Rockford Fosgate

Why install component speakers?

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Prime R165-S

by John Pollard
Side view of R165-S 6-1/2

The woofers are built tough so they can play at high volume.

Excellent factory replacement

Whether you're building your first system or replacing some burned-out factory speakers, Rockford Fosgate's Prime speakers offer clean, powerful performance that'll keep you and your friends rockin' as you drive. Plus, Prime speakers are a great way to get Rockford Fosgate sound quality without destroying your bank account.

Better components give you better detail

The Prime R165-S 6-1/2" component speaker system sports stiff mica-injected 6-1/2" polypropylene woofers that deliver strong drums and bass, along with clean reproduction of the midrange frequencies. The separate Mylar tweeters add the excitement of strong high-frequency response to your music without a trace of harshness. Built-in crossover networks divide the frequencies going to each driver, so all your music plays faithfully. Grilles are included.

Note: The oversized terminals on these speakers won't connect to a Crutchfield wiring harness. We recommend that you buy a 10-pack of female quick slides that you can splice onto our harness.

Highlights:

  • component speaker system includes 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 woofer grilles
  • 6-1/2" mica-injected polypropylene woofer cone with foam surround
  • 1/2" Mylar balanced dome tweeter

    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

    Mica Injected Polypropylene Woofers: The woofer cones are mica injected polypropylene. This material is light weight and rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response.

    Tweeter: The 1/2" Mylar tweeters are a balanced dome design. A semi-dome tweeter has a dome placed inside a cone. Balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter. Out of the box, the tweeters are mounted in the flush mount housings. An angled surface mount housing is also included, and the back of the the flush mount housing and the top of the angled surface mount housing are combined to make the (non-angled) surface mount housing. Once mounted, the tweeters swivel so you can direct them toward the listening positions.

    Tweeter Dimensions:

      Frame Diameter Frame Width Frame Depth Cutout Diameter Mounting Height Mounting Depth
    Flush Mount 2.125" N/A N/A 1.83" 0.34" 0.752"
    Surface Mount 1.815" N/A N/A N/A 1.1" 0.66" (Screw Depth)
    Angled Surface Mount N/A 1.815" 1.845" N/A 1.661" 0.59" (Screw Depth)

    Crossovers: A 6 dB/octave high-pass crossover is integrated into the case of each tweeter. The woofers have two spades on each terminal; the wire from the tweeter, as well as the wire from the source are connected there.

    Great spreakers for the price

    Written By Anonymous, New York on Wednesday, May 22, 2013
     
    Installation was easy and sound quality is good. I definitely suggest using an amp to get more power out of them but overall I'm pleased with the product

    Not that good

    Written By Rene, Santa Rosa, Tx. on Thursday, April 25, 2013
     
    I had these installed by a pro at a local radio store. After about a year the tweeters started making a wierd noise. Upon closer inspection noticed that they had torn or broken. Could not hear the music from tweeter clearly. very bad investment that I made with these. I thought Rockford Fosgate made excellent speakers!
    Pros:
    No pros
    Cons:
    Average sound, bad tweeters

    5 these are some of the best speakers I have ever bought. Normally I'd have to out and amp on them, but these work well without.

    Rockford Rocks

    Written By Ken S., Goose Creek, SC on Friday, March 08, 2013
    Installed in a 2012 Dodge Truck 1500
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Replaced the front door factory speakers in my 2012 Ram Quad Cab and what a difference. It is amazing what a good speaker can do to a factory stereo. Installation was pretty simple. Crutchfield's instructions were clear so I knew what I was getting into. The only thing out of the ordinary was soldering the terminal clips from the speakers onto the harness supplied.
    Pros:
    Great clear sound reproduction and plenty of volume.
    Cons:
    None

    Sorry, can't agree

    Written By David, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, March 07, 2013
    Installed in a 2013 Honda Accord
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Spent the afternoon installing these into my 2013 Honda Accord EX (6-speakers), and what a royal mistake. OK, so the magnet is bigger than on the stock woofers. What I could tell with my ears is there is no way these woofers put out as much bass as I had before. How convinced am I that these speakers are not nearly as good? I re-installed the originals. FWIW, the Fosgate tweeters were felt light and insubstantial compared to stock as well.
    Pros:
    None
    Cons:
    How they sound.

    Written By Tracy F, Oceanside, CA on Saturday, February 09, 2013
    Installed in a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Replaced front speakers on my 2002 GMC Denali pickup. They sound great and easy to install. I had the whole job done in less than a half hour, this was aided by the GM speaker wire connectors and mounting kit that was included with my purchase.
    Pros:
    easy to install - about half the price of GM speakers with better sound. Didn't use the tweeters as the factorys were fine.
    Cons:
    none

    Written By Josh, New Haven, CT on Saturday, January 19, 2013
     
    I replaced my two factory speakers in the front. Im going back for the rear, great quality, smooth sound, little to no interference. I would recommend these speakers to anyone. FYI I upgraded my factory system which was a BOSE system.
    Pros:
    Great Sound, No interference, Easy Install
    Cons:
    None
