Rockford Fosgate Prime R165-S 6.5” 2-Way Component Speaker System (Pair)

You just can not beat a good quality brand like rockford fosgate! Value , sound quality and build quality . Just a good old school speaker that does what it has to do !

Great buy! Sounds really good!

This set is great sounds great I was very impressed and surprised with the sound they sounded crisp and clear paired with the right equipment.

I've just replaced all 8 factory speakers in my 2004 GMH Monaro/Pontiac GTO/Vauxhall Monaro and these R165S went into the front door (main speakers) and dash top (tweeters), along with extensive acoustic sheeting, and I couldn't be happier. The factory 200w RMS Blaupunkt head unit is now showing its real class, and I've dropped my original plan to change the head unit or add amps to the system. The main speaker fitted with zero modification. I bent the bar that the factory speakers were fitted on to get a better angle on the tweeters, but that's the full extent of mods required. The tweeters can be run from the built in crossover from the main, but I got a better frequency response and more authentic sound using the original tweeter channels. I am getting some unwelcome noise at full volume on tracks with heavy bass, but most of that is coming from less than perfect panel fit on the front doors. I'll fix this when I get a couple of hours spare. FYI - 6.5" Sony Explod 2 ways went into the rear seat side panels & 6.5" Rockford full range 3 ways running from the factory amp replaced the factory "subwoofers" in the rear parcel shelf, which were boxed in very tidily given their minimal height. No subwoofers, no problems. If looking for authentic reference sound the bass volume is adequate and only a few lower end herz are missed. However, if youre a big doof doofer then you would be left wanting.

I have installed quite a few systems over the past 40+ years. I like the sound of these speakers. 20 years ago you would have paid $200+ to get this quality sound. The price is dirt cheap. I generally install a dedicated sub when I install a system, so I roll these off at 90hz. Bass wasn't a factor in my consideration when buying these. For $20.00 more you can get some Alpine separates that have a more balanced sound. If you're on a budget then here you go. VALUE for your money. My one gripe. The flush mount tweeter retaining rings couldn't be made cheaper. I found the speakers difficult to mount perfectly flat. The retaining ring is not designed to apply pressure. It sits 3 or 4 mm behind the mounting hole. I believe it's to prevent the tweeter from just falling out. It's really a poor design. I placed a slim foam pad and cut out a hole the size of the speaker. This now sits between the speaker and retaining ring. It applies a little pressure to hold everything in place. The retaining ring can EASILY pop off. I applied a small dab of plastic glue in 2 opposite spots on the ring. Correcting this issue wasted about an hour of my time. So to sum it up, great sound for the money if your on a budget. If you have some skill you can flush mount the tweeters. Sound: B+

nice quality you cant compete with this brand

I bought these to go into a 2009 Hyudai Accent to replace the stock speakers. The good news is that they sound pretty good. The bad news is that the tweeter mounts were designed by an absolute moron. At first glance it appears that the tweeters have 2 mounting options: flared rim for flush mounting, or angled surface mount. In reality the "flush mount" brackets still require the mounting screws to use the same screw holes as the surface mount (through the back of the tweeters' speaker housing). Add to that the fact that the tweeter is encased in a rounded ball-like frame which causes it to be more bulky that the speaker size indicates. This caused me a lot of trouble and I had to use a dremmel tool to retro fit the old mounting bracket of my factory tweeter to fit the rounded housing of the new tweeter. The end result: they sound great, but I would definitely not recommend these speakers if you want to mount the tweeter inside your door. The tweeter housing is specifically designed for mounting on the dash or other surface.

Nice crisp clean sound very impressive

ロックフォードらしく元気のいい音でした。 国産には無い魅力です。 別体が多いクロスオーバーが本体内に？組み込んであるのでトリムに隙間が少ない車種でも問題なく付きました。 省スペースで助かります。

Bought this set awhile ago, long term review here and all I gotta say is they are amazing, top notch sound quality and the mids even have some base to even out my setup with mids in the rear and a 10 sub in the trunk.

Like the integrated crossover feature, one component i have to think about when installing in a tight place

Gran calidad y excelente sonido. Muy contento.

Also der Lautsprecher ist Preis/Leistung und vorallem von der qualität echt gut. Aber Achtung bei den Größen: -Lautsprecher-Abdeckung ist 171mm -Lautsprecher mit den 4 Haltenasen an der Seite 165mm -Lautsprecher ohne den Haltenasen (aber mit befestigungsring/chassis) 157,8mm Dies hatte bei mir zufolge, obwohl der vorhergehende 165mm hatte, einen 3-4mm kleinen spalt hatte und somit der Lautsprecher nicht richtig abdichtet. Darum gibt es nur 4 Sterne, da das Problem schnell gelöst werden könnte in dem man von der Wunderbar detailierten Gebrauchsanweisung die Bilder der Maße reinstellen könnte (Wo übrigens gleich alle Maße der Prime Serie aufgeführt sind. Sozusagen ab der 2. Bestellung habt Ihr dann den Lautsprecher mit Richtigem Maß
