【FOCAL PS 165FSE｜Slim 16.5cm Separate 2-Way Speaker】

If you’re looking to replace your factory speakers and enjoy the sounds of vocals and instruments a bit more naturally and comfortably, the PS 165FSE from French FOCAL is a great choice.

Building upon the FOCAL sound-tuning we have handled at LOGON for over 20 years, this model uses a Flax-sandwich-structure woofer made with flax (hemp) material. The midrange is rich and thick, bringing a pleasing sheen to vocal performances. Rather than emphasizing only the outlines of sound, it’s a speaker that also makes it easy to perceive the natural spread of instruments and the “air” in recordings.

In particular, I believe you’ll be able to feel the change after the swap if you find that the vocals in the music you usually listen to sound slightly “in the distance,” if factory speakers sound muffled, or if you want a sound that’s less fatiguing even during long listening sessions.

This is a slim design with a mounting depth of 54.5mm. It’s a model that makes it easier to consider even for cars where conventional speakers are difficult to fit, aiming for both installability and a FOCAL-style sound. With a high sensitivity of 91.5dB, it’s also designed to be easy to drive even with a factory system without adding an external amplifier.

That said, speaker sound doesn’t come down to swapping the product alone. Depending on the condition on the door side, the mounting base, the way the speakers are fixed, and compatibility with the factory system, the final result can differ—even with the same PS 165FSE.

At LOGON, we organize the necessary installation work together while confirming your vehicle model and the setup of the factory audio, the music you usually listen to, and your sound preferences. If I were choosing, I wouldn’t decide based only on the speaker’s standalone performance—I’d also consider the installation method and even the condition of the door to come up with a sensible, no-stress combination.

Whether it’s your first speaker upgrade or a sound-quality improvement that leverages the factory system, this is a model that’s easy to consider. If you feel your current sound is just a little lacking, please feel free to ask us—including about the mounting method tailored to your vehicle.
