Proper installation is crucial for optimal sound quality and speaker longevity. These speakers are designed for in-car audio systems.
4.1 Speaker Placement and Mounting

4.2 Ledningsforbindelser
Tilslut højttalerledningerne til din amplifier or head unit. Observe correct polarity: connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker to the positive output of the amplifier, and the negative (-) terminal of the speaker to the negative output. Incorrect polarity can lead to poor sound quality and reduced bass response.
- Positive Connection: Typically marked with a red wire or a '+' symbol.
- Negative Connection: Typically marked with a black wire or a '-' symbol.
4.3 Tweeter Adjustment
The ICU-165 speakers feature an AI/Mg inverted dome tweeter with a switch for adjusting the high-frequency response. This switch allows you to select between 'FLAT' and 'HIGH' settings to optimize the sound based on your listening preference and vehicle acoustics.

- FLAD: Provides a neutral high-frequency response.
- HØJ: Boosts high frequencies for a brighter sound.
Experiment with both settings to find the one that best suits your audio system and personal taste.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
Once installed, operate your Focal ICU-165 speakers through your vehicle's head unit or amplifier. Start with low volume levels and gradually increase to your desired listening level. Avoid excessive volume that causes distortion, as this can damage the speakers.
- Ensure your head unit's equalizer and sound settings are configured appropriately for coaxial speakers.
- For optimal performance, consider using a high-pass filter to protect the speakers from very low frequencies if you have a separate subwoofer.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Focal ICU-165 speakers require minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til forsigtigt at tørre støv af højttalermembranerne og gitrene. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
- Inspektion: Kontrollér regelmæssigt højttalerforbindelserne for tæthed, og sørg for, at ingen ledninger er flossede eller blotlagte.
- Miljøfaktorer: While the speakers have a water-resistant level, avoid direct exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
7. Fejlfinding
If you experience issues with your Focal ICU-165 speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen lyd fra højttalerne | Incorrect wiring, loose connections, amplifier off, head unit settings. | Check all wiring connections for proper polarity and tightness. Ensure amplifier is powered on and head unit output is enabled. |
| Forvrænget lyd | Volume too high, incorrect gain settings on amplifier, damaged speaker. | Reducer lydstyrken. Juster amplifier gain settings. If distortion persists at moderate volumes, inspect speakers for physical damage. |
| Mangel på bas | Incorrect wiring polarity, phase issues, inadequate enclosure. | Verify speaker wire polarity. Ensure speakers are in phase. While these are coaxial, proper mounting in a sealed environment helps bass response. |
| Harsh or dull treble | Tweeter adjustment switch setting, equalizer settings. | Adjust the 'FLAT' / 'HIGH' switch on the tweeter. Modify equalizer settings on your head unit. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact your authorized Focal dealer or a qualified car audio technician.
