  • Mylar balanced-dome tweeter: The tweeter design handles the system’s high-frequency range.
  • Included grille and mounting hardware: The supplied pieces help finish and secure the installation.
  • Sold as a pair: Each package contains two speakers for a front or rear channel upgrade.

Why Choose This Product?

The R165-S gives you a dedicated tweeter alongside each 6.5-inch midrange driver, rather than relying on a single full-range speaker. Its stated frequency response spans 60 Hz to 20 kHz, covering a broad range of music playback.

The 4-ohm impedance and 40-watt RMS rating help you compare the speakers with your available head-unit or amplifier power before choosing an upgrade.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

The system is designed for direct OEM installations, but vehicle fit depends on the available mounting space and layout. Check the mounting depths—1.97 inches for the midrange and 1.06 inches for the tweeter—against your installation locations before purchase.

The package includes mounting hardware, a grille, and a trim ring. Confirm your audio system’s power and speaker connections are suitable for the stated 4-ohm load and power handling.
