So after 6 years with my Focal 165K2P components, the drivers side 6.5" driver went out.

Took the door panel out and it is stiff as a bored. The problem with Focals is they are F'n expensive. As much as I want to tell myself to get a cheaper set, I know I will get buyer's remorse if I dont go back to Focal. Wanted to vent, will be spending some $$ on a new set soon

 

Did you know ppl use this way too much...

 

only six years on expensive speakers? Doesn't sound long enough to me

 

I agree, was hoping they would last a lot longer

 

While I do agree, in the end they are "high-performance" speakers. Either way; still sucks I have a set of Excelons in my CR-V and I love the system. Those aren't good enough though?

 

The prices for those speakers are staggering, only six years is the ghey

 

I used to have the rep's phone number, let me see if I can dig it up for you. While I doubt they will replace it for you, he may be able to set you up with a replacement driver at a really reasonable price. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

 

I agree that Focals are expen$ive, and they do provide great sound. I’ve had my 165 V2 (Slim) for 8 years now. I’m in a moderate climate, although it does get quite cold where I live.

I wonder if the heat in Texas producing extreme temperatures in a car’s interior is particularly hard on speakers.

definitely

 

Wow Op, I just looked up your component set on Amazon and it is $749! I would be pissed if that happened to me. Hopefully the rep can help you out and get you a replacement for a discounted price.

 

Oh noes. I just had mine installed.

 

You will enjoy them
