Focal AS165 3 way component system

What ohm load does the amp see using this component system with the passive crossover it comes with?

The impedence varies with frequency. This post does a pretty good job of explaining why the average across all frequencies is "about 4ohms", which is what they are rated at.

I'd be more worried about that 3.5" mid fitting in your door. I wanted a Focal set and went another way due to that.

Um, they sell brackets for that 3 inch mid. It fit perfect

But thx for the useless commentary.

For ref I have Hertz MP70.3 3 1/2 " and they fit perfectly with room to spare have a 1/2 in high density weather strip foam seal on them that seals them perfectly on door panel. Dimensions are on Hertz website.

I would test Focals 3.5 fit within return period. I believe OE tweets are 8 ohm.

Best bet is pick up an Audison AP8.9 install in OE amp location and run tweets active.

Alternatly just install the 6.5 and 3.5 wait few weeks till breaks in and see how you like it. Put sound deadening in the door while there.

Tweets are a pita thanks to pita A pillar trim and uncertain fit. At least my MP 25 tweets press fit perfectly, but I have them set at 6 DB reduction in the DSP.

lol...good luck man. If you're doing it yourself, you'll see what I mean. It's not the mounting brackets, it's the speaker depth hitting the internal door components/metal bar. But it sounds like you got it covered.

I do!! I used brackets for the mids and woofers and had no problems at all. I was just asking about what the amp was seeing as far as ohm load. I was curious. My amp is stable down to 1
5 ohms.
