Kenwood KFC-6966S 6 x 9 Inch 400-Watt 3-Way Flush Mount Coaxial Car Speaker Easy Installation - Pair

Old speakers: Open circuit (dead) I installed these Kenwood 6x9" speakers in the rear of my old 97 Bonneville. They were slightly too large for the mounting trays on the rear deck so I had to enlarge slightly with my Dremel grinder. Had to remove about 1/8" in the corners and then about a 1/16" around the rest of the opening. Took me about 30 minutes of grinding this plastic material using a metal grinding bit. The old Delco speakers were 10 ohms so I searched for 8 ohm speakers which are very hard to find in 6x9, so I ended up buying these Kenwood 4 ohm speakers. Also, since all they give you is a little pigtail wire off the speakers, I had to do some soldering and crimping after cutting off the old connectors in the trunk. Being an electronics guy, I didn't want to take the chance of overloading (possibly frying) the audio amplifier so I installed a 4 ohm resistor (purchased here at Amazon) in series (now 8 ohm load) to approximate the old loads. The amplifier probably could have handled 4 ohms, but I didn't want to take a chance since I had no specs on it. And... you will notice on the speakers that I added the fiber cushioning gasket which I removed from my old speakers with a razor blade. If you're installing these on a metal surface, I would definitely recommend putting some sort of spacer cushion like these on the speakers to avoid any rattle or unwanted vibrations. So how does it sound? Very good! Good medium-low bass and crisp higher frequencies. It was more work than thought it would be but ya, it was worth it.

Good Sound and Bass For price..

Fits perfectly in the vehicle. Easy set, plug in and played. Sound quality is great and not too loud. My dad was really happy to be listening to music again while he drives around town.

Great sounding speakers but the wire connection ends and the connection to the speaker are very cheaply done flimsy

Great upgrade for my 05 civic coupe. Affordable and dependable, should last a while.

Great Speakers!! I have a 2015 Dodge Dart Sxt and only have the speakers that’s I changed in the front due to people or young ones in the back. (Stocks are in the rear) That’s all I need the kenwood’s as always do not disappoint. With the signature bass and clarity Kenwood is alway in the top tier. Always have and always will be a Kenwood Buyer. Much thanks!

These fit perfect in my 2021 Ram doors. Sound great.

This speaker does not fit a17 Ram 1500 door. The cage structure is too big and the magnet sit to deep in the door. Appears to be good quality.
