My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
Well they don't exactly stink but they are not worth the price tag! I have a pair of Focal K2 Power 165 KR's. They are excellent for music like Skrillex and vocal track's but not a fan of how they sound with rock or rap. Lower volumes are not much to right home about either.
I am looking to replace these 6.5" component's with something else, better, and CHEAPER! Any idea's? Was thinking about the Hertz Hi-Energy 6.5" component's.

Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
I have them hooked to a JL Audio Slash 300/4v2 in bridged mode with the gain down to push them at around 90 watt rms. Like I said with certain music genres they are awesome but lacking on other's. I have the Focal K2 130 KRC's that I think sound way better across a wider range. So I don't know?
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
im guessing you do not have the doors completely sealed.
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
Yep, guessing your install STINKS!
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
I have them mounted in my large E-250 van solid walnut panel where the LCD is located. There is actually a sealed padded compartment behind each speaker. I thought I might need a signal processor for the large area I am dealing with but I am not sure.
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
It is sealed tight trust me!
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
Still gonna doubt that the install is correct. lol K2's definitely sound awesome with the right install.
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
They just might not have the sound you like. I heard a set of K2's with the upgrade kit several years ago, wasn't impressed at all for, especially for the money he spent.
I always recommend that people listen to speakers before making a purchase vs getting feedback on websites. Nobody can tell you what your ears like.
What exactly doesn't sound right about them? Might be able to do some tweaking to get them sounding better...

post pics. what are you looking to do? what k2 set do you have?

2-way external crossover with 3 tweeter levels, 2 tweeter slopes, and 2 midrange level settings
2-ohm impedance
power range: 6-80 watts RMS (160 watts peak power)frequency response: 70-20,000 Hz
These things I put in red are the reason you are having issues. Likely giving too much power and way below recomemded freq response...
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
They just sound flat and not as crisp as I would like at times. I don't want a bright/harsh sound either. My ear's are just saying they should be better.
Re: My Focal K2 165 KR's STINK!
@Subzero they are the K2 Power 165KR 6.5's.
