The Spirit of Sound ... with a kick! Developed to allow you to reach the very top levels of acoustic resolution and sound pressure, the K2 Power range symbolises Focal's expertise. Combining an evocative mix of pure sound control with detail and dynamics, speed and sophistication; the "Power Hi-Fi" concept developed by Focal has all the hallmarks of reference quality range. The aramid fibre inverted dome tweeter combines smoothness, precision and slight directiviy, optimizing imaging and producing an astonishingly broad and realistic soundstage. This key component, too often neglected, makes the difference between a good and an excellent installation.
Composite sandwich cone Both rigid and light
All K2 Power speakers feature a thermoformed, structural foam centralcore, sandwiched with hybrid Aramid/glass fibre layers. This hybrid technology ensures distortion free cones, even at high levels.
Crossover Audiophile components
K2 Power crossovers are equiped with the leading performance audiophile quality components. For optimal performance they feature tweeter level control and midrange position matching.

Distinguishing features from 165KR are:
(a) two-ohm impedance, to match the OEM amplifiers of many imported cars
(b) phase plugs
The two-ohm impedance will not present any problems when used with any modern amplifier or high-powered head unit in a conventional 4-ohm system.
The phase plugs give additional clarity and resolution to the midrange.
This kit will deliver outstanding sound-quality. Focal build speakers with sound quality as the principal aim, their research team is not controlled by the sales department. This speaker kit will no doubt be a proud successor to the 165K2P which won the 2007 Sound and Image Awards for Car Loudspeaker of the Year, and its predecessor 165KX which won the 1998 Sound and Image Award in the same category.
An 11" subwoofer is often a better choice where sound quality takes precedence over SPL (volume). These subwoofers play low, loud and clean, yet they are fast enough to follow the music accurately, without the dreadful subwoofer delay that is evident in so many systems. They play tight, accurate and deep. This is no accident; have a look at the very expensive magnets used in the motor assembly and the high-tech multi-layer cone material. You get what you pay for. Yes, there are cheaper subs which play louder. However, Focal set out to design speakers for musical enjoyment not all-out noise level. The 27KX is where SPL meets Sheer Pleasure of Listening.
