Specially crafted for playing high-resolution audio files, these speakers use premium materials and design to enhance the audio signal from a high-performance amplifier and receiver. What that means for you is a life-like listening experience, free from distortion.
Premium components
The 6-1/2" glass-fiber woofer cone delivers full, hearty sound, and its specially designed surround ensures endurance, play after play. The 1-3/16" hard dome titanium tweeter brings striking detail to your music, upholding the artist's intention from song to song. If you love high-res music, these tweeters reproduce frequencies up to 40,000 Hz, delivering the extended detail and strong imaging of your high-res FLAC or DSD files.
Kenwood also includes versatile mounting gear for a variety of installation of challenges.
Bring on the power
These exceptional speakers will handle up to 100 watts RMS, so you'll maximize their performance when you power them with a nice amp. And the included external crossovers let you amplify the woofers and tweeters separately for an even stronger sound.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in the factory locations.

Features
Custom Brackets: Using the included brackets, the Kenwood XR-1701P woofers become factory replacement speakers, compatible with several Ford, GM, Hyundai, Toyota, and Volkswagen vehicles. The brackets are multi-purpose, scored for trimming to fit several applications. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Crossover: Each crossover has screw terminal inputs and outputs that will accommodate bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.315" wide. (Speaker wire is not included with the system.) The output level of the tweeters is adjustable; choose 0 dB or -3 dB. The crossovers also have bi-amp inputs, one input for the tweeter and one for the woofer. When bi-amping the speakers, the input jumpers need to be removed. Using four amplifier channels to bi-amp the speakers typically improves the dynamic range and presents an easier load for the amp(s) to drive. The crossover slope is 12 dB/octave, high-pass and low-pass.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Width: 5.275"
- Height: 1.3"
- Depth: 3.275"
Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters can be flush mounted using the supplied hardware, or surface mounted using the included housings. Once mounted the tweeters have these dimensions:
