Our tech experts advise
At 2 ohms impedance, check that your head unit or amplifier is rated for a 2 ohm load before fitting. Grilles are not included, so the original factory grilles will be retained. Contact us to confirm fitment for your specific model and trim. Installation is priced per vehicle; see our car audio installation page for details.

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: Which vehicles does the Focal IC VW 165 fit?
A: It is designed for recent Volkswagen models such as the Passat, Tiguan and Golf 8, and can also be installed in many Seat and Skoda models. Contact CEN with your vehicle details to confirm fitment.
Q: Do I need to cut any wires to fit the IC VW 165?
A: No. The kit uses vehicle-specific connectors and a chassis-integrated spacer, so it fits the original locations with no cutting or modification.
Q: What is in the box with the Focal IC VW 165?
A: Two 2-way IC VW 165 speakers, 10 rivets, 2 Focal Inside badges, a user manual and a Focal window sticker. Grilles are not included.
