Rockford Fosgate PRIME R1693 - Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great speakers

These speakers are great. They get loud without distorting and they sound crisp and clear. I would recommend these to anybody that wants some bang for their buck. I bought 4 of these for my 2010 dodge charger and they sound amazing. Has ok bass but when paired with subs it makes a great sound system.

awesome speakers

I recommend these speakers. Hook them up with a good stereo with some amp power and they some really great.

Great sounding speakers

The speakers sound great for the price, I would highly recommend them

Good 6x9

Awesome 6x9 I'd recommend them to anyone. Only completes are there are no cut out templates, and the woofers seem to lack mid bass. But the tweets are amazing and they sound clean.

Great product for the money!!!

I found these speakers at a lower price here. Very happy with them!!

great value

I love this product. Clean hard sound with around fifty watts a speaker x four

Perfect

I bought these for my sons 03 accord and they work and sound great. A little higher than stock but ok. I would buy again.

RF Primes are legit!

Huge fan of these mids. The 3-way function can handle anything you throw at it. Worked perfectly as an upgrade from my factory door speakers. I bought tweeters to get a little higher but ended up not needing them cuz the tweeter on the speaker is perfect. I don't want any bass coming from my door speakers so I set them up strictly for mid-range and with my bass knob turned off the sound still sounds amazing. You can clearly hear different instruments and parts of the music. The 90 Watts and 45 arms are easy to see. You won't be sorry to buy these speakers if you like your music clear at any level. Great speakers.

Excellent bang-for-buck!

Replaced some worn-out, existing speakers which were also name-brand, and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. They sound great!

Great value and easy access

Great products at a great price and ease of ordering.

Works great

Definitely a good value. Sounds great for the price. Very happy with the product.

great speaker

This speaker sounds really good. I connected it to an after market radio and it sounds great. Cant wait to install an amp to it and really hear how it sounds.

Great sound

I bought these for my son at the end of July for his birthday, which is at the end of August so had to wait a month before installing. Easy to install in a 2013 ram 1500 and first day but sound awesome. Hopefully they'll last.

Exceeded Expectations

Quality product. Excellent sound. Can't go wrong with this brand. Highly recommended if you're shopping for 6x9's.

fitting disappointed

after 3 times finally found one that worked for my Ram 2500
it had to be customized to recess in the door, no noticeable improvement over stock one

Excellent price and service

I purchased the Punch 4 way 6x9s and they were on backorder, but I needed to replace my 6x9's and I emailed and the representative for Sonic got them to switch my order for the Prime 3 way 6x9's and put the remaining money back into my account. Great service. I got them shortly after and these primes are slaying it! On a bit of a budget, Rockford Prime speakers are the way to go. A low-level product that's from a great company, I would recommend to anyone
Thanks Sonic!!

Great deal

These will blow you away, the sound quality and bass are a billion times better than stock. I don't have them on an amp and there amazing. Can't wait to hear how they sound powered

Review

I bought these for the front doors in my 2003 Grand Cherokee along with some MB Quarts for the back doors along with a Rockford Fosgate 12 inch sub for the trunk. I love the sound in my Jeep and have had no problems with it at all.

Quality

Got these to replace the stock ones in my rear deck. They have tweeters so it picks up all the highs. They don't have much bass but that's what subs are for.

good speakers

these speakers are good replacements for factory speakers. lot better quality at a great price.

By KEVIN on October 18, 2015 Verified purchase

Nothing beats quality

As always, Rockford does it again with a quality long lasting speaker that looks and sounds great in any application. Have been running these for years with no problems or degradation of quality.

By Rex on November 16, 2020 Verified purchase

Rockford letdown

I have these speakers, disappointed in them because in less than a year, it sounds as if one of my speakers are blown, thought Rockford would hold up. and this is not the price I paid for them when I purchased them, wish it would have been, then I would have understood such a quick letdown.

By Tony P. on August 8, 2016 Verified purchase

More than expected

I got these to install into my friends truck and rockford is a pretty good brand i just didnt know how their prime line of products were. i was really impressed by the amount of sound that these 6x9"s put out. they are just running off of the stock head unit. i can only imgine what they would sound like giving them the full 60w RMS they can handle.

Good Deal

Best deal I could find on name brand, quality speakers. They sounds great. Took some jerry-rigging to get into the Camry I put them in (Toyota has odd mounts).

rockford fosgate

I would recommend Rockford Fosgate.

Work great

The easy install did not take long. Much better than the stock Toyota speakers.

Great speakers

They sound great on my truck, with a 300 X 4 RF amp, and great price also!!

By ricardo on March 31, 2016 Verified purchase

Great value

Bought these speakers for my son for Christmas, he installed them and the sound is awesome. Great value for a great product!

Good sound

The bass isn't real good but the highs make u hear every word and every hi hat.. I would recommend for a full system not just for bass but they sound great!

rock hard

I like these rockfords they hit hard and sound good for the money yes very good sound Im very happy with them

Good Bang For Buck

First of all, great price! Bought these for a replacement of factory speakers in my 99 Grand Am GT Coupe. Perfect fit with no mods needed, just access old ones, remove and drop in. Other sites may say they are not compatible but they are for this vehicle. Sound good for the price and use them with the 12" amplified Bazooka tube, bought from Sonic, and best sounding system for all around price and package. Love Sonic, one stop shop. Thank you Sonic!!

Work perfectly!

Installed these in the doors of my 1980 Dodge PowerWagon 150 after junking the garbage Jensen 6x9s that some moron installed. These look nice and clean for the year, nothing too excessive that says "Steal me! I'm expensive!" on them. I want my truck looking nice and not worth breaking into to steal the equipment that cost more than my truck. They sound great, and the best, cheap option for my money. They aren't thumpers, but I just wanted some good speakers to put in my old clunker. These come with screws and the cheap metal brackets you can screw into through larger holes to secure the speakers in place.

Great value

Great fitment into stock slots, sound great for my stock replacements.

Sweet Amp

For the price, plenty of power and sounds great .

great speakers

I bought these speakers a while back from a local dealer. I paid 70 dollars for them there, but other than overpaying I love them. They sound great powered by my 2 channel 150 watt fosgate amp. Highly recommend.

Great Sound, Poor Fit!

Great sounding speaker but fitment was a complete nightmare! I purchased these because the description said they would fit my 2003 Toyota Camry without any modifications or adapters. They did fit the doors or the rear deck so be careful. I had to use the factory door mounting adapter but the mounting oles did not line up so I had to drill new holes. The rear deck hole was slightly larger than the speaker so I had to drill new screw holes in the rear deck in order to mount the speakers. I should have been informed of this when selecting this speaker and they should have included the necessary mounting adapters. Way to go Sonic Electronix! I should have bought from Crutchfield!

Great prices.

A nice sounding 3 way speaker with lots of range,i installed 2 of these speakers along with 2 planet audio 8 inch subs and 2 boss 3 way box speakers.Powered by a rockford fosgate 500 watt amp and a kenwood kdc-mp165u stereo.This system sounds excellent for the price.I have invested $360.00 for the whole sound system all purchased from Sonic Electronix,great value.I now have 14 speakers in my 1971 Mercury Montego.So far very happy with the products and pricing.As far durability i don't know ,the system has only been in the car for 2 weeks.

Fell in love

I purchased these to replace a blown stock rear speakers and sounded amazing. Once they were in i was disappointed with my fronts so bought there Punch P1653. Very good speakers and now a Rockford Fosgate fan. Now looking into there subs. Note: make sure you check the size back is kinda bulky other than no complaints.

good buy

Installed these speakers and couldn't believe the sound i got. I have a sub in the trunk and disconnected it just to hear these speakers and was really impressed with bass and highs these where putting out. Great upgrade...THUMBS UP!!

Good fit

I needed a shallow fit door speaker and these were perfect. The sound is strong and clear

Great Deal

Great sound and great price.

Great Value

Great bang for the buck speaker, would recomend.

Good value

Great loud 3 way 6x9s sound excellent and got a great deal. Thanks Sonic Electronix.

Really good

I just install a pair of these in my NISSAN ALMERA and they really sound good, the bass is not the best i have ever heard for a pair of 6x9 but they are OK. Sound is clear and good, the value is really good compared with its quality.

I cant rate durability yet as i mentioned i just installed them but lets hope they last for a really long time

Good Value

I just installed these in my 95 Honda. Good overall speaker. Not the best at handling lows as it delivers excessive bass with some distortion but for the price, not bad at all.

Buy these

Not expensive, but great. They do get loud, nothing to hear 2 blocks down but the sound in the car is so CLEAN and CLEAR.

great value great sound

Very good sound and looks.

Don't Be Fooled

I got these speakers after reading everyones' reviews and I must say I was sadly disappointed. I thought going with the name brand speakers would be a good choice but my factory speakers were louder and produced a cleaner sound than these.

Best Bang for buck with Great Sound Stage

I purchased the JVC KD-R610 Radio along with this complete Rockford Fosgate Prime R1652-S Component Speaker’s System for the front of my car and matching Rockford Fosgate Prime R1693 Full Range 3 Way Speaker’s for the rear. And the sound was a dynamic difference and amazing compared to the original sound stage. I can actually thank the sales man at Sonic for recommending the Rockford Fosgate Prime complete front & rear sound and didn't pay much at all for both sets. This is not only the best bang for buck but I can seriously say I am completely satisfied.

Good for the Money

I installed these speakers in my jeep and they rock, didn't want to spend a hole lot of money on speakes to be bounced around in the back. Good choice and quality. thanks

great!

Great speakers. I just put a pair in my 98 buick century wierd to the head unite. I have a Jensen VM 9214 7" touch that i also picked up from Sonic and they sound great. Highly recommended these.

68 Impala

I put these in my Impala with a 150 watt amp running them and everyone that has listened to it said it have the loudest system with the 6/9s and 2 Rockford Prime 12s in a sealed box. Sound is so clear and are really loud if amp'd right. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a clear sound

rockford fosgate prime r1693

I brought the fosgate prime r1693 and put them in my magnum. They have really good sound and I can hear them over the subwoofers

Amazing Speakers, Unbeatable Price

This speakers are amazing, i put four of them in my Mazda and they shake the frame. A serious best buy

Very Good Deals!

Really enjoy the speakers & what a price! A very good value. Installed them myself and never had a problem.

Good budget speaker

I have these ran off a 2 channel rockford amp around 100+ watts @4ohms and they sound pretty clear. They are in ported boxes in the back of my Firebird and will play LOUD and have some thump. In the front I have Polk 6.5's for nice highs and mids.
The bass is a little muddy from these 6x9s but that is mostly due to the ported boxes I think.
Highs are ok but I think most Polk speakers sound richer. I bought them for the brand name to match my amp and price.

Bottom line is I like my setup for the price.

My opinion
If you want more bass=KICKER
For more full high range=POLK

Better then Factory speakers

I bought a set of these for my Honda Odyssey Van to replace a set of speakers. I was surprised by the somewhat small magnets when I took them out of the box. (I'm old school and we always used to talk about 20oz magnets) I was looking on-line for the weight of the magnets now I know why they hide those specs. They installed pretty straightforward in the 6X9 cutouts for the old speakers. The grills look great and protect the speakers well. The Sony XM120 amp I was driving them with had developed fault in the protection circuit so it took me another two hours to find the internal fault in the amp and reinstall in in the van. I listened to a couple different type of music and felt the audio quality was okay but nothing to write home about. I need set of 6x9s for another car and will probably look to a different brand or a better model within R.F.

Good speaker

Big difference in sound quality compared to the stock paper cone speakers that used to be in my car.

Great Product and Price!

I purchased 2 Rockford Fasgate R1693 6x9's and I couldn't ask for more they are super loud come completely packaged with everything needed. Compared to recent 6x9's I had this blowed them out of the water I'm very pleased with them and i will shop here more often.

Great Sound for a Stock Replacement

Excellent sound for a Stock replacement 2006 ram 3500 Fits Tight but works.

outstanding sound

these sound great-good bass- loud -i give them 10 stars

Great rear deck replacement

I got these as a replacement for my 2002 Pontiac grand prix gt. I also got the adapter wire kit so this was truly a plug and play application. They sound great and fit perfect. Could not ask for too much more.

Awesome budget Rockford fosgate speakers

Used in my girlfriend’s 2011 Chevy Malibu! Made a world of difference when taking out of the crappy Bose factory speakers. Well worth the money and don’t take much power to get loud and singing!
