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.

I have an older car and wasn't looking to spend much for speakers. I got a 6x9 adapter and wire harness added to these speakers. For less than $100 and an hour of my time, these sound far superior to the generic factory installed speakers. Would recommend for a cheap solution.

Sounds good but most definitely not a direct fit for a 2008 dodge 2500,requires opening the factory speaker hole up

The media could not be loaded. Me encantaron, suenan muy bien, tienen muy buen bajo, lo único que no calzaron a la perfección en la base que es para 6x9, son un poco más anchas en la parte del cono, por ende no calzaron al 100% pero quedaron bien. 100% recomendadas.

Speakers working well on my 2010 Toyota Highlander (along with the bracket kit I bought) and I’m very impressed by the quality and sound of them.

Nice 6x9 speakers HOWEVER the speaker did not fit to doors of my Dodge Ram as stated in the amazon fitment guide.Returned speakers.Ultimately orders replacement two 2ohm woofer door speakers from Crutchfield who only had 1 application that would fit my application.

Great speakers I’m under powering mine off stock wires right now and they still sound crisp after messing with some settings they have some decent base but keep there mids well, they sound like they cost double what I paid and if I had more spots for them I’d definitely buy them again

Had to make minor modifications, great sound, worth it.
