These things crank

The stock speakers were a joke in my new Subaru. Installed 4 of the Rockford FosgateP165. Even with the stock radio, these speakers are awesome. Best price around at Sonic. I would purchase more of these for my truck.

Great speakers for a great price

Good sound quality and bass but ded need an amp to get full advantage out of them, they are definently power hungry but overall great experience.

Rockford Fosgate P165

DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR THE BEST CAR AUDIO SPEAKER I HAVE OWNED. When I saw the price I expected to receive 1 speaker (instead of 2.) Mine are driven by a VIBE 200 Watt RMS amplifier. They are responsive at all frequency ranges. Well, O.K. for their size the BASS, which I love, still exceeds what I thought they would produce.

Don't hesitate to buy them unless you like spending more and getting less. Sonic, by the way is trustworthy and delivers on their--uhm delivery times. NB: I had just written a somewhat unfavorable review of a Kenwood AM-FM-CD so I call it as I 'hear' it!

Awesome speakers

First pair of Rockford speakers I ever had and find they can match or put away many others on the market. I. Am very pleased with them and they mount right in the 2014 Harley Batwing of my Street Glide without the need of the adapter rings. They put Harley's stock speakers to shame. It was a major job getting them in the boxes of the new batwing but worth it in the end.

Best I've Owned!!!

Paired these with 6x9s and a Orion 600w amp the sound is amazing. Was gonna get some subs but I'm glad I saved my money. Great clear highs and just enough bump to accomodate my 6x9s. A must buy!

Great Speakers

When I got my car it had aftermarket speakers in it already (Infinity, Alpine, and Pioneer were the 3 pairs). These replaced my front door speakers in my 99 Camaro (the Infinity pair).

What I said after finishing the replacement and giving it a listen was "WOW!" These Rockford's really brought clarity and detail to my music that I hadn't been able to appreciate much before. The highs are sharp, clear and distinguished. The mids are good as well but the difference wasn't as great from old to new speakers as it was with the highs.

As always, the Sonic Electronix price was excellent and shipping was prompt.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to bring clarity to their music. Actually, I would recommend anything in the Rockford Fosgate Punch line. All of my car speakers are Punches and it sounds great.

great sounding speakers for the money

These speakers sound great. Couldn't find the cheaper anywhere I even checked the top sites like ebay and amazon

Not that bad with some music

These Fosgates are "not that bad". Given the low sensitivity of the speakers, you will have to pump some wattage into them before they come alive. I am using a Pioneer GM-D8604 (150x2 @ 2 ohms + 300 @ 4 ohms bridged) x-over set at 100HZ. They were worthless running off the factory 16 watt x4 Pioneer head unit.

They tend to fall apart at moderate volume with speed metal (Exodus, Testament, Brick Bath), but are surprisingly good sounding with music from the likes of Yellow, and most Jazz such as Chick Corea and Elizabeth Mis.

pretty good

I mainly got these to pair with my 12" Rockford sub and it sounds great. Beautiful mids and highs but the bass wasn't too good on these. Granted it is only a 6" speaker so what do you expect. If you mainly want a lot of bass from a speaker I don't really reccomend these but if you are pairing it with a sub and just need the mids and highs then these are perfect. Highly recommend

Great Sound

Replaced the stock door speakers on my 2013 FJ. The sound difference was astounding. I would recommend to anyone who needs a great speaker that wont break the bank.

Amazing for the price.

These things sound pretty good in my '01 civic. I have them on a P-500 set with my oscope so i know it isn't clipping. Not necicarily bassy, but very clean mids/lows and crisp highs. NOT as over-powering as my P165-S tweets, but amazing for 60$. Did start getting hot when i clipped the amp a little bit during tuning. so 60w rms is a yes.

Good

The Rockford fosgate p165 are very loud and clear. But if you're looking for speakers with a little bass this isn't your pick. A slight rattle when the bass knob is turned up a little.

Good value

bought these on the black friday deals, great speakers for the price. Rockford fosgate seems to have stellar quality with their price. I havent been able to get my full potential out of these, but even powering them at 50w rms they are plently loud and a great upgrade from stock.

Great Speaker

The Rockford Fosgate P165 Punch was a nice upgrade from the stock speakers in my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. They added nice depth with a decent amount of base, mids and highs. I use these speakers with the Stock HU. Its a big thumbs up for these speakers.... I did notice that the speakers took a little bit of time to break in but as time went on the tones just got better. Go buy them!!

Pretty good :)

I've been a die hard RF fan for a while and these exceeded my expectations
Honestly these can keep up with the focal A1 series
I have 4 running off a Prime400.4 which is giving roughly 80-90watts each and they take every bit of it.
Bass on these speakers suprised me sounds like i have a single 10" sub :) dont second guess these GET EM

Rockford Fosgate P165

I purchased these Rockford speakers for the rear to pair up with my 6.5 RF punch Component speakers in the front and 4 channel Rockford amp. My Nissan Xterra sounds amazing. Rockford Fosgate never lets me down.
