【ETON PRS-165.2｜16cm separate speakers that let you enjoy natural sound continuity】

I want a bit more clarity from the factory speaker sound. I’d like to enjoy the detailed expression of vocals and instruments without any strain.

If you’re looking for something like that, consider the ETON PRS-165.2. This is a separate speaker kit in a 2-WAY passive network configuration, combining a 19mm silk-dome tweeter with a 160mm mid-bass.

Smooth sound continuity in crisp, detailed treble

The tweeter uses a 19mm silk dome with ETON’s unique special coating. It’s designed to draw out the amount of information in the high frequencies while aiming for a smooth presentation that won’t be too sharp in your ears.

You may find that sounds that were easy to miss with the factory speakers—such as vocal breath, guitar strings, and the lingering decay of cymbals—come through with greater clarity. It’s the type of speaker that makes it easier to notice how sounds overlap and subtle nuances, even in the music you already listen to every day.

A 160mm fiberglass paper cone supports the mid-bass to low-mid range

The mid-bass uses a 160mm fiberglass paper cone with a 3-layer structure. With a diaphragm designed to balance rigidity and lightness, it delivers quick sound onset and supports the thickness of vocals as well as the contours of instruments.

The key point is that it doesn’t just make the bass loud—tuned as a door speaker, it helps stabilize the mid-to-low frequencies and makes it easier to blend them with the high frequencies. It’s well-suited for those who listen to music during long drives, as well as for anyone who values a coherent, well-integrated sound.

Adjust tweeter volume to match your installation environment

The included passive network supports a crossover at 3.5kHz. You can adjust the tweeter level in two steps: +3dB / 0dB.

Inside the car, your perception of the high frequencies changes depending on the tweeter’s installation position and orientation. Whether you want them pulled forward for a brighter presentation, or blended in naturally—since you can adjust based on your vehicle model, mounting location, and how you typically listen, you can “dial in” a balance that’s easy to enjoy while driving, rather than stopping at simply swapping the speakers.

The tweeter comes with mounts for both flush-mount (embedded) and surface-mount (on-surface) types. It’s best to decide the actual mounting method by checking the vehicle’s interior, available space, and your desired finish.

Speaker impressions change depending on the installation method

Even with the same speakers, the sound impression can differ depending on the door-side base and mounting method, surrounding treatments, the tweeter’s position, and the finishing of the wiring.

To get the most out of the PRS-165.2, it’s important not to think only in terms of replacing the factory speakers, but to consider the installation approach while taking compatibility with the vehicle into account. Depending on whether you use a factory navigation unit, whether you combine an external amplifier, and whether you apply deadening, the priorities will also change.

If I were doing this, I would first check the music you normally listen to and your current frustrations, then organize together whether to proceed with just the speakers or to include door-side treatment and adjustments. Rather than unnecessarily increasing the amount of work, spending cost where it fits the car and your usage will lead to a finish you’re more likely to be satisfied with later.

If you’re unsure about replacing the factory speakers or choosing separate speakers, tell us your vehicle model, current system, and the music you want to listen to. Let’s decide on a direction together while looking at the actual vehicle, including whether the PRS-165.2 will suit you.
