Product Research

Features

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

Mounting: Without an adapter, the KFC-X174 speakers fit standard 6-3/4" applications. Given their required cutout, they will also fit 6-1/2" applications without an adapter, but new screw holes must be drilled. Using the included adapter brackets they can be mounted in a variety of 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" applications, without any modification. Enter you vehicle information to confirm fit.

Warranty Note: Although these speakers come with a 1-year warranty card, they are covered by the Kenwood eXcelon 2-year warranty.

Q
Why will these not fit a rear door on a Ford Fusion 2015?
tim  Feb 27, 2023
1 answer
A
Great question, Tim. We go the extra mile with our Vehicle Fit guide to make sure your installation is a smooth as possible. With these Kenwood Excelon KFC-X174's the tweeter sticks out too far and would come in contact with the inner door panel, potentially prohibiting the door panel from fitting at all. Depending on the route you are taking with your total setup you could consider the KFC-1696PS in the link below. This Kenwood speaker fits in the rear doors, no sweat! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_1131696PS/Kenwood-KFC-1696PS.html

I have kenwood kfcx174 door speakers and I want to know what size amp I should run to push these speakers?

A
Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your speakers I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.
