Rockford Fosgate

Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

    Wow!

    Written By randjf, Santee, CA on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
     
    Bass as low as 57 cycles? Really? Really. Haven't bought car speakers in years. These are impressive. They replaced the stock speakers in my 2004 Mazda 6. I was planning on eventually adding a subwoofer, but don't feel the need right now. Bass response isn't butt-thumping like a sub, but it IS gut-grabbing. I'm hearing things in the songs on my CDs that I haven't heard before. Probably never will install a sub. Very impressive!
    Pros:
    Impressive reproduction throughout the listening range. Especially the bass.
    Cons:
    None.

    awesome sound and bass

    Written By l187, San Antonio, Tx on Thursday, February 14, 2013
    Installed in a 2009 Mazda 3
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    It took me an hour to install in my 2009 mazda 3 but ive never done this before. Instructions were straight foward, just a little hesitant when snapping the panel off. Ive read reviews about people saying their new speakers are tight and dont have as much bass as the factory ones but thats not the case here. Made my beads hanging from rear view mirror vibrate. Used the same screws that the factory had, and the wires were plug n play.. Sound is awesome even at loud levels. Im sure it will sound even better with a head unit. And thats that ive only installed two of em in the front doors..
    Pros:
    Awesome highs and bass,
    Cons:
    None so far as i just installed em. Will get the same speakers for rear soon....

    Good sound quality. Construction and materials appropriate for automotive applications.
    Pros:
    They fit. Sound good.
    Cons:
    No protective screens. The original Ford truck application front speakers had a protective grill. I believe the door panel is enough protection.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    It's been many years since I replaced any electronics in a vehicle. I forgot just how easy Crutchfield makes every step from ordering to install. Granted, all I installed in my 2011 F150 Fx4, were door speakers, the instructions made the install simple. And these speakers really surprised me. I'm trying to piece together a better system to replace the pathetic factory system and these speakers were step 1. I'll be ordering a head unit, amp, subs etc...next and look forward working with Crutchfield. Next, I'll start on my 2013 Vette! Thanks Crutchfield!
    Pros:
    Just a great customer focused company with great products.
    Cons:
    None

    Not impressed at all

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I was replacing the door speakers in my stock 07 Miazda 6, and after putting these speakers in I was not impressed at all. The stock speakers sounded much better than these, and my car didnt come with the bose system. I will be returning them, and I am completely unsatisfied with them. I wish i wouldve spent more to get a better bang for my buck.
    Cons:
    not very good sound quality

    Great Speakers!

    Written By Blake J., Decatur, IL on Sunday, January 27, 2013
    Installed in a 2004 Ford Ranger
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I installed 4 Rockford Fosgate Prime speakers into all 4 doors of my 2004 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab. These speakers are fantastic, ESPECIALLY for the price. The high's and low's are incredible, and even with the stock stereo in my truck, I can still fin tune the sound to fit any genre of music from metal, to jazz, to electronic, and everything in between. The bass is probably the weakest aspect of the speakers, but this is understandable as they are only 6 x 8 speakers, and therefore not capable of producing a lot of bass. Regardless, the door panels of my compact truck allow for significant resonance for the speakers, and the bass that they do produce should be sufficient for the average listener. However, I listen to a lot of metal and electronic music, so I will be investing in a sub-woofer later on to improve the bass. These speakers have a very appealing price, and the sound quality is much better than I had expected for the price-tag.
    Pros:
    Highs Mids Overall Sound Quality Ease of installation (through Crutchfield's Ford Wiring Harness)
    Cons:
    Possibly the bass, but that is due to the size of the speakers, not their quality. You probably won't get much better results even with a more expensive speaker. It is still sufficient regardless, although not as extraordinary as the high's and low's.

    Written By electricianjoel, Norfolk, NE on Saturday, January 19, 2013
    Installed in a 2010 Ford E Series
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Bought these along with a JVC KDX50BT head unit. I've always wanted a pair of Rockford Fosgate's and thought this would be a perfect time to do so. I installed them in my 2010 Ford E-350 work van. These are an upgrade from the factory 25Watt 6x8's. I figured since I am in there most of the time the way it is, I might as well have it be as enjoyable as possible. I installed these yesterday and were a breeze to install with the Mastersheet provided by Crutchfield. Once again, you guys never fail to amaze! It took all of the guess work out on how to install. The sound of these speakers is awesome. I usually listed to hard rock and these speakers did not disappoint! The sounds are very good. I am not an expert but I do think these sound VERY good!!!
    Pros:
    Easy install. Great mastersheet to help. Great sound. Great low price!
    Cons:
    None. All around good speaker!

    Pretty Good Buy

    Written By Danny V, Dallas, TX on Thursday, January 03, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I ordered these and they came, as always, within a few days from Crutchfield. Thumbs up there. I had no problem putting them in thanks to the master sheet. Two thumbs up. However I was really disappointed with the quality. The bass is definitely an improvement over stock, at-least at lower volumes. Mids were the most disappointing, but hey it is a two way speaker for cheap..
    Pros:
    Better than stock
    Cons:
    Doesn't live up to the 4.5 star review

    I installed 4 of these speakers in a 01 F-350 to replace the factory ones. Paired it with a Pioneer DEH-P9400BH and they sound awesome! At first they left a little to be desired, but the more they are played, the better they sound.

    Great sound for the money.
