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.

Wow these are amazing! Sounds clear, loud and smooth. Technically wasn't gonna fit in my 2015 jetta but using the adapter ring provided by kenwood plus adding a foam basket to improve the sound and push the speaker further out made it fit perfectly. Can't go wrong with those
