Focal technologies
A slim component speaker kit built for straightforward upgrades and solid sound performance.
The ASE 165 S delivers neutral, dynamic sound with precise treble. It uses a 6 1/2" (16.5cm) polypropylene cone woofer and an adjustable inverted dome mylar tweeter for an improved soundstage.
At just 1 7/8" (4.8cm) deep, the shallow mounting depth makes installation easier and keeps the speakers discreet inside your doors.
The tweeters can be flush-mounted in the A-pillars or fitted into the vehicle's original speaker locations. The kit works with an aftermarket amplifier or plugs directly into your car's factory amplifier.

About the Focal ASE 165 S
From our tech experts at CEN
Focal Auditor Series 6.5 inch component speakers, with separate tweeters that can be mounted where you will actually hear them.
Who it suits
Drivers building a proper front stage and happy for tweeters to be mounted separately, which usually means a professional fit. Auditor sits above Access, with more output and better detail for a modest step up. The slim version suits doors where mounting depth is tight.
Our tech experts advise
Sizes, adapter rings and harnesses vary by vehicle, year and trim, so we confirm what your car takes before ordering. Door treatment matters as much as the speaker, and Focal drivers repay an amplifier. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: How deep is the Focal ASE 165 S woofer?
A: The ASE 165 S woofer has a mounting depth of 48.5mm (1 7/8 inches), which is why it is sold as the slim version of the Auditor ASE 165 kit.
Q: How much power can the Focal ASE 165 S handle?
A: Focal rates the ASE 165 S at 55W RMS (110W peak) at 4 ohms, with 91 dB sensitivity, so it works from a factory amplifier or an aftermarket amplifier.
Q: What's in the box with the Focal ASE 165 S?
A: Two woofers, two tweeters (each with 18 inches of speaker wire attached), 2 flush mount tweeter cups (installed), 2 surface mount and 2 angled surface mount tweeter adapters, 2 crossovers, 12 speed clips, eight 1-3/8 inch and four 1 inch screws, 2 adhesive backed pads and the owner's manual.
