The ES 165 K2 kit is composed of two 6½” (165 mm) woofers and has a very high sensitivity (92.8 dB/oct).
The speaker drivers of the ES 165 K2 kit feature the K2 Power line’s famous yellow Kevlar® cones. Light, rigid and with excellent damping, they provide extremely dynamic sound and perfect definition. Paired with the new TMD suspension, there’s no distortion whatsoever. The phase plug in the centre of the cone improves sound dispersion around the vehicle.
The treble is reproduced by the two ‘M’-shaped aramid-fibre TKM inverted dome tweeters equipped with high-fidelity bi-amplified crossovers. High frequencies (up to 22 kHz) are perfectly reproduced, smoothly and with precision.
The speaker drivers used for the K2Power have been completely redesigned. Each component is the result of extensive research in acoustics to push back the limits of performance, of power and of precision! The K2Power Kevlar® cone, a product of unique expertise Made In Focal, is to this day second to none. Composed of an ultra-light foam structure sandwiched between a thin layer of Kevlar® aramid fibres, and a layer of glass fibres, the K2Power cone combines three key factors of quality acoustics:
- Rigidity
- Lightness
- Damping, for precise and dynamic sound.
TMD SUSPENSION / SAY GOODBYE TO DISTORTION
The new K2 Power TKM tweeter features an exclusive “M”-shaped structure. This new-generation aramid-fibre inverted dome tweeter provides great precision in the very high end, and its combination with a “push-pull” motor with IAL2 technology extends the low end of the frequency response and provides extraordinary harmonic balance.

The new Radial VC cooling system for speaker driver voice coils expels hot air from the voice coil towards the bottom of the magnet through 6 holes. This improves control over the voice coil temperature, limiting the effects of thermal compression and improving reliability. This significantly increases the efficiency of the speaker driver. It also improves dynamics and produces a more powerful sound
Progressive spider profile / IMPROVED LINEARITY AND PRECISION
The progressive spider profile of K2 Power speaker drivers is designed to provide a full-bodied sound at low levels and to increase linearity, precision and dynamic range
For improved reliability / AN OPTIMISED CROSSOVER
The components used for the new K2 Power crossovers were selected specifically and optimised in order to improve control over the effects of heat dissipation. These components, which are fundamental to managing the various channels and for the soundstage, are now even more reliable.
