【BLAM LIVE L165S | Thin Rear Separate 2-Way Speakers】

I want a bit more thickness and presence from the sound of the factory speakers. I want to hear the vocals clearly, but there’s limited installation space inside the car.

That’s where the BLAM LIVE L165S comes in.

With the drive and natural, easy-to-listen sound you’d expect from BLAM’s LIVE series, it uses a shallow design that keeps installation depth down. Thanks to the 25mm silk dome tweeter with a wide playback frequency range, along with a thick midrange and tight low end, it adds energy to your usual music.

Even with a factory replacement, it becomes easier to hear the “expression” in music

The LIVE L165S is a speaker that helps prevent vocal and instrument sounds from getting buried, making it easier to perceive the contours of the sound.

With live recordings, you’ll be able to feel the stage’s sense of spread and the momentum of the performance more clearly. Even with the music you listen to every day, the vocal presence and the attack of guitars and drums reach your ears naturally.

It’s not a type where only the high frequencies stand out—because there is also thickness in the mid and lower ranges, it’s suited not only for times when you turn the volume up to enjoy impact, but also when you want to listen carefully at normal volume. It’s a high-sensitivity design that also makes it easy to get sound even when paired with factory audio.

The thin design makes it easier to plan an installation suited to your vehicle

The installation depth is 61.7mm. Depending on the vehicle model, the factory speaker location and the space inside the door will differ, but with a thin model you’re more likely to be able to consider installation methods and finish it while avoiding interference with the door panel.

The tweeter has a dome shape and supports multiple mounting methods. It’s also appealing that you can think about where to aim it and how to aim it, depending on the vehicle, the mounting position, and the sound stage you’re aiming for.

Not only does it come down to replacing the speaker—by considering the condition of the door side, the mounting base, and compatibility with the factory audio as well, it becomes easier to bring out the best in the L165S.

Also suitable if you want to place more emphasis on the low end

If you have extra installation space on the woofer side, you can also consider switching to the L165P, which further prioritizes the low end.

Even within the same LIVE series, the overall sound character changes slightly, so your choice will vary not only by vehicle model, but also by the kind of music you usually listen to, your preferred listening volume, and your taste in bass. If it were me, I’d first confirm the installation conditions of your vehicle, then work together to decide whether the L165S or L165P fits your car best.

Speakers aren’t just about the product itself—the overall impression changes depending on the installation method and sound tuning. If you’re considering replacing the factory speakers or looking for a thin speaker with great sound, we’ll guide you with a practical, no-drama setup while confirming your vehicle’s specifications and your preferences.
