The W 165 A is designed for high excursion in a shallow installation space. Visaton specifies a glass-fibre cone, metal basket and robust rubber surround, with materials and adhesives selected for operation in extreme heat and cold. It is rated at 60 W, has a 2 Ω nominal impedance, 84 dB mean sound pressure level and a −40 to 150 °C temperature range.
Typical applications
- Custom loudspeaker systems
- Replacement-driver projects
- Low-frequency or full-range duties described by the manufacturer

Installation and cabinet guidance
Use the manufacturer drawing to confirm cut-out, depth and fixing positions before machining the enclosure.
Connect an amplifier suitable for the stated nominal impedance and observe terminal polarity where marked.
The stated IP protection applies to the front only when the driver is built into a sealed enclosure; Visaton notes that bonding the driver and adding a front cover or grille may be necessary.
