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.

Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P1683

by Jo Greene

Rockford Fosgate showcases their fanatical commitment to sonic excellence in the Punch Series of speakers, amps, and subs. If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd.

Rockford Fosgate designed the Punch P1683 6"x8" speakers as a high-grade replacement for your factory speakers. Each speaker features a responsive polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround that'll stand up to hours of high-volume jams. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the surround to the cone that yields up to 25% more cone area, for fuller sound and stronger performance. The dome tweeter and supertweeter provide clear, extended highs that can hold their own when the bass gets heavy.

Grilles not included — factory grilles are suitable for most installations.

Highlights:

  • 3-way 6"x8" speakers (pair)
  • mineral-filled polypropylene woofer
  • butyl rubber surround
  • 3/4" and 1/2" polyetherimide (PEI) dome tweeter and supertweeter
  • Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST™) increases cone area
  • power range: 6-65 watts RMS (130 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 65-24,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 90 dB
  • top-mount depth: 2-5/16"
  • warranty: 1 year

    Features

    Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofers: The woofer cones are mineral filled, injection-molded polypropylene. This molding process assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also light weight and rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response.

    Butyl Rubber Surrounds: The butyl rubber surrounds dampen unwanted harmonic distortion while maintaining linear geometry under extreme weather conditions. This leads to less distortion, superior frequency response, and superior durability.

    VAST Surround: The Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST) increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without increasing the size of the basket.

    Tweeters: Each speaker features two tweeters, 1/2" and 3/4" domes. The material used is PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide); PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.

    Speaker Terminals: These speakers have 0.25" wide positive (+) terminals and 0.187" wide negative (-) terminals, which are too large for the vehicle-specific speaker harnesses supplied by Crutchfield for many vehicle applications. It is recommended that a pack of assorted female quick slides (item # 263FQS10PK) be purchased and spliced to the harnesses to adapt them to the speaker terminals.

    Fosgate P1683

    Written By Rpleva, Schuylkill Haven, Pa on Monday, June 03, 2013
    Installed in a 2004 Ford F-150
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Replaced factory radio, with a Sony-MEX-BT3100P-CD-Receiver-w-App-Remote-Bluetooth, Sound Ordinance amp and Pioneer 2-way speakers, just not enough base for me, so I upgraded to the Punch 3-way speakers, What a difference! You will not be disappointed spending a little more money
    Pros:
    Excellent value, sound is very good.
    Cons:
    Had to use my hand grinder to round off 2 corners of mounting ears to fit front door speakers, no big deal. Did not have to do this with the rear speakers

    No complaints at all. These speakers combined with an aftermarket radio makes a huge difference in the sound quality. Plus I got buy one, get one half off--which is not too shabby. Next step are subs when I have the disposable income. Nice bass with very little distortion even at very loud volume!

    I have a 2001 Expedition and these made a huge difference in sound. I already have an upgraded Kenwood head unit so these brought out it's true potential. I would recommend these to anyone looking to upgrade the factory speakers and you will definately notice a big difference.
    Pros:
    Sound Quality, Affordability

    Great speakers.

    Written By JB, Longview, Wa. on Sunday, May 26, 2013
    Installed in a 1998 Ford F-150
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    For a '98 XL F150 single cab Flareside, doors and rear. Great speakers, it's been a few years since i've played with stereo toys so i spent a little more then what I wanted to but got a great "special" on the four speakers. Be careful when trimming the wires to splice the new connectors onto the wires (that was one of the options) as the drivers side seemed to be the shortest pull with the speaker connections on the opposite side of where the wires come in the door. Just flip the speaker "upside down" to gain a few inch's. (Looking at the speaker front, the connectors are on the left.) Too short and it can pull out or weaken the connectors, and too long and it could get tangled up in the window mechanism.
    Pros:
    I didn't need the old outer speaker "protectors" from the factory speakers, they fit the new ones okay, but it looked like it might muffle the sound. I probably will put them on the next time I take the door panels off, just for sound of mind. The speakers do have the "plastic" look for the membrane but does seem pretty tough.
    Cons:
    Nothing I can think of, other then getting a small sub woofer to accent the sound. Stock radio's fault not the speakers.

    Awesome speakers...the midrange and tweeters are crystal clear and sound fantastic. Was a great deal for the two pair that I bought for my Ford F150 Super Crew. Replaced both sets with these and the speakers were a perfect fit into the existing slots with no issues.
    Pros:
    Ease of installation, midrange and tweeter sounds crystal cleear
    Cons:
    Wish the bass had a little more "thump" but completely satisfied for the bang for the buck...

    As I stated in the other review; I purchased matching Fosgate speakers to keep the system all Fosgate (5x7 & 6x8). I read some reviews and was nervous, but got them any way. I could not be happier with the sound quality. These were installed with the baffels. I could not be happier with the purchase and would get them again without hesatation

    Sure Beats The Factory Ford Speakers

    Written By Travinnio, Las Vegas NV on Sunday, November 11, 2012
    Installed in a 2005 Ford F-150
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These are great quality and sound is improved. For a full range speaker the all around sound is excellent. I used to be a guy who had the big high end sound system and these work just as well. Yes you don't get that deep bass but it's just enough that you don't lose out on a well rounded sound. If you are looking for a quality sound at an inexpensive price then look no further than these. I have a 2005 Ford F150 Super Cab with a Kenwood KDC-BT948HD stereo and they fit in the rear doors with no problems but for the front door location it requied a little bit of modification. I had to cut one of the mounting tabs off for them to fit. If it wasn't designed to fit multiple sized openings then no cutting would be required. As for the install manuel it's fantastic. I installed all 4 speakers and the modifications to 2 spekaers in less than 1 hour. Plus why buy from anywhere else, they give you everything you need : adapters so you don't have to cut and splice anything, manuels,and expert advice.
    Pros:
    overall sound quality, price, install manuel, wiring harness.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought these speakers to replace the factory Ford speakers on my new 2012 F-150, as most of you know the Ford factory speakers have a somewhat muffled unclear sound, I had these Rockford Punch speakers put in for me by a local car audio shop and I am quite satisfied with the transformation, they are clear, great high end, decent bass, but I agree with the other review, if you buy these you'll want a sub for the bass, to compliment the great clarity of the highs
    Pros:
    Good price the second pair was half off, Crutchfield's great instructions,

    Nice Upgrade

    Written By Robb, Melbourne, FL on Monday, October 15, 2012
    Installed in a 2012 Ford F-150 XLT
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought these on Thursday and got them on Monday. I bought them to replace the factory speakers in my 2012 Ford F150 XLT. I installed all 4 in about an hour. The directions provided were very good. I had to cut off both female connectors on the speaker adapters Crutchfield provided but they already knew this and provided the correct female connectors. They drop in both the front and rear doors and sound much better then the factory paper junk. A side by side comparison of the factory to these is a joke. I think they will sound even better with a powered sub to fill in the shallow low end.
    Pros:
    Drop in replacement for factory. Much more robust. Sound better then stock junk.
    Cons:
    None so far.

    Bought this to use in conjunction with Clarion cx501 head unit. they are good speakers, not great speakers though. Certainly an upgrade from stocks. Overall sound is good the mids and highs are the highlights. The low end bass will make you wish you had a sub. I wish I had spent the extra money and shot a little higher up the food chain. In the end I am relatively pleased with the purchase. certainly pleased enough to not be thinking about swapping them out!
    Pros:
    high and mids
    Cons:

    Replaced stock speakers in 04 Ford Explorer. Paired with JVC KW-HDR81BT. These things rock! They almost ask to be turned up louder. Will pair with an amp in the future but they sound great with a upgraded deck.
