A perfect system starts off with perfect aftermarket car speakers. If you are a fanatic of a great sounding speaker, then the Rockford Fosgate Punch Series is meant for you. It is a full-range speaker with a flex-fit basket to ensure compatibility. By utilizing slots instead of single sized screw holes, allows for a slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted. This becomes useful if you are mounting the speakers in an odd shaped factory speaker location. The integrated concealed crossover hides the crossover inside the basket, decreasing and simplifying installation time. Minimizing the time between taking the speakers out of the box to installing them in your vehicle, the Punch speakers feature an OEM Adapter plate system that allows full-range speaker to fit in certain openings. The adapter plate features “break-away” tabs that can be removed to fit all speaker sizes.
The Punch series speakers feature VAST (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) which increases a speaker’s effective radiating cone area without complicating installation. The design eliminates the large flat glue surface area which allows the surround to be shifted for increased cone area. With this, nominal efficiency and maximum output capabilities are improved. The P1683 is a 6" x 8" 2-Way speaker that has all the features mentioned above.

- Power Handling:
- Peak: 260 watts per pair / 130 watts each

I am pushing these with a Kenwood KDC-HD545U HD radio and they sound so clear. I also have the Fosgate p3l-s12 sub. These speakers are a complete change from factory-not a ton of bass on thier own but adequate. I have a 99 f250 Super Duty diesel. They fit perfect. If you have a F250-you have to get these, you wont be disappointed.

If you're not wanting to go all out but you also don't want to go cheap then step up a bit from the $50 range and get these!
These speakers slam. They fit perfect into my 2000 Ford Ranger. It's a shame the two rear speakers face right directly into the seat but when you crank it it's like having a built in electric massage chair. Yes they are nasty.
Crystal clear, sounds like your in a symphony hall and with a cheap $50 amp they hit hard for their size. I do not see how ANYONE could be disappointed in these, they're superb!

I have a 2005 Mazda 3 and they fit PERFECT into the rear doors. Even with the stock system these speakers were a GREAT improvement.

I got these speakers to replace my mach 460 in my mustang and they are being run off of a Bazooka amp that puts out 60rms and they take it all day long with no distortion. It took me about 2 weeks of getting them put in for me to get a ticket cuz the cop could hear it from 2 blocks away and that was only about 75% of the way up. Overall they sound clear and I would Highly recommend them.
