Discover the world of Focal sound quality with the 165 A3. This
6.5-inch three-way kit adds a 4-inch midrange speaker to the A1's
offerings, so it can deliver even more Focal sound--extreme
dynamics, punchy bass and accurate treble, with an expansive
soundstage to fill your vehicle with crystal-clear audio. The
6.5-inch woofers boast a one-inch voice coil with excellent power
handling, a high-sensitivity magnet, and butyl rubber surround
for durability and powerful bass. The aluminum inverted dome
tweeters provide clear and accurate treble, and can be set at
three different levels using the crossovers, to provide the ideal
relative volume for its install location. Experience Focal's
"Spirit of Sound" with flawless imaging, and uncommon detail and
dynamics.
---------------------
About the Access Line
---------------------
Discover the world of Focal sound quality via a range that
reconciles technology, performance and affordability. The same
Focal character and our philosophy of "The Spirit of Sound" is
displayed by the extreme attention to detail found at every
development stage for the various transducers and crossovers. The
essential component in terms of quality of reproduction, richness
of timbre plus image detail is the inverted dome aluminum tweeter
whose inclusion represented a true challenge: how to bring a
unique Focal technology into a more affordable market segment. At
the same time, the woofers and subwoofers combine high
sensitivity and high power handling.
The humidity resistant woven glass fibre cone combines the
dynamics and precision of the mid-range while offering a deep and
articulated bass.
The 165 A3 kit adds a 4-inch midrange driver to the A1's
offerings, with the same construction as the woofer.
The woofer's power handling and reliability are remarkable thanks
to deliberately oversized voice coils, resulting in deep and
accurate bass. Click to .

The 165 A3 Woofer and 4-inch Midrange
-------------------------------------
The 6.5-inch Access woofer and 4-inch Midrange are both built
with a light and stiff cone, coupled with a butyl rubber
surround, offering a degree of quality never before encountered
at this price level. The special all weather cone will perform in
hot and humid environments without distortion or warping. The
woofer's power handling and reliability are remarkable thanks to
deliberately oversized voice coils, resulting in deep and
accurate bass. Painted DIN chassis, 20% glass fiber filled ABS
material
This strong, rigid chassis is non-magnetic and nonresonant.
All weather woven glass fiber cone
The durable, humidity-resistant cone provides dynamic bass and
precise midrange.
Phase plug
Phase plug designs control midrange out of the listening axis,
for added accuracy.
25mm (1") voice coil (woofer)
Larger voice coils provide excellent power handling, which in
turn provides a tight, well-defined low-end.
85mm (3-1/3") magnet (woofer)
High sensitivity where everything begins.
Voice coil cooling system
Provides reliable, consistent performance, no matter what kind
of abuse your system dishes out.
-----------------
The TN 44 tweeter
-----------------
Aluminum inverted dome tweeter technology offers significant
rigidity and lowers distortion. Ideal air coupling, the main
advantage of the inverted dome shape, allows a very wide
soundstage and very accurate image, unlike a convex (traditional)
dome that is moving more on its periphery than on its center,
causing a weak coil/dome energy transfer. Aluminum inverted dome
tweeter
Provides accurate treble with the utmost efficiency.
20mm (13/16") ferrofluid voice coil
Excellent power handling and heat dispersal.
---------
Crossover
---------
The 12/12dB/octave (300Hz-4kHz) separated Access crossover fully
reflects Focal's philosophy, which is oriented toward product
application and uncompromising quality requirements.
Polypropylene capacitors bring to these products high and
distortion-free dynamics. Level control available in two-way
systems allows refining the tuning of the tweeter in all
locations. Adjustable tweeter level
Adjust the tweeter level control according to location (3 level
settings) with a simple switch.
Air core inductors
Insensitive to parasite interferences.

About Focal
-----------
Innovation is key to the Focal sound. For 25 years, through the
pursuit of constant new advances in technology, Focal has been
able to develop a harmonious research and production system that
enables us to continuously improve our products and introduce new
ones, all with the same goal: the most faithful reproduction of
music. The latest example of this philosophy has been the
introduction of Beryllium in our top products, which has become a
new reference worldwide. Constantly pursuing innovation is the
embodiment of Focal's corporate strategy and that goal involves
every facet of the company. From R&D to production to quality
control, all our teams are fully involved and focused on this one
objective: continual progress through innovation.
In today's world, where globalization and the pursuit of chasing
cheaper production methods have tempted most companies to
splinter their organizations, Focal has opted to be different.
Though we have grown tremendously through the years, our R & D,
headquarters and manufacturing facilities remain based in
Saint-Etienne (France).
We have learned that true innovation is not simply work carried
out at the research department, but is also a question of
comprehensive management and the direct control of the different
production phases. The example of Beryllium is a significant one.
Only three years ago no one was capable of producing tweeters
with a pure Beryllium foil dome. Focal innovated a solution based
on research and the invention of specific in-house industrial
processes.
Such an approach has given us an important advantage over our
competitors: we develop our own technology, which allows us to
consistently provide true quality production using our own
methods. In 2008, the Focal Car range gets richer with a new
amplifier line: Solid. This perfectly sums up Focal's commitment
for high musical quality from the entry-level contrary to the
general tendency that consists in looking for the cheapest prices
in priority instead of performance.The result is music
standardization and trivialization, which is highly prejudicial
to sound quality. Focal cultivates this difference. This is the
core strength of our brand and our company. This is the Spirit of
Sound. We want to share this with you... It is our Utopia
