FPX 4.800? Is there a noticeable SQ difference between them?...is the sound on the 4.400 SQ amp warmer for example?
The Focal allows the user to customize the audio more for their needs. If the audio controls you will use are found in both, then the Morel MPS 4.400 has a higher separation between the audio and the noise within the audio making it sound cleaner than the Focal. Here is the Morel amp: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_210MPS4400/item.html
I have the flax evo 3 ways in my car and was wondering how these would compare. I love my current setup but was thinking of upgrading to the k2 power 3-ways. I was just curious how the slate fiber components would compare to the flax evos or k2 powers 🤔
The slatefiber cone does allow for a bit more detail in the midrange. The overall sound quality and performance is pretty close between the two series.
Ello mes pc 165 slatefiber je l ai alimenter avec un amplificateur 4x120 watts fpx 4.800 ce n ai pas de trop fort car derrière j ai des pc 710 focal merci 😊
The difference in their sound is a minor one. It might be one that the only way some would ever hear it would be to play them side-by-side. The Flax Evo models woofer is made from lighter weight materials which help it move with less power. Its not so significantly lighter so its not a night/day level change but; more like a single step level change. That makes it a little better sounding when running with radio power. This Slatefiber model will play more lively of the two models when powered by an amp.
100-watts RMS is too powerful for the slate fiber speakers, they cannot handle that much RMS wattage. You could damage your new speakers, and we would not want that! ES components from Focal in the link below would be a great match, as they are rated for 100-watts RMS. www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_091ES165K/Focal-ES-165K.html
i bought these speaker. Now i am planing to buy amfi. Which one is better Focal FPX 4400 or Focal FPX 4800 ? İ Think AB Amfi is better than D class amfi but FPX 4400 has 4 Ohm x 70 watt i think. But these Slatefiber Speakers has 80 watt RMS . Please Help me to choose correct way. Also İ need Subwoofer there is two way. 1-) 4 Channel Amfi + Sub + Mono Amfi 2-) 5 Channel Amfi + Sub İ need SQL system dont need too loud speaker. i need clear sound.What Should i do ?
How many of the Focal PS 165 SF will you be using? Which sub do you have in mind? Will you be using an aftermarket radio with 3 sets of pre-amp outputs?
@@crutchfield Amp: Focal Ap 4340 Speakers: Focal PS165SF Headunit: Xtrons IAP91M209 Subwoofer: Alpine SWE-815 (will be upgraded in the future. Either to Focal 33k or to P20FE) Would you recommend adding a pair of ~3"? If yes then which would you recommend?
To ensure you get the best use of a midrange driver, you should get one that comes with a crossover and handles around the same power as the speaker. The Pioneer TS-A879 midrange drivers match this and are close to the size you want. They can be found here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_130TSA879/item.html

Hi Kayne, these are excellent component choices! Do you have the hatchback or sedan? Did your car come with Bose? If not, how many factory speakers did it come with? Do you already have a sub box?
It sounds like a fantastic setup to me. You'll need to custom install the 3-ways and use component amplification for the best possible performance. What size subwoofer were you planning? Do you want to run a single amp that powers everything or run dual amps?
@crutchfield the sub is the focal k2 power m 5 inch going in the truck in the spare wheel where the factory bose one is, the plan will run dual amplifiers 4 channel for the speakers something maybe can mount to the bose amp mounting bracket under drivers seat and single channel for the sub in the truck
It is certainly possible to discreetly mount your amps, and you will be limited to 200-watts RMS for the Focal K2 5 3/4" subwoofer. What has got you choosing the Flax 3-ways for the front stage and the slate fiber for the rears?

In terms of detail and overall SQ how would you say these compare to the Sony XS-162ES components?
Both great options. Do you prefer a warmer tweeter or more pronounced highs? What do you plan to use for power?
I’m guessing Sonys are warmer?
