4.2 Collegamenti di cablaggio
Collega i cavi degli altoparlanti al tuo 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.
- Connessione positiva: Typically marked with a red wire or a '+' symbol.
- Collegamento negativo: Typically marked with a black wire or a '-' symbol.
4.3 Regolazione del tweeter
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.

- PIATTO: Fornisce una risposta neutra alle alte frequenze.
- ALTO: 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. Istruzioni per l'uso
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. Manutenzione
Focal ICU-165 speakers require minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per rimuovere delicatamente la polvere dai coni e dalle griglie degli altoparlanti. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.
- Ispezione: Controllare periodicamente che i collegamenti degli altoparlanti siano ben saldi e assicurarsi che nessun filo sia sfilacciato o esposto.
- Fattori ambientali: While the speakers have a water-resistant level, avoid direct exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
If you experience issues with your Focal ICU-165 speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessun suono dagli altoparlanti | 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. |
| Suono distorto | Volume too high, incorrect gain settings on amplifier, damaged speaker. | Ridurre il volume. Regolare amplifier gain settings. If distortion persists at moderate volumes, inspect speakers for physical damage. |
| Mancanza di bassi | 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.
