Tough and responsive

Kenwood uses a durable polypropylene woofer with a treated cloth surround, so the KFC-6965S speaker keeps pumping out the bass even through the harsh conditions in a car. Add a 2" PEI cone tweeter and a 1/2" ceramic supertweeter to the mix, and you'll get a smooth transition between your music's highs and lows. Grilles are included, so you can also use these speakers in a custom installation.

Q
If I'm replacing a 2ohm speaker and go with a 4ohm speaker will I need an amp? And if so if I'm not replacing all of the 9 speakers how would that work?
lane b.  Dec 18, 2017
2 answers
A
The higher resistance of the 4 Ohm aftermarket speaker will get fewer watts from the stock amplifier and produce less output as a result.

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your speakers I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Q
The toyota mounting brackets have a "drip shield" on the upper radius of the bracket. This shield extends into the door cavity and above the speaker to prevent rain from the window dripping down on the cone. Do your brackets do the same?

I bought the speakers for a 2014 GMC Sierra. But I think all newer trucks have rain shield.
lionel  Oct 20, 2015

no these went into a montero in the rear. no rain worries. but i did have to modify the hole to make them fit a little. they werent a direct fit 6x9 replacement.

Q
Do you need an Amp for these for best quality? Or will an RMS of around 14 Watt still sound decent (better than factory)?
justin  Aug 03, 2015

A
Yes, always amp up your speakers. Lack of power will blow a speaker quicker than to much power.
dallas  Aug 07, 2015
A
Suprisingly, they sound much better than factory speakers even without an amp. I've had them installed for about a year with a kenwood stereo, no plans for an amp.
henry  Aug 04, 2015

Hard to say without knowing what "factory" sounds like. I can say this though, these were 100 times better than OEM in the 04 Impala. Even better when we matched them up to a Kenwood head unit.
robert w  Aug 04, 2015
A
It depends on what kind of sound your listening for but the RMS of 14 watts is better than stock. I use an amp for my sound but I got two 12" sub to go with it.
lionel  Aug 04, 2015
Q
These speakers come with supplied adapter or I have to buy it separately?

Why does it say that this does not fit my car when my stock rear deck speakers are 6x9?
