No problems

Had no problem changing out the old speakers for these. I did cut out the connectors from the old speakers and soldered these onto the new ones so I could then just plug them in, or unplug them, without having to cut any wires going forward. They work fine.

Impressed!

I have a stereo with roughly $1,500 worth of bass, and even with my Kicker 4x6's and 6x9's amped up my car stereo was still extremely overpowered on the low end. After spending a day on a custom install putting these in my kick panels to replace the 4x6's, I can honestly say my car has never sounded better.

I was hesitant to buy Kenwood at first, as they are traditionally known for pretty average speakers, but these 6 3/4's complement the rest of my stereo perfectly. If you are looking for speakers with bass though, do NOT consider these! They are meant to scream and cover the mids-highs, and they do a great job. Highly recommended to anyone looking to add some powerful highs to their system without going all out on a custom setup.

Superb sound!

I recently heard these in a friends car and it made my speakers sound like garbage. I cant tell you how crisp the sound was, it was so impressive, so i ordered 4 of these bad boys and will be installing them as soon as i get them.

GREAT SPEAKER

Very impressed with the sound these speakers put out. They actually have quite a bit of mid bass that is clear that compliment the highs that are produced. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a really great speaker.

Great product at a great price!

This is my first experience with Kenwood and I couldn't be more satisfied. The range is awesome, much better than my stock, and the instructions made it easy to install. Minor altercations were needed though. Other than that, very satisfied. Sonic had a helluva deal on them as well. I would recommend!

Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X173

I purchased these speakers for a fair price. Their overall specs seemed good of power ratings. I have had them in my front doors for about a month. They do ok running highs and since installing my sub and taking bass out of them I'm a bit more pleased. I still have my rear doors but will be going with Kicker 6 3/4 door speakers instead of Kenwood's. I want a little more from my doors and know the Kickers will give me what I want, have had them in my car for 7 + years and still sound as good today as the day they were put in.

Generic but good

These are are a decent step up from OEM speakers, good sound quality and loud enough make your entrance but they are defenitly missing something can't quite put my finger on it but the sound is lacking somewhere
