You know those mids are good with that reaction lol; I can't imagine how good they will sound after the matting. It's crazy how excited it can make you when watching someone-else get excited about what they are working on. Love the build and can't wait for the next videos.
They sound awesome! Very clean install again. I really like everything you do with installing all your equipment. You are definitely a top quality installer
I love your videos!!! and your choice in speakers!! I am in the middle of sound deadening, sound absorbing, etc. my 2003 pt cruiser tricked out gt turbo!!! I am putting ps165fx 's in the Q-logic kick panels and pc165f coaxial in the rear pillars, 12 inch focal sub in the boot........ YUM. can't wait!!
Hey James. Most if my music runs between Tool and Boston. Clarity, full sound, and good mid-range are important to me. You install a lot of Focals. Do these speakers represent that sound well? Thinking Focal Performance PS 165F for the front, Focal Performance PC 165 for rear, on a 2004 Tahoe
J’ai les focal Utopia dans mon auto et dans la maison dans plusieurs pièces , fidèle à focal depuis 30 ans un respect des voix et de leurs timbres !! Installation très propres , pourquoi ne pas avoir mi d’isolant dans les portières , pour bloquer les bruits parasites de la tôle !👍
Really good video as always! I already know how they sounds by looking at your expressions! I have a 2-way Focal polyglass kit installed in my car and they sound amazing if it wasn't for the stock headunit which is equalized pretty bad... partially solved the problem by using pink noise, RTA and a good music player app on my phone Prepare for a dramatic increase in mid-bass once the doors are deadened!
great job, congratulations. I would like to mount a Focal PS 165FXE kit on the front doors and Focal PC 165 FE on the rear doors on a golf mk7, my question is if they would give the diameter to mount without adapters? a greeting from Spain
Great video! The reason I bought these speakers! Would love to hear your opinion on bi-amping these. I have also just bought a pioneer DEH-80PRS and alpine pdr-v75 amp and not sure whether to go to active crossovers or do as you have done. Thanks!
Sick video & of course sick f*cking work my brother. All your work is freaking mint & i definitely respect u for it cuz its so easy to do shit hlf ass plus it pays off in the end when you finally get to enjoy what u did with your own 2 hands. Its a great feeling it's just to bad more people don't understand it but for us that do we definitely know its all worth it. So congrats brother i can imagine how good that sounds keep up the killer vids.
Love your work and channel. I'm new to all this I’d like to know what you would suggest for my setup. I installed some Focal 2K Power(ES 165K and ES 100K) and Im planning to install an amplifier what would you recommend? Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Here's my setup Front Tweeters x2 40 rms Speakers x2 60 rms Underseat Woofers x2 100 rms Back Speakers x2 60 rms Tweeters x2 40 rms Might send some picture of my work so far as well.
Nice work. One thing that came to mind though, the foam in the tweeter cavities is going to dramatically change the sound, perhaps for better, or worse, but definitely taming them down. Just a thought. Thanks for the vid !
U may have to cut out a channel for the warm hot exhaust air of the amp to go out and completely away from the amp area.Hard to tell from the videos but looks like the area where the hot air comes out channels back around to where the input air flow is. Which as u know is only going to make that amp run hotter. Had a simular issue with a friends car and ended up re channeling the air to go into the spare tire well and from that point on the amp only ever got warm even after hrs of slammin.
You never want the screw to be threading into the wood AND the metal, unless you get it very tight, they will seperate and the baffle will never tighten fully against the door, i don't need to tell you about getting an airtight seal... Always clearance the wood and only thread into the metal...
Glad to see you there scratching your head thinking how the hell am I going to do this, just like me...although I seem to spend a lot more time doing it.
If your still concerned with if you have contact between the grill surround and the woofer in the door panel... You can buy chalk line chalk at any hardware store. Apply a small amount to the trim ring and then very gently attach the door skin. Then remove the skin. If you have chalk on the woofer then you have contact. You might also try this with the system off first then on. On, to check to see if there is enough travel room for the woofer to expand. If you have contact, you should have a definitive line. If it's just a little chalk on the speaker then it may just be vibration from the woofer causing it to lose contact with the grill surround.
I got it all sorted, the woofer membrane never touched the door card, it was the basket of the speaker where you put the mounting screws through that slightly touched which is fine. The door popped all the way on with no troubles and i put that layer of foam tape in there to prevent potential rattle.
Head unit amps are more like 14-18W RMS. They often advertise somewhere between 45-55 Watts, but that is peak and you'd never see a power figure like that.
Do you guys sell the Focal speakers online? Otherwise can you recommend a good supplier? I'm in Hawkes Bay (Napier). Can you suggest an amp that will be ideal for these and give me room to add a sub later (I'm a broke Emergency Service worker so building the system piece by piece).
when you say matching the 165fx do you mean matching coaxles? that would be the pc165f. and theyre real good especially for their money. unsure of their amps because weve never used them since theyre so expensive, but i would imagine they are pretty decent.
That very well built terminal strip you mentioned is not attached very good. There is a very small piece of plastic that is adhered to the basket and mine pulled off which could have resulted in the voice coil wires braking off. Cheap speakers often have less rugged terminal strips but they are often riveted onto a metal tab attached to the basket. Another problem is the lack of midrange speaker wires and if you don't have the right sizes terminals and don't want to wait for those terminals to come in, you solder wires on which is what i did. That could have heated up that little adhesive holding the terminal strip on. Overall i think it is a terrible design for a very expensive speaker system. My dynaudios were much better built and lasted me 20 years before i had a problem with one out of four midranges that could not be easily fixed.
yea just looked it up in our book, looks like cheap abs plastic, in fact i think theyre the same ones phil cassidy supplied for his car about 5 videos ago... not as good as dual layer 29mm mdf + rubber gasket though lol

Those baffles look swell. btw I had to sing along to Gangsta's Paradise with you. lol

I love the look of those speakers. I can only imagine how they sound
5 years late....But I can surely say, the sound is unbeatable for 300 dollars (per pack)
Love your work and channel.
I'm new to all this I’d like to know what you would suggest for my setup.
I installed some Focal 2K Power(ES 165K and ES 100K) and Im planning to install an amplifier what would you recommend?
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Here's my setup
Front
Tweeters x2 40 rms
Speakers x2 60 rms
Underseat Woofers x2 100 rms
Back
Speakers x2 60 rms
Tweeters x2 40 rms
Might send some picture of my work so far as well.
Did you use the car factory speaker wires and add your aftermarket speakers wires to the components?
Thank you
Nice work. One thing that came to mind though, the foam in the tweeter cavities is going to dramatically change the sound, perhaps for better, or worse, but definitely taming them down. Just a thought. Thanks for the vid !
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. This made my day. Thank you.

Greetings from Ecuador , I’m planning on getting these beauties; how many rms you recommend per speaker ? How about 100 rms ?
You never want the screw to be threading into the wood AND the metal, unless you get it very tight, they will seperate and the baffle will never tighten fully against the door, i don't need to tell you about getting an airtight seal... Always clearance the wood and only thread into the metal...
Omg!!! Without dynamat or other damping material ?!? Without close door chamber?
if you had watched the whole video you would know that one of my next steps is deadening the whole car
Are you running a low pass filter on your amp as well or just having all audio pass due to having the crossovers?
Your reaction was priceless. I know you'll get the cooling issue handled
Glad to see you there scratching your head thinking how the hell am I going to do this, just like me...although I seem to spend a lot more time doing it.
I'll bring my car in. And my grandmother 👵. Get that discount
The3rd ERA 😊😊😟
The3rd ERA wrong channel lol

The door popped all the way on with no troubles and i put that layer of foam tape in there to prevent potential rattle.
When I eventually have enough money for the Focal speakers I want no damn way I'm not building door pods to show them off.
Why do focals have such a low rms rating? 6-80 watts rms? My hd amp is pushing 150 a channel can these handle it?
Head unit amps are more like 14-18W RMS. They often advertise somewhere between 45-55 Watts, but that is peak and you'd never see a power figure like that.
I would have removed the OEM speakers from their enclosures then installed the Focals to that.
As-tu déjà testé les ps 165 FSE?
I think you need more nuclear explosions like Doug b. Good video as usual! Cheers
Do you guys sell the Focal speakers online? Otherwise can you recommend a good supplier? I'm in Hawkes Bay (Napier). Can you suggest an amp that will be ideal for these and give me room to add a sub later (I'm a broke Emergency Service worker so building the system piece by piece).
Oh and do you reckon they'll go into my VY commodore without too much drama?
Dead center... hell yea!
Does focal have matching mid bass speakers to the ps 165 fx? And are focal 4ch amps good?
when you say matching the 165fx do you mean matching coaxles?
that would be the pc165f. and theyre real good especially for their money.
unsure of their amps because weve never used them since theyre so expensive, but i would imagine they are pretty decent.
Car Audio.etc i mean i bought a 2way component set, i want the mid bass speakers to match and i wil sound dead the doors, floor and trunk later
can i put these speakers on semi truck
thats just the speakers ?
bravo super boulot !!!

How did you configure the crossovers on the headunit ? I have the same speakers but i don't know what to set the crossover at.
NUC he didn't have to configure crossovers/or frequency cutting because it is already done by passive crossovers on the back
why u dont work with hertz ?
Because Focal is better ?
No, sundown is better
Are these better with a amp as I'm thinking of getting some thanks
Dont buy unless u amp them
sick pathfinder
thumbs up bro
nice vids.
Twist bits :)
Отличное видео, молодец парень
No sound deadening?
Check out the rest of my channel.
You shall see.
I think aeropro make a battle that car in Australia
yea just looked it up in our book, looks like cheap abs plastic, in fact i think theyre the same ones phil cassidy supplied for his car about 5 videos ago...
not as good as dual layer 29mm mdf + rubber gasket though lol
Yeah, but not may people has access or an shed with a router and all the tools with it to make a battle.
Sounds like a white Chris Eubank
