Kenwood

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.

Our take on the Kenwood KFC-1694PS

by John Pollard

Strong performance
Kenwood's Performance Series KFC-1694PS 6-1/2" speakers deliver the full range of your music with their multi-driver design. Each 3-way speaker features a polypropylene woofer cone with a Diamond Array pattern that increases strength, improves bass response, and reduces internal vibrations and other distortions. The strong urethane surround is extremely lightweight, increasing speaker efficiency.

Multi-driver design
A 1-9/16" water-resistant paper cone covers the midrange frequencies, providing warmth in the vocal range, while a 1/2" ceramic flat tweeter broadcasts the high frequencies effectively to complete the all-round coverage. Grilles are included.

Highlights:

  • 3-way 6-1/2" speakers (pair)
  • Diamond Array Pattern polypropylene woofer
  • urethane foam surround
  • 1-9/16" water-resistant paper cone midrange, 1/2" ceramic flat tweeter
  • power range: 2-70 watts RMS (240 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 80-22,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 88 dB
  • mounting tabs for use in 6-3/4" openings
  • depth: 1-7/8"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Our Product Research Team

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

    Features

    Cone Woofers: The woofer cones are textured Polypropylene with urethane surrounds. Polypropylene woofers are resistant to the moisture and temperature extremes found in automotive applications.

    Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1-9/16" cone tweeter and a 1/2" ceramic, flat super-tweeter for added high frequency reproduction.

    Mounting: The KFC-1694PS will fit in in standard three-hole and four-hole 6-1/2 applications. They can also be easily mounted in 6-3/4 applications, but because the extra screw holes create an air leak in the larger opening, speaker baffles must be used.

    Kenwood KFC - 1694PS Speakers

    Written By Rudy L, Gray, TN on Tuesday, March 12, 2013
    Installed in a 2001 Nissan Frontier
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I used these speakers to replace the factory speakers in my 01 Nissan Frontier. The difference is wonderful. The new speakers are much better than stock speakers. The Installation was very easy thanks to the wiring kit and the door panel removal instructions provided with the speakers.
    Pros:
    Easy installation and great sound.
    Cons:
    None.

    Burned Out Quick!

    Written By Dan, Clarksville, TN on Sunday, March 10, 2013
    Installed in a 2007 Toyota Matrix
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Installed these speakers in the front panels of my Toyota Matrix. I have a Sony Xplod MEX-BT2900 receiver with an RMS of 17 watts and a peak of 52 watts, so these speakers should operate well within the limits of power output. Unfortunately the right speaker started to distort and go out within a few days, and 2 months later it is completely dead. The left speaker is beginning to follow suit after just 3 months installed. I will never buy a Kenwood product again.

    They work....just not at a loud level

    Written By Majorhi, Wilsonville,OR on Thursday, March 07, 2013
     
    Installed easily in the rear doors of my car with the adapter brackets and wiring plug. Has decent sound at low levels. Sounds better than the broken non working factory speakers they replaced.
    Pros:
    Quick install and fit as they should. Decent sound at conversation volume.
    Cons:
    Can't handle the Monsoon systems power in my 2000 Jetta at levels louder than just above road noise.

    Awesome sound

    Written By Thanatos, Huntsville, TX on Saturday, February 16, 2013
    Installed in a 2012 Toyota Tundra
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Mounted four of these in the doors( 2 front and 2 rear) of a Tundra Crewmax. They sound great and handle the higher RMS with the amplifier for a very clear and crisp sound quality. Use the rear mounting brackets and invert them with longer bolts for easy installation.

    Excellent sound

    Written By Chip, Fayetteville, GA on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
    Installed in a 2001 Nissan Frontier
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These replaced the original speakers in the truck I am giving my 16 yr old. The sound is excellent. No distortion with many different types of music and with the radio turned up all of the way. With bass boost turned on, the sound was still better than expected. Good deep sound.
    Pros:
    3-way with good sound reproduction from high frequencies to the low frequencies. Speakers fit perfectly in the factory speaker mounts.
    Cons:
    none
