ES 165 KX3E | 6.5″ (165mm) 3-Way Component Kit with FRAK Tweeter – Focal K2 Power Series
The Flagship of the K2 Power Legacy
The Focal ES 165 KX3E stands at the peak of the K2 Power series — a bold statement of acoustic mastery and French craftsmanship.
Designed, developed, and manufactured in Focal’s world-class Saint-Étienne workshops, this 6.5″ (165mm) 3-way component kit combines the brand’s most advanced cone, tweeter, and crossover technologies into a system engineered for absolute fidelity and dynamic precision.
Every element of the ES 165 KX3E reflects Focal’s pursuit of pure sound reproduction — from thunderous lows to crystalline highs that reveal every nuance of your music.
K2 Aramid Fibre Cone – Dynamic and Distortion-Free
At the heart of this exceptional system lies the K2 aramid fibre cone, a hallmark of the Focal sound signature.
Constructed from a multi-layer composite for optimal rigidity, lightness, and damping, it delivers the perfect balance between power and accuracy.
Expect deep, impactful bass and articulate midrange that breathes realism into every note.
This cone structure, combined with Focal’s TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround, virtually eliminates distortion and maintains exceptional control even at high volumes.
FRAK Tweeter – Ultra-Realistic, Extended Treble
The inclusion of the FRAK tweeter, developed for Focal’s K2 Power M range, redefines treble reproduction.
Crafted from an aluminium/magnesium alloy with an exclusive ‘M’-profile inverted dome, it extends frequency response beyond 40 kHz for unprecedented harmonic precision.
The result: breathtaking detail, wide dispersion, and an open, three-dimensional soundstage that immerses you completely.
Three installation options — factory location, flush mount, or angled bracket — offer total flexibility for seamless integration.
Precision Engineering for Perfect Control
Every component in the ES 165 KX3E is designed for uncompromising acoustic stability and durability:
-
TMD® surround – reduces cone resonance for ultra-clean midrange.
-
Progressive-profile spider – ensures linear movement and accurate transient response.
-
Rigid aluminium frame – guarantees mechanical strength and minimal resonance.
-
Vented voice-coil system – improves cooling and power handling.
-
Engraved serial number – a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.
Together, they form a sound platform capable of delivering studio-grade performance in your vehicle.
Audiophile-Grade Crossover – Total Tonal Control
The bi-amplifiable multi-setting crossover gives you full control of your system’s tuning.
With selectable levels (0 / +3 / –3 dB/oct), it allows precise adjustment of tweeter and midrange output to perfectly balance the soundstage to your vehicle’s acoustics.
This crossover flexibility enables professional-level system tuning and seamless amplifier integration.
Uncompromising Sound. Unmistakably Focal.
The Focal ES 165 KX3E embodies the essence of the K2 Power experience — performance, precision, and passion.
Every component is designed to transform your drive into a concert hall, with sound that is pure, powerful, and profoundly emotional.
