We make it a point of honor to provide you with equipment of impeccable sound quality and design. The proof with the ICU165 2-way coaxial kit and its Polyglass membrane offering perfectly defined mids: give a new sound dimension to your listening with this solution which significantly improves your audio installation.
NUMEROUS SETTINGS
The aluminum/magnesium tweeter features a two-position Flat/High level control (+3dB) to boost treble. This is particularly useful if the loudspeaker is placed at the bottom of the door.
COMPACT AND PRACTICAL
The high compactness (4.84 cm) of the loudspeakers, achieved by reducing mounting depth and motor diameter, facilitates kit assembly. What's more, the integrated crossover greatly simplifies connection to the car radio.
ROBUSTESSE
In addition to its ease of installation, ICU165 features a butyl surround, a symbol of robustness and durability. Add to this a sober design that combines style and discretion for your car.

TECHNOLOGIES
TWEETER IN AL/MG
Treble finesse
Membrane shape and materials are essential. For the finest treble, our engineers have patented the inverted dome tweeter, a Focal signature. The inverted dome shape offers the advantage of low directionality and a small-diameter, lightweight coil for better acceleration. As for the materials used, they combine the key points of a good loudspeaker: aluminum increases dome rigidity and reduces distortion, while the addition of magnesium provides excellent damping. The surround that connects the dome to its support uses Poron, a shape-memory material. This surround is derived from the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter, and reduces distortion by a factor of three between 2000 Hz and 3000 Hz, where the ear is most sensitive.
POLYGLASS MEMBRANE
Well-defined mids
The diaphragm, the key component of a loudspeaker, is at the heart of our acoustic engineers' research. Polyglass technology, exclusive to Focal, consists of applying fine glass microbeads to a cellulose pulp cone. This process reconciles the excellent damping of paper with the rigidity of glass. The stiffness index is almost 10 times that of polypropylene. Adjusting the mass-rigidity-damping ratio results in a remarkably linear frequency response curve, right from the membrane design stage. This innovation also significantly increases definition in the midrange register.
