Focal 165 KP or Focal 165 K2P? Help me decide!
Anyone recommend these? And whats the difference between the two? I believe one has a bigger magnet, ect?
Focal 165 K2P- $499.00
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=13571
Rated @ 100 watts. I am leaning towards this one
Focal 165 KP- $419.00
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=13570
This one is rated @80 watts
Need serious advice, I am getting one of these two compenet speakers.
Will they fit in the doors, tweeters also? Thanks for any help. It stime to toss my kickers and get some real sound out of my doors. I am so sick of my rear focals sounding louder than the doors.

I'm in the same situation as you are. I think I'm going to opt for the 165KP, only because I'm going to be running 75 watts to them. So I feel that this speaker is better suited for my application.
BTW I believe onine car stereo doesn't have either of them in stock. That place has great prices, but I dont think they stock anything because I've called for like 7 different items and they don't have any of them in stock.

just so you know, speaker power ratings are pretty much B.S. No matter what a speaker is rated at as far as power handling goes, what destroys a speaker is power clipping i.e. distortion caused by weak amps that can't produce a clean signal at high output. Go with whichever one SOUNDS better and don't worry about the ratings.

i don't know where you got that from but they fit perfect in the stock locations with no mods. As for which ones to get, go for KP2. Focals are by far the best sounding components I have ever heard. If you are having trouble getting some, let me know, my friend owns a stereo shop in Dallas (mesquite) called Dynamic Audio. They deal with Focal a lot. PM me if you need to get in contact with them, they have plenty in stock.

Plus I got them dirt cheap. Somone had stolen the pair of tweets and my friends shop threw in a pair of the Utopia tweeters instead of the tweets that come with the KPs. So i lucked out.

GUys, I have been having problems with my KP2's being too brite and not producing enough mid bass. I have them driven with a Rockford Fosgate 300 running at about 75watts. Can anyone help?
