EC 165 K: 2-way coaxial kit 165mm
The EC 165 K consists of two 165mm (6.5") coaxial woofers, each with an integrated tweeter. Like all speakers in the K2 Power range, the woofers use Kevlar® "W" sandwich membranes — lightweight, rigid and well-damped — for dynamic, accurate and well-defined sound. Each woofer is supported by a TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension, which controls resonances and reduces distortion.
- Diameter: 6-1/2" (165mm)
- Voice coil diameter: 1" (25mm)
- Voice coil height: 9/16" (15mm)
- Motor: ferrite magnet
- Tweeter: TKM ("M" profile aramid fibre inverted dome)
- Cone: composite K2 Power "W" sandwich cone
- Surround: Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)
- Max power: 160W each speaker
- Nominal power: 80W each speaker
- Sensitivity (2.83V/1m): 93dB
- Frequency response: 60Hz–22kHz
- Impedance: 4 ohms
- Supplied grilles
The two TKM tweeters feature an inverted dome made from aramid fibres. The exclusive "M" shaped profile controls dome deformation for smooth, precise high-frequency reproduction up to 22kHz. The tweeter supports have been redesigned for greater robustness and a reduced height, keeping the overall install depth to a maximum of 74mm. Integrated crossover filters are built in, and the kit includes both aluminium and mesh grilles.
If you are looking for a component speaker alternative at the same size, Focal also offer the Focal 165 AS3 Access Series 3-way 6.5" component speakers.

About the Focal EC 165 K
From our tech experts at CEN
The Focal EC 165 K is a 6.5" 2-way coaxial speaker pair from the Elite K2 Power range. Each speaker handles 80W RMS, uses a Kevlar K2 "W" sandwich cone and a TKM aramid fibre inverted dome tweeter with an "M"-profile for smooth high-frequency response to 22kHz. An integrated crossover and both aluminium and mesh grilles are included.
Who it suits
These suit drivers who want K2 Power performance from a straightforward single-hole coaxial fit. If you prefer separate woofer and tweeter placement, the Focal 165 AS3 3-way 6.5" component speakers offer the same aperture size in a component format.

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: What cone does the Focal EC 165 K use?
A: The EC 165 K uses Focal's K2 Power W sandwich cone with a Kevlar (aramid) membrane, supported by a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) surround to control resonances and reduce distortion.
Q: How deep is the Focal EC 165 K?
A: The EC 165 K has a depth of 74mm (2 7/8 inches). Check this against the space behind your door speaker opening.
Q: Are grilles included with the Focal EC 165 K?
A: Yes. The kit is supplied with aluminium and mesh grilles, plus speed clips, screws and the owner's manual.
