still in the box

I bought for my Ford F250 and guess what they didn't fit but maybe i will install them in a box and wedge them in somewhere. Creativity is a must in sound systems. I wish Mr.Spock was an installer.

A good christmas girft

The radio is great when it comes to looks, value, durability and features. The only thing I dislike about it is that its not easy to use, the guide doesn't explain things well and you have to play with it to figure it out.

Great speakers

I put these in the back of my 79' Z28 and they sound great. They look great as well. I had no problems with installing them. The box has a template on it in case you have to cut or drill.

Great Value

These speakers are fantastic, and what makes them better is the price.
The mids and highs will pretty much scream at you, and i can hear notes in some songs i never even knew were there.
unfortunately they did not fit in my xterra cause the depth was too deep by maybe 3/16 of an inch, so i bought a pair of enclosures for them and probably did myself a favor cause the lows are hitting harder than they would be sitting in the panels.
Anyways, if you want bang for your buck, grab a pair!

Great

I would recommend these any day! I have had them just about two years and they are amazing!! I did end up blowing them with my amp and aftermarket deck but that's because I overloaded them on purpose with my subs. Most people seem to be writing that they don't provide low basses but that is wrong. They provide bass of all pitches but if you want to hold a bass pitch then you need a sub not 6x9s.

Great Bang for the buck

Owned these speakers for almost a year now and i cant get over how loud they are. They are the loudest 6/9s i have ever heard at the price bass isn't great but the mids and highs are ridiculous!!

Best Value

For the price, these 6x9s cannot be beat. When powered by by a car's stock amplifier or a headunit, they sound pretty good. High efficiency rating ensures that. Once they are hooked up to to a multi channel amplifer, they sound excellent, and better than anything you will find for the price. Every sound frequency except the very lows sound great. Like I said, I'm sure there are better sounding speakers, but only if you spend twice as much. You wont regret buying these.

Kenwood KFC 6982ie

I bought 2 sets of these speakers for my 2004 Chrysler Sebring. I was able to listen to these at a local retailer. The speakers are Outstanding for 6x9's Base is incredible and the mid and lows are just as good. I do not have an amp on these. I did have to make my own modification to the front doors of my car but very well worth it. Excellent Product and Price Thanks Sonic would definitely order from again.

great product

The radio is great, the lighting options are cool and the usb port and auxiliary jack are very conveniently placed. The equalizer allows for great tuning, too.

Great SQ!

I owned an older model of these, sounded amazing, if these are anything like my old models, than they're definitely worth the buy. As for me I just replaced the older models with Kicker KS690s, but this is due to the fact that Kicker has a perfect balance of SQ and Bass. These are better if you are looking for pure sound quality though. Definitely competition-grade in my opinion; although, the price-tag isn't very appealing...lol.

awesome sound!!

I bought 4 of these speakers to make a stereo for work that we can really crank up and get after it! Let me tell you all these speakers are awesome, they are the best I have ever owned! We crank it up and shake the walls and windows with these things.....trust me if you want great sound and you like to FEEL the music you better get you at least 4 of these bad boys!

Nice Product

I installed these speakers about 6 months ago and have not been disappointed. The sound quality is great, especially for the price. The speakers themselves are hefty to say the least, and do a great job of filling my Galant from the rear. The bass is decent, but they do not replace a sub

GREAT PRICE;GREAT SOUNDS

i recommend these speakers cause they are slamming hard especially for the price..the good is the highs; the bad is doesn't hold bass well... that's perfect if you have some hard hitting subs....

The difference is ASTONISHING!!!

The car: 2007 Nizzan XTERRA
Just replace the front 6x9's with these. Right now just powering them off the bone stock headunit and already I'm blown away! My plan is to put a sub in my wife's XTERRA... but I knew it would need increased mids and highs so it won't drown in the bass. For that reason I decided on these "Image-Enhacers" since their 5-ways and the Fequency Response listed seemed pretty good, and also since I wanted around the neighborhood of 100 RMS for when I eventually get the amp installed.

Heck... even right now without the amp installed and the Fader set to full front speakers... I can tell you she'd already be ecstatic at the ginormous improvement. And... it just so happened I played a track that showed-off the stereo separation and I was very impressed!

Oh man... can't WAIT to get these hooked up to an amp!

Kenwood KFC-6982ie

very nice, low cost speakers. put them in my 911 and they're working great. installed them into a couple of 6x9 speaker boxes and lay them on the rear deck of the 911. surely blow away the stock speakers and can easily handle stock 18 watt stereo, greatly improving the sound quality of the CD player.

Great speakers

These are my 3rd set of speakers for my car and their excellent. My previous set were Sony which were pretty good but the kenwood excelons were alot better, capable of handling more power. the Bass is really good on these, and the highs as well. they also look better than the Sony's. overall great speakers. No regrets for me.

Excellent Deal

I have recently replaced my factory stereo with a Kenwood KDC MP342U and bought two pairs of the Kenwood 6982ie after hearing them in a store. The Bass on these are Awesome, lows and highs are clear. Impressive for 6x9 speaker with no amp or sub. They will however distort if I turn up the volume all the way, but volume level 30 is definitely loud enough. I have a 04 Chrysler Sebring convertible so I may have to return a pair, they won’t fit my front door panel, but im trying to come up with a solution to make them work. Definitely don’t want to give these up. Excellent Deal thanks Sonic A+++

Great Value!

I bought these speakers along with the JVC KD-AR8500 receiver and I have to say that I am impressed with they're performance. If you like your highs high, these are for you. I am suprised with the amount of bass they produce for being 6x9's. At moderatly high volume they deliver tight mids and lows but will distort if the volume is too high. All in all you probably wont find a better speaker for the price. I looked at these speakers at another store and they were nearly double the price that I paid for them on Sonic. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a new set of 6x9's

Kenwood is the best!!

I bought these speakers a year ago and hooked them up to my sony head unit. They sounded really clear. I wanted them louder so I bought a dual amplifier. The amp was 300 watts and it gave the kenwood 6*9's 50 watts rms. They bump soo loud you can hear them 500 feet away from the car with the windows up!! I only have 2 of these speakers in the rear of my car because in the front I can only fit 6*8 speakers. I drive a mustang, and I never heard any other mustang bump as loud as mine!!! Definitely would recomend to everyone!!!

Best 6x9s I ever had

I have had pioneer and JVC 6x9s and none of them sounded as loud and CLEAR as these. I have them on a Kenwood MP238 head unit without them being amplified they sound great. If you are looking for 6x9s that can handle, these will take anything you throw at them.

amazing speakers

i put these in a 94 buick century and they sound perfect. actually the pic of these is wrong but close enough. and for all of you that keep complaining on how they have bad lows, SHUT UP AND GET A SUB, if you want bass and only bass your not gonna find it in a 6x9, which i cant stand hearing a car with only bass. so if you want some good 6x9's then get these you wont be dissapointed. they respond up to 30,000hz which the most a human can hear is 20,000hz. GET EM!!!!!!

Now there hooked to the Amp and WHOA!!!

Wow... now that these are hooked up to (the Channel 1/2 of) the amp (SSL F4.1200) these things are A-MAZ-ING!!! These things seriously go almost as low as the subwoofer! Un-freakin-believable!!!

Now that they are being amp'd... they make my wife's side-mirrors "flap their wings" in a serious way!!! (YES!!!)

If you had a small car like, let's say, a Honda Civic... and you had these amp'd and in the Rear Deck.... you really wouldn't need to have a subwoofer.

In all seriousness... I wish I could somehow fit these 6 x 9's into the doors of my Ford SportTrac... but unfortunately Ford's are 6 x 8's :*(
