User manual
READ FIRST!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
The exclamation mark represented in an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert users
to the existence of important instructions
in the user manual relating to the use and
maintenance of the device.
1. Read these
instructions.
2. Keep these
instructions.
3. Heed all the
warnings.
4.Follow all the
instructions.
5. To avoid damaging
your hearing,
do not listen to
loudspeakers at
high volumes for
long periods of
time. Listening to
loudspeakers at high
volumes can cause
damage to the user’s
ears and may lead
to hearing problems
(temporary
or permanent
deafness, buzzing
in the ears, tinnitus,
hyperacusis).
Exposure to
excessive volumes
(over 85 dB) for
more than one
hour can cause
irreparable damage
to your hearing.
6. If a subwoofer
is installed in
your vehicle, it
is important to
secure it firmly. We
recommend that you
attach the enclosure
to the floor or
chassis of the vehicle
for safety.
If the subwoofer
is not properly
secured, it could
become a projectile
in the event of
an accident. This
point is even
more important
if the subwoofer
is installed in a
hatchback, a station
wagon, a utility
vehicle or a van.
7. If cables or
harnesses are
provided, use them
the proper way
(like mentioned in
this user manual)
without replacing or
modifying them.
8. If a fuse is included
in the kit or harness,
use only same
rating one in case of
replacement.

Please validate your Focal-JMlab warranty,
it is now possible to register
your product online:
www.focal.com/warranty
Thank you for choosing Focal kits and sharing our passion for
sound and for music, expressed with precision and purity:
“Listen Beyond”. These high-tech speaker drivers incorporate
enhanced Focal features in speaker driver design to achieve a
powerful, high-quality sound. To get the very best out of your
system and to exploit the full performance of its speaker drivers,
we recommend that you read this booklet, then store it in a
safe place to refer to in the future. Any problems caused by
failure to follow the instructions may invalidate your guarantee.
For optimum results, we recommend that you have the system
installed by a professional.
Important recommendations
First of all, check the space available for fitting the speaker drivers
(refer to the plans on the packaging) then proceed with the cutting
required. If mounted in the factory location, check that there is
sufficient space between the speaker driver and the protective
grille.
• Clear the speaker drivers of any metal shavings and dust
particles.
• Clean carefully before mounting the speaker drivers.

Conditions of warranty
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by
the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor can
provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty
cover extends at least to that granted by the legal warranty in force
in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.

• Alumium-magnesium tweeter installation
(PS 165 FXE/PS 165 F3E/PS 130 FE/PS 165 FE/PS 165 FSE)
There are 3 mounting options:
Flush-fitted mounting - (fig E)
Allow for custom cutting; insert the tweeter as delivered.
Angled surround mounting - (fig F)
Choose the angle (25 or 45°), fix the surround using the screws
supplied, thread the wires then insert the tweeter with its grille
into the surround.
Free integrated mounting - (fig G)
Detach the grille by pushing the “Focal” ring towards the back of
the tweeter. Insert the mounting spacer around the tweeter. Fit the
whole unit behind the mounting location grille.
Fitting the crossovers - (fig H)
The crossovers must be fitted (using supplied screws or double-
sided screws) in a dry, preferably well-ventilated, place. To open
the enclosure, press following the arrows on the diagram opposite.
If the filters are not easily accessible, proceed with the wiring and
adjustments before fitting permanently.
• Tweeter level adjustment - (fig I)
The switch placed inside the crossover allows you to adjust the
tweeter level according to your taste and the location of speaker
drivers in your cabin, in order to achieve the best possible sound
reproduction.
Too much treble produces an aggressive sound, and too little alters
the definition and dynamics.
If the tweeter is installed very close to the bass-midrange speaker
driver, adjust it to 0.
If the tweeter is installed on the dashboard or above the door, and
the woofer is located in the door, adjust it to -3 or 0dB.
• Coaxial kit PC 165 FE - (fig J)
This coaxial kit is equipped with an integrated tweeter crossover
(6dB/oct); please follow the general installation recommendations.
NB: the tweeter stand cannot be angled or rotated; it has been
designed to be as compact as possible, and therefore compatible
with as many different spaces as possible.
