Our tech experts advise
Your vehicle must have existing tweeter slots for this kit to install correctly — contact us to verify compatibility with your specific model and year before ordering. The 2-ohm impedance is lower than standard; confirm your head unit or amplifier supports it beforehand. Grilles are not included. 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 IS VW 180 fit?
A: It is designed for Volkswagen vehicles with tweeter slots, including the latest models such as the Passat, Tiguan and Golf 8, and can also be installed in many Seat and Skoda models. Contact CEN with your registration to confirm fitment.
Q: Do I need to cut any wires to fit the IS VW 180?
A: No. The kit uses vehicle-specific connectors and factory harness adaptors, so there is no soldering and no cables to cut, and a chassis-integrated spacer fits the original speaker locations.
Q: Are grilles included with the IS VW 180?
A: No, grilles are not included.
