Focal PS 165 SF 6½" (165 mm) 2-way component kit
Slatefiber cone
- Made in France in the Focal workshops
- High power handling for intensive use
- High sensitivity reduces amplification requirements
- Tough construction and high-quality materials
- Flexible installation options
Focal's Slatefiber cone uses non-woven, recycled carbon fibres to achieve greater damping, rigidity and lightness — the three fundamentals of a quality speaker driver. The unique slate effect finish is distinctive, and the cone plays a key role in delivering a wide, detailed soundstage.
The PS 165 SF incorporates Focal's latest technologies for performance, reliability and French manufacturing. Its standard 6½" (165 mm) dimensions suit most vehicles, and its 91 dB sensitivity means it can be run directly from a factory head unit or paired with an amplifier. If you're considering other Focal 6.5" options, the Focal 165 AS Access Series is a 2-way 60W alternative, while the Focal 165 AS3 offers a 3-way configuration at the same 80W rating.
Installation is straightforward. The aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter comes with an angled bracket and can be flush-mounted or fitted in the vehicle's original tweeter location thanks to its compact size. The crossover, tweeter and woofer boxes separate independently for maximum fitting flexibility.
Smart and sleek design
The aluminium baskets feature a "rotor" design with a slate-blue finish — lightweight, strong and visually distinctive. The Slatefiber kit is built to make a clear improvement to in-car sound quality without compromising on build quality or aesthetics.
High power handling
The PS 165 SF handles high power reliably, even during extended high-volume listening. Whether used occasionally or daily, the Slatefiber kit is built to last.

About the Focal PS165SF
From our tech experts at CEN
The Focal PS 165 SF is a 6.5" 2-way component speaker kit from the Slate Fibre Series, rated at 80W nominal and 160W maximum power. It features a Slatefiber cone made from non-woven recycled carbon fibres, paired with an aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter and independent crossovers. Sensitivity is 91 dB at 4 ohms; the kit is made in France.
Who it suits
This kit suits drivers wanting a step up from factory speakers in a standard 6.5" door fitment. At 91 dB sensitivity, it runs well from a head unit or pairs with an amplifier. For a lower-power 6.5" component option, see the Focal 165 AS.
Our tech experts advise
The crossover, tweeter and woofer mount independently, helping when door space is limited. The compact tweeter fits flush or in the original tweeter location using the included angled bracket. Check door depth before ordering to ensure the woofer has adequate clearance. Installation is priced per vehicle — see our car audio installation page.

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: Can the Focal PS 165 SF run from my factory radio?
A: Yes. Its high sensitivity (91 dB) means the PS 165 SF can be connected directly to the original car radio, or used with an amplifier to make the most of its 80W nominal power handling.
Q: How can the PS 165 SF tweeters be installed?
A: The aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter is supplied with an angled bracket and can be flush-mounted or fitted in the vehicle's original location thanks to its compact size.
Q: Where are the Focal PS 165 SF speakers made?
A: They are made in France in the Focal workshops.
