Focal K2s in 2nd Gen?

Good Evening TW,
I’ve been searching through threads looking to see if anyone has installed Focal K2s in the front doors of a 2nd Gen Tacoma (specifically the 165 KX2). Crutchfield says they do not fit, but I’m wondering if anyone has done it with a custom adapter and if it’s possible. I’ve found threads where people have installed them in 3rd Gens but couldn’t find any 2nd Gen installs.

Any insight would be appreciated. I found a really good deal on a set but don’t want to get them if I can’t get them to fit.

 

good luck. they are worth some effort.

btw i have an SQ setup (more or less) with 6.5 K2P's up front and no rears to muddy it up. and a 13TW-5 in the back. really great when they get enough power.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I have an Alpine PDX F6 that I’ll be running. It puts out 150x4 and those speakers are rated at 120 watts. I’ve heard that Focals sound a lot better when powered by an amp. I ended up ordering them so I’ll find out soon. Hopefully I can get them to fit without too many issues.

 

that is totally true about the Focals. originally i ran them off a 90w/ch Alpine from yesteryear. then i put them on a bridged Xtant and they were seeing about 220w/ch up front. that was great. then i replaced the Xtant with a JL HD 600/4 bridged to put out 300w/ch. this is the best yet for sure. these things just eat up power. i run them with a HPF at 100Hz 24db/oct so i can push them w/o distortion.

 

That’s impressive. I didn’t realize they can handle that much power. I can’t wait to get everything installed. I’ve been stacking up parts for a few months now. Hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to get everything in.

 

Yeah, i’ve got the KX2’s in the front doors. Used Taco Tunes spacers. Really nice install

 

Glad to hear they fit.

 

Speak louder! Can’t hear a damn thing.
