KENWOOD KFC-6966S 3-Way 6x9in. Black Automotive Speaker - Pair

Better than infinity

I replace the front door OEM speakers from my 2017 Ford Explorer with this ones and the improvement in sound was from land to heaven, even without the need of an after market amplifier (although in case needed it will withstand it, at least a 200 x 4 channels). Fully recommended!!! Only thing is that one has to separately buy both the speaker connectors and the spacers (speaker frames) from "METRA".

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.

Genial
