[ was looking for a nice sounding speaker for the money and I got what I was hoping for happy camper here

Kenwood Kentucky Fried Chicken 1665s

$20 is going the distance here. I bought this for a direct fit replacement for 93 Corolla rear deck speakers; my old surrounds were disintegrated. Cr*tchf*eld said they wouldn't fit without an adapter. Fit is correct and performance is absolutely satisfactory. These do the job well and I have found no reason to complain.

Sounds good, looks good, works good

Replaced factory speakers in 2007 Prius. Very good sound. Fits in perfectly.

cool

Cant beat for price. Cool speakers. Screw there 10 word minimum review

Great Price

I have used these speaker sets in two vehicles. Front and back in both. 2 pairs in a 2000 Nissan Altima GXE and 2 pairs in a 2000 Toyota Corolla VE. The Altima was an easier fit. The Corolla however, I had to make custom 1/4 inch thick mounting rings to get the front speakers into the doors. Without the rings the speakers are too small for the factory speaker wholes and also they would have sat too deep and the window would hit the magnet. As far as the quality, these are nice factory replacement speakers. They are priced very respectably and perform well. They could use more power to get the most out of them but a CD deck will power them and will exceed the sound quality of the factory speakers. The build quality is alright and they have a nice look to them. Overall, for the price you get what you paid for and then some.

great sound for little money

Replaced factory speakers with kfc-1664s & Kenwood receiver-GREAT SOUND for budget minded--also GREAT service from Sonic Electronix.

Not Even Close :(

I bought these recently as a stock replacement for my Honda Accord front door speakers. I bought a Kenwood head unit as well as a pair of Kicker 6 x 9 3 ways for the rear deck. I bought these speakers based on the specs (decibels per 1 watt, freq response and power handling). On paper, they matched the kickers and should really sound nice. SADLY.....the specs are a complete mislead (being nice). These speakers (and I have had a bunch in 51 years) are truly the worst I have ever heard. You could not even hear them (at zero fade) unless you bent way over and lowered your head and you could barely tell they were playing. When faded to the front to bring them in.....the sound was flat and lifeless. when driven, they distorted and sounded like crap. I ordered a pair of CS-65 kicker 2 ways to replace them......and they ROCK! They ROCK at zero fade, set up a great presence and image, deep tight bass and can take a lot more than my Kenwood 22wpc headunit can deliver! With the kickers front and back.....no amp is needed. It is clean and solid and deep bass too! Don't but these speakers....I am sending them back. I am truly disappointed that a product with the Kenwood name performs on this level. They are cheap, cheaply built and perform worse. The Kickers are twice the weight of these, solidly built and perform 4 levels above!

Good simple unit

Good quality for the price. Works fine for my needs and has a decent sound.

KFC 1662S

I have these installed in the rear doors of my Subaru OBW, and they are powered by a 4 channel Alpine amplifier (75watts RMS @ 4 ohms). I don't sit in my back seat very often, well not sit anyway, but these do a nice job of complimenting the Polk db6501's that I have installed up front. For the price, you can't beat them, and the relatively shallow depth of the speakers allow for installs in my shallow rear door compartments.

Quality product

I bought 2 pairs of these speakers and have them on a 600 watt amp. They are being over powered by about twice there RMS and are taking it all day with no problems. Driving in 90 degree heat for 4 hours to the beach and they were working fine. They get loud too I didn't have an issue mounting them which was helpful.

The tweeters and nice on them I would say the strongest feature because on some songs it hurts the ears a little. They keep up with my subwoofer which is a Fi BL 12 on 1000 watts.

1+ years owned, still works like magic

These speakers are amazing, they were replacements to my 5 1/4" paper speakers in my jeep cherokee, and they work amazing. i got these before i had subs so i played with the bass on max and these speakers did a great job of playing the full range. I got these as a christmas gift in 09 and they still work great, now i have an amp thats pushin 1000 watts to my alpine subs and i can still hear the music over the bass, unless im really bangin the heck out of a song. GREAT PRODUCT!

great item

I would recommend these speakers or any other item that these guys sell cause its top of the line merchandise , they have great service a super fast shipping, these guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

simple upgrade

factory speakers all rotted out, these fit and work nicely with moderate to little power and fit in those tight spaces. I install them with ease.

Good Deal

Decent speakers for the money. Easy to install. I am not into loud music, but these sound good at moderate levels.

great value

These are a lot better than boss and have not busted yet.

clean

Nice for a starting level speaker. Sound very clean with a good deck. A deck or a amp make a big difference with these speakers.

pleased

Bougt it a good price. The main knob is slippery. Cheap display graphics. Sound is good and functions well.

great speakerr

Direct fit great sound

Awesome

This has been a awesome pair of speakers, I have them behind my seat in my pickup, they don't kick super hard but their perfect for most music playing.

Great Speakers

The speakers ROCK!

Great Speakers.

These are some good speakers.
They sound better then the pair of dual 6.5 and pair of sony 6.5 i used to have.

GREAT SPEAKERS!!!

Great speakers!!! Had them for 8 months and still sound brand new... No distortion at all at high volumes.

Great Replacement/Upgrade Speakers

I installed these speakers in place of my factory ones in my Honda Accord. I am still using the stock head unit, but I can tell a huge difference in these versus the factory ones. The sound is much clearer and it was the best upgrade I have done to my car yet. Would highly recommend these to someone looking for a great everyday speaker.

Very crisp clean sound.

Can't go wrong for the price. I bought two pair. Put two up front two in back of my standard cab f150. Paired them with a 50watt per channel head unit that has full hpf and lpf abilities tune it to perfection. Once you tune the bass outta the highs they scream.
my system:
head unit: pioneer mp3 50x4
amp: HiFonics 1400watt
sub: 600 watt mtx 12" running at 2ohm
speakers: 4 Kenwood 61/2

Metal,Rap and EDM LOVES my system Very loud, shakes rear of cab.

great speakers

sounds really good on factory deck. cannot go wrong with kenwood.

Kenwood speaker

Great product. excellent price, powerful speakers. I would purchase this product anytime or recommend to friends.

Very Nice!

I bought these and have them hooked up to a kenwood headunit. These speakers sound very nice and clear. A huge upgrade over the stock bose speakers. I hear detail in my music that previously could not be heard. I recommend these for a nice low budget install.

Weak speakers.

I bought these as upgrades for my factory speakers and believe it or not the factory ones sounded better than these so I had to exchange it for a pair of MTX TN653's which also came from Sonic. Kenwood is a great product but I think it was only 35 watts RMS that's why it sounded weak. I also heard that these were entry level speakers so that might be a problem with sound enthusiasts.

Kenwood speakers

Good speakers!

Amazing Value, Great Sound

I used a pair of these to replace my factory rear speakers on my Tacoma, and what an amazing difference! Before, the sound did not go loud enough and the rear speackers contributed very little to the original system.

All I did was install these in the rear doors and disconnect the factory ones (in teh headliner) and the sound came alive incredibly. I now had fantastic volume and the base tones were deep and loud.

I had originally planned on replacing the head deck, and also adding a small base with an amp, but honestly, these speakers made such a great improvement that I may never get around to spending the money on any further upgrades.

Works Fine

Replaced stock front speakers, easy to do especially after google search for the process for my specific car. They sound good, better than stock, handle lots of power, but it made a much bigger difference to change the actual receiver/player itself. On the other hand, these are really inexpensive! So, good value, no down side, go for it.

pretty straigt

These speakers are pretty straight, I just needed something to replace the stock speakers in the rear doors of my Xterra, I was extremely surprised with the performance of these speakers at 35 watts rms they sound great perfect for a budget or just a good rear fill in your whip

Not a bad shallow speaker

I\'m limited in what speakers I can put in my car, and I had to have something that had a low tweeter height and a fairly shallow basket. I found this Sport Series Kenwood, and gave it a try. It actually sounds pretty good for an inexpensive speaker. After about a week of normal usage, it was able to hit some of the lower notes of my music with no problem. The highs and mids are quite clear on it. It\'s a fairly sensitive speaker, so it works well just powered by my 17 by 4 RMS receiver. I wish it had a urethane or rubber surround, but at this price point, I can\'t be too picky. Good choice if on a budget or restricted in size.

great!!

great service and product

Great price, great sound

Great lights and lows-especially like the bass coming from them, they fill my entire car with perfect pitch!

First after-market car system.

I recommend this speakers. At first I had them wired to my factory reciever, and they actually sounded the same as my factory speakers from before, exept the lows were not as deep or defined. Then, I bought a Kenwood reciever and wow. Big difference to the overall experience. Much crisper highs, mids are alive and the lows are accurate and decent, yet overall better bass then my old factorys. I am very happy with these Kenwoods, but not untill I installed the Kenwood head unit. I finally can play my music loud without a lot of distortion. That makes me very satisfied.I am not ashamed anymore to roll down my windows now. I have no complaints so far, and I have had these for two weeks.

Good Speaker for the price

Okay, i have these speakers installed in my rear deck. the sound is reproduce nicely by these speakers , however the bass does lack a little bit. These kenwoods provide excellent frequency response 35-22000khz (humans pick up from 20-20000). The bass lacks because the basket on these speakers are shallow, which is a pro if your limited in space (depth wise(. Overall, these are a nice upgrade from the 15watt rms speakers stock in my toyota, which these speakers helped dramatically improve the clarity of the sound.

Good Value

These speakers are not bad for someone looking to replace the stock speakers in their vehicle. If you are looking to do a big install and have a high quality build then these are not for you.

Fits my 2005 Trailblazer

Bottom Line: It's a cheap speaker that fits in our 2005 Trailblazer and does what it's asked to do in providing audio to the rear passenger seat.

The right rear speaker died in our 2005 Trailblazer. I have zero automotive/trade skills. So I needed a part that was easy to replace. Searching the web for a video helped teach me how to take the door panel off (very easy) and for imagery helped me with wiring and install.

For a 2005 Trailblazer I did not know GM had a wiring harness on their speakers. If you order this and want a wiring harness then you'll need to search for one as well. Not having ordered the harness, I cut the GM harness off and used wire nuts to affix the Kenwood wires to the car wires. The Kenwood packaging had tamper stickers over the wiring instructions printed on the box (no paperwork shows you how to wire this speaker -- it's only a picture on the back of the box). Thankfully I was able to peel those stickers off to see the wiring diagram on the box.

The stock speaker frame has a peg hold that rests on alignment pegs on the door. I had to break these small pegs off as the Kenwood frame did not line up with the pegs. There might be an adapter ring out there, but it wasn't necessary for this simple install. Break off the little pegs and mount the speaker. The speaker did not PERFECTLY line up with the car screw holes. So one side is screwed flush and the other screw is resting against a leading edge on the Kenwood frame. The install holds, but it's not an exact fit.

The speaker itself sounds comparable to the factory speakers. I'm not a audiophile. So, blasting the speakers is not something I ever do. If you just need a cheap speaker to repair a dead one, buy this pair. It gets the job done. If you're looking for something to blow your windows to pieces and rumble the car next to you, then look for a review from someone who knows something about speakers.

Kenwood speaker

These are very nice sounding and installation was smooth. Over all another great product from Sonic !! Thanks

kenwood 6 1/2

I bought these speakers and installed them in a 94 ford probe. They sound clean in the lower decibel ranges. They handle all the frequencies well. Appearance didn’t matter; I can’t see them in the factory locations. They provided the pre-terminated wire for easy hook up. I tend to spend a little more for the quality. This work fine for what I’m doing.

Good performance for Great Price!

I have these speakers in my front doors of my car as of right now. They are quite decent speakers in comparison to worn out factory speakers. They sound quite clear and precise when ran off of the head unit. I wouldn't recommend these for someone who is looking for 1st class audio performance, but are perfect for someone who is looking for a cheap brand-name alternative to factory. I have enjoyed these for the past year, but I'm upgrading to Blaupunkt Velocity components and buying a 1000 watt 4-channel amp to go with them.

Very disappointed

Received these as a gift a while ago. Was purchased through Sonic by a relative. Finally had time to install. What a huge let down. Bass completely bottomed them out causing bass distortion. Also very little midrange detail, which you'd think this size speaker would excel at. I have the 6x9 version of these in the rear and they seem to be able to handle it. Although after hearing this speaker I'm wondering what I might be missing in the rear.
Removed and put the so called "factory junk" with the see through plastic driver back in which by comparison sounded pretty good. Unfortunately have had these way past the 30 exchange window so I can't return.

Best purchase made

As the title says this is the best purchase I've made in a long time. I had been looking for replacement speakers for my car and after looking at reviews I decided to go with these. SonicElectronix had the best deal out there so I gave them a shot. I will diffinately look to them when I upgrade my subs

Nice speakers, good price.

Pretty good speakers especially for the price.

not a significant upgrade

I replaced 97 Rav4 stock speakers with these Kenwoods. Turns out that the stock location for the front doors could accommodate more depth than these slim speakers. I should have gotten regular speakers. The stock speakers were deeper, had larger magnet, and actually produced more bass than these Kenwoods. The highs were an improvement from the stock speakers, which were just full-range paper cone without tweeters.

Excellent buy

I would recommend sonicelectronic to all my friends, products are exactly as listed

Fit Perfectly!

Installation was easy. Sound was very good for such inexpensive speakers. Would definitely recommend this product not as an upgrade but as a replacement for original speakers.

great sound, good value

have stock head unit with these in teh doors and kenwood 6x9's in the rear deck. Great sound for any kind of music (i listen to a pretty much every kind of music) good bass, hits clean and hard. good treb as well. mid range sounds great. good if you like decent bass, good mirange tones, but not pierceing highs. the highs are still very good sounding, and rich. i would recommend these speakers to anyone. great value, great sound. i would recommend a new head unit as well but still sounds great with stock head.

Carquest for Carmax

Customer never has a problem with this product. Always buying when I need a good 6.5" speaker.

Quality for price

These speakers seem to be a great replacement for a stock stereo. They made my stock radio alittle louder and clearer. Would recommend if not installing an amp

Easy-to-use awesome sounds great I recommend these to anyone who want a mild upgrade

A great speaker addition to any mild up grade system clean crisp sound kenwood is a great brand

Good Deal all around!

We've shopped here (and through the eBay store) many times over the past few years for lots of gear. Always easy to compare and find what we want, great prices, fast and issue free transactions and fast shipping.

So when we needed a new pair of 6.5 door speakers for our '04 Saturn (cause one died), we immediately came right here to find good replacements and knew we'd find exactly what we needed and wanted and knew it would be at a great price, and it sure was, and thanks to that affordability factor, for us working bum's, we also added in a new pair of Clarion's for the rear with our order.

They processed our order really fast, as usual, and sent the order out quickly and it got to us really fast, in well under one week!

We also wanted a pair that would sound better throughout the sound spectrum, from high to low, over the horribly awful, muddy and muffled sounding OEM junk pair and these Kenwood KFC-1665s' fit the bill nicely.

The Treble is so much cleaner and clearer, you can really hear the Hi-Hats and Cymbal crashes and splashes much better.

Upper to lower Midrange all sounds much better, Guitars, Keyboards and Vocals really stand out.

Bass is somewhat improved and cleaner, less distorted, although it's certainly not as low, deep, full or booming as we kind of had hoped for once we read that wild, possibly over exaggerated claim that these can drop way down low to 35mhz (when most of the other 6.5's we looked at claim to only go down to around 100hz and some down to 60hz), not that we expected to hear or feel mega low bass from door speakers with just an OEM head unit, but we did expect more than what we are hearing.

They are still a big improvement, and hopefully will only sound better over the next few months after a good break-in period, more than the 5 hours yesterday and 6 today and we will also be adding in a new head unit and amp (probably the Autotek SMA1100.4) very, very soon, which will hopefully help, and not just blow them out! lol

Everything (except the tools) you'll need to install and hook 'em up IS in the box!

Just be very careful with the terminals/lugs as they are somewhat thin and flimsy and will easily bend, you don't want to accidentally snap one off! :)

Also, if you buy a pair and go to register them at Kenwood dot com you'll need the serial number which, if you can't find it, is found only on one of the fold out flaps on one of the end's of the box.

Hope that helps.

We are very pleased with this and all of our many purchases here and are confident our next purchase will be just as fantastic.

Best of luck to you!
And Thanks Again! :)

Kenwood KFC-1665S Speakers

I bought these speakers as replacements for my 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab speakers. They were pretty easy to install in the front doors using the OEM speaker mount adapter rings. The back door installation is another matter. The original speakers are still in the rear and will stay there until I have the inclination to work on them.
The speakers sound real good, very clear. They don't seem to have the Bass I had hoped for, but that could be the head unit.
Considering this installation is strictly head unit and speakers...it's very good. Plenty of volume for an old man.

Good speaker for the price

Replaced worn out stock speakers in my daughter's car. What a big difference. Great upgrade and good price.

Sounds great

Ordered for old car to replace blown ones tuned they sound great

Mediocre at best.

Not impressed with this speaker at all. You get what you pay for, and this is a prime example.

Great speakers

cheap speakers that work very well the sound is better than i expected

Perfect fit and Great Price

These Kenwood speakers sound Great. I chose them because of their low RMS power to run off the deck. The were an exact fit on the rear access cab doors of my Tundra.. They really added "highs" to the back of the Tundra cab and made the stereo sound so much cleaner. Definitely worth getting.. I still have to install the Kenwoods in the front doors.

speakers

great speakers for the price.Crank it up an enjoy them.

Gets the job done

Crispy clear on a head unit, wouldn't recommend putting an amp to them though.

Great speakers!

The speaker are great! The price was awesome and they sound great.

Pros: Great price, sounds great!

Cons: None

I would highly recommend these speakers. They sound great in my 2006 Toyota Tundra Crew cab. Mahalo!

sound great

great sounding speakers at a great price and fast shipping

Best Factory Replacement

I bought these to replace the OEM door speakers in my car, which has an aftermarket head unit, but no external amp. These are perfect for this type of use. Upgrading from a paper cone to a plastic cone ALWAYS loses resonance. Always. There is no way around that. If you want directional bass vibration like factory speakers--you need factory speakers. Or you need low power paper speakers. I installed these with the Metra bracket for my 2014.5 Camry. I also used the Metra 6.5" hard plastic speaker baffles. I cut the back off of the baffles, leaving just a little more baffle than the magnet depth. I did it this way because I noticed many factory door speakers that produce better bass than aftermarket speakers have a rigid plastic baffle or at least a semi baffle. This worked very good. I get more bass than any aftermarket 6.5" speaker I ever used. It may be because of the low RMS of these and it could be due to the mounting bracket and baffle. Could be the head unit? I can't tell for sure, since I did not install these into the bare door. I think the rigid plastic baffle and bracket make more resonance than a bare speaker in the metal door, but this is a guess. If you are running a low power system these will do. They open the soundstange and do pump bass. I have used high powered speakers that required more power than an aftermarket HU puts out---never again. That is the end of all bass. Unless you are going to pump more power with an amp IMO, less is more when it comes to RMS. Overall, these speakers have very good excursion, but still stop better than any other 6.5" speaker I have used. It is very noticeable with the rear paper crap speakers still in. The tweeters are bright, but not shrill. I have these in the doors and the Powerbass S3502 3.5” speakers from sonicelectronix in the dash. These two sets of lower power speakers work much, much better than the underpowered high power speakers I used in the past.

Excellent sound!!!!!!!!!!

they are very loud and produce very clear sound. Good speakers for the price, i will be buying a second pair for the rear of the car.
