super loud and crisp

I am pushing these with a Kenwood KDC-HD545U HD radio and they sound so clear. I also have the Fosgate p3l-s12 sub. These speakers are a complete change from factory-not a ton of bass on thier own but adequate. I have a 99 f250 Super Duty diesel. They fit perfect. If you have a F250-you have to get these, you wont be disappointed.

best speakers ever!

i bought these a few weeks and after installing them couldn't believe how clean and deep they sound, most bang for the buk with these speakers, literally! i have found no down side to them. compared to my friends alpines and pioneers they blow them out of the water, also they are LOUD!!! the bass that they provide eliminates the need for the subs in my car now.

Amazing

Amazing sounds. Perfect bass and mids. Highs are great too. Would reccommend for sure.

Just what I needed

I have a 2005 Mazda 3 and they fit PERFECT into the rear doors. Even with the stock system these speakers were a GREAT improvement.

These suck

I bought these a couple day ago and installed them yesterday, they are being powered by my jensen head unit. Absolutly no bass. Mids are okay and highs are okay as well, but hardly better than stock. Would not buy these again.

Look No Further

If you're not wanting to go all out but you also don't want to go cheap then step up a bit from the $50 range and get these!

These speakers slam. They fit perfect into my 2000 Ford Ranger. It's a shame the two rear speakers face right directly into the seat but when you crank it it's like having a built in electric massage chair. Yes they are nasty.

Crystal clear, sounds like your in a symphony hall and with a cheap $50 amp they hit hard for their size. I do not see how ANYONE could be disappointed in these, they're superb!

rockford p1683 6x8 speakers

They rock, awesome sound, blow you out the doors, very impressed, well made would buy again. (need good amp, KICKER)

Nice and Clear!!!

I installed these in an 07 Mazda 3 with a Pioneer AVH-3700BHS head unit and an Alpine power pack. They're loud and clear. They can definitely take more power than they're getting but I'm satisfied for now. Nice surround on the speaker too, other speakers in the same class are made from flimsy paper.

Fantastic

These are diffidently excellent speakers and the value even better! Great sound crisp's just to my likening. I have this hooked to a stock deck and amp and a single 8'sub and the sound is fantastic! I would recommend these to anyone.

LOUD!!

LOUD AND CLEAN. BEST SPEAKERS IVE EVER HAD. I CAN HEAR THEM OVER MY P3 NOW. B4 I COULDNT REALLY HEAR THE MUSIC. BUT NOW. ITS LOUD AS S%$#@!!!!!! GREAT SPEAKERS OVER ALL. THERE NOT TO BIG WHERE YOU NEED SOME KIND OF MOUNTING ADAPTER. SO THEY FIT PERFECTLY IN YOUR DOOR.

I don't know.

I drive a 2013 mustang GT with the Shaker 500 sound system. They don't fit.

awesome

These 6x8's make my 6x9's irrelevant! Definitely a fan of KICKER now! I'm replacing my Boss 6x9's with KICKER! New fan for sure!

Love these speakers

This is the third set of these I have put into my cars. THEY SOUND AWSOME!!

best bang for your buck

These speakers are a great addition to any audio system you turn them up and you will be heard.

Crystal Clear

These speakers sound really good, the high and mids are perfect for me and the bass is punchy. I would recommend adding a 4 channel amp with these speakers for even more sound quality.

awesome speakers

Great speakers, bought them 6 months . Am running four of these with a black box 400 rms amp and they sound perfect. Great buy from sonic!

Great Value and Worth Every Penny

These speakers coupled to my stock radio added a whole new dimension to sound quality. I can even turn the radio all the way up without distortion and the speakers can handle way more. The sound range is spectacular from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs.

i knew rockford fosgate were good

I already knew Rockfords were good. So that's why I got these for my 2003 Ford Taurus ses. The factory speakers sucked. My aftermarket head unit is pushin about 17 watts rms which isn't allot at all. But these speakers have great bass, mids, and highs. The bass from tech n9ne vibrates my mirrors with the windows down. These are great speakers and will become even better if u get an amp for them.
I would recommend these speakers to anyone.

Have had speakers since September 2009

good!

I love the speakers they will take a beating...price match them..got mine for $50 a pair.

Rockford Fosgate P1683

I purchased these speakers for my 05 F-150 crew cab from Sonic Electronix a few weeks ago. They arrived early, you couldn't beat the price either, I was very pleased with the customer service. But when they came in, a friend was getting rid of a vehicle and had these same speakers in his truck. So he took those and gave them to me, and put his factory ones back in. So I returned my speakers with no problems out on Sonic Electonix, they refunded the money no hassle. Great customer service. Anyway these speakers are awesome, plenty of range, they get loud! The quality of Rockford Fosgate is unbelievable if i get another vehicle this is the company I'm going to. Sonic Electronix and Rockford Fosgate.

Rockford Fosgate P1683

Love the speakers and they were delivered to my home fast. And they were a good price.

Great SOUND

Incredible sound for a stock radio (Ford Escape 2009), sound is crisp and loud. I recommend these speakers over most speakers such as sony. pioneer, bose etc,

Good stuff

for the money you would be hard pressed to find the same value

Good Product

These speakers are great. I have them in my F250 and they sound awesome. They are clear and very crisp. If you run a low powered amp to them they will boom with bass. Overall great deal.

Good Product will buy "Power" series next time

I bought these for my 2007 Ford F150 and they sound very clean and crisp. Only downside is installation was a pain in the butt because you need to buy an adapter for the f150 and it doesn't fit on the prongs so you need to bend the adapter to make it work.

Not too much bass, next time I will go with the Rockford Fosgate "POWER" series, because I like more Bass.

great

the best amp for the money gives great sound and small and easy to set up well worth the money i spent for it

Love em!

I got two speakers at first and I liked them so well I ordered two more. They fit perfectly in my F150 and fill the cab with quality sound for a very very reasonable price.

Never Again...

I bought a set of these and 6x9s for my Mazda 626 and hooked them to a punch 400-4 amp with a Sony Xplod HU. These speakers seem to distort on most music at moderate volume. The mids over power most of the music and gives an empty feeling to the music leaving you wanting more upper mids. The highs sound superb however they could use a bit more volume and the bass was excellent in the 6x9s but only in rap. I replaced these rfs with pioneers and was much happier with the overall clarity and added bass, not to mention I paid full price in an audio shop and for half the cost walmart pioneers sounded much better. I still have to replace the 6x9s and the screaming mids back there are a little unpleasant but sorta blend with the bassy pios.

Awsome

I got these speakers to replace my mach 460 in my mustang and they are being run off of a Bazooka amp that puts out 60rms and they take it all day long with no distortion. It took me about 2 weeks of getting them put in for me to get a ticket cuz the cop could hear it from 2 blocks away and that was only about 75% of the way up. Overall they sound clear and I would Highly recommend them.

Well made entry level amp

This amp was installed with an OEM Ford CD6 to enhance the sound. It works flawlessly, has good quality sound, and was easy to set up. It has a good quality to it even though it is an entry level piece.

Great sound!

Not much louder(off of head unit power) than the factory Ford premium speakers that my 1998 Ford Explorer was equipped with. However with an amp they would be very loud and the sound quality is perfect. Fills the entire vehicle with good sounding lows and very crisp mids and highs. No distortion at all. This is my fourth system and these are some of the best if not the best speakers I have owned.

great speakers even better price

I bought these speakers to replace the stock ones in my Ranger . They fit perfect and the sound will blow you away .

Great Value

Excellent speakers for the price sound great even with factory stereo, easy to install in factory locations.

Rockford Fosgate P1683

I just got these and hooked them up in my car and they sound really loud and clear! These are great for a not so cheap but not so expensive price.

fits factory locations

Bought these because I wanted to replace the factory speakers. Good crisp sound and easy to install. I am satisfied that I got what I was looking g for with this purchase.

Bought two sets. This is not just a duplicate. I was asked to review both purchases. They are the same product though.

Rockford 6x8

Great sound quality and a great price. Fit perfect in my Ford F550!

Satisfied Consumer.

Well worth the money. I am happy with my purchase.

RF P1683 Coaxial Speakers

I spent hours on this site meticulously dissecting each and every 6 by 8 inch coaxial speaker in which this site offers based on reviews, and contrary to my kicker roots, I decided to choose these Rockford Fosgate P1683's because they were so highly rated. I installed within the first hour of their arrival and was bracing myself for face cringing loudness. I was sooo dissatisfied. The lows that these speakers provide became better over time, but the mids seemed flat and the highs were ear splitting. The factory head unit in my f250 probably takes away some of the potential performance from these speakers; I'll just have to see what improvements can be made with a Pioneer 4300. If I was in the position of buying these speakers again, I would stop, do more research, and closely examine which speakers have the most to offer.

Great value

Perfect fit in my 2003 Ford F250.
Pros Sounds great, easy install
Cons none

By Philip on January 16, 2018 Verified purchase

these are the best

These are awesome you will not regret. so clear, loud, and awesome!

Good buy, but had to say good bye.

I bought two pairs of these to replace some old Kicker 5x7 in the doors of an Expedition, and the P1683 sounded very good, especially the highs from the dual tweeters. I was running them off of a Punch 400.4 but had to keep the gains turned all the way down as they were just too loud with the gains turned up at all. I pulled these out of my Expedition when I traded for an F-150 because I assumed they would fit the doors of the F-150 as did the vehicle guide on several websites, but no they were just a bit too large. So instead, I orded Polk Audio 5x7 for the F-150 and they sound excellent and fit in easily. I would say the P1683 have better "high"s than the Polk DB571, but the P1683 also have two tweeters vs only one in the Polk. But I would also say that the Polk DB571 have a better overall sound with more midbass and with the 400.4 running the Polk, I can get them as loud as I want with no distortion. I did have to turn up the gains on the amp about halfway to get the Polk speakers to perform at the level I want them at, but that's what gain levels are for.

nothen better

I just installed these myself in my 2000 Ford Ranger (all four doors). WOW incredible performance definitely worth the cash for RF products. I would recommend these to anyone who wants good clean sound (who duzent?) I myself have a $1000 dollar + sound system with 2 12inch RF p2s and a Hifonics 2500w Mono D amp running 4 gauge wire at 4ohms and these are great for just that. Please keep in mind these are not intended to produce low bass they are only for mids and highs! and they do that well!

Pleasantly surprised for the price.

I'm a 50 something male and have been in the car stereo game for a long time. I needed something with good sound and a little kick. I got exactly what I was looking for.
New customer for life.

Good Speakers

These are good for factory replacements. A bit too much on the higher pitch sound. Had to turn the treble down and crank the bass up. Also the fitment in a 2014 F-150 was good, but on the driver side the new speaker is close to the window rail, so when window is up a rattle occurs. Going to have to remove the speaker and put some insulation in place to stop the rattle.

Great speakers

Bought these along with a kenwood kdc-hd262u and i was suprised at how good theses sounded. Clean, clear, full sound. Bass is pretty good as far as door speakers go. The mids are very nice. The highs are good, not over the top good, but they are crisp and clean. Overall amazing speakers for such a good price.

Speakers are well designed, look and sound great. Very impressed. I would totally recommend these to friends.

RF Punch P1683

First I purchased the set because I'm old school and the price was awesome at the time of purchase. The sound is fantastic just as I remember from way back. I would, and have, recommended them to several friends that have heard them in action at work and their reaction to the sound from them was great. I plan on purchasing another set for the back then my amp and 12".

Perfect fit & sound

Installed a pair(front&rear) in a 2006 P71 Ford Crown Victoria. Originals were broken, these sound great powered by the Pioneer headunit. Would without a doubt shine with an amp

Great speaker

I installed 2 pairs of these in my 2012 mustang. They were one of the few 6x8's that were 3 way speakers. This is my first Rockford product ever. I've been a kicker and pioneer buyer through the years but I'm very impressed with these. Will be building a full punch system including a 600.4 a 1000.1 and two p3 10's

By Bosscj on March 10, 2017 Verified purchase

Awesome Speakers!

Bought these for my 2008 F250. Extremely happy. Since they are a 3 way speaker the tweeters are very bright, this wasn't a big deal because I tuned in out in the deck. Really happy with Rockford and the quality of their products.

Quality sounding speakers without breaking the bank

These Rockfords are great speakers for the price. I replaced the stock speakers in my 05 taurus. With my 12 inch diamond sub and kenwood Bluetooth head unit these Rockfords complete my system. Let me tell you they sound great. Really easy install and great bass and mid sound. Nothing to crazy because I was looking for overall sound quality and that's exactly what you get. They are pretty loud and the sound doesn't distort at all. I would recommend these to anyone looking for quality speakers without breaking the bank.

Price match

Price match ...can get them for $49.99 with free shipping. Come on guys.

Nice speakers!

Put a pair in our sons 02' Stang in the front doors and another pair on his rear deck. Sound great! Hit them with a Rockford Fosgate PBR300x2 and man they sing! Complimented his Rockford Fosgate P3 12's running on a 500w Fosgate Punch Amo just right! Can only crank the deck up to about 18 on the volume and your eardrums start vibrating! Love it, and so does he!

By Brian on September 24, 2022 Verified purchase

clean sound

These were an easy install and sounded clean in my 2014 f-150. The factory head unit was plenty powerful to push them.

loud and clear!!!!

Installed these in all 4 doors of a 98 Ford Explorer running off of a newer Alpine h/u with Sony subs and amp. Highly recommend these speakers. I have had the volume much higher than my ears could handle just to test 'em out. Even at extremely high volumes the speakers were clear with absolutely NO distortion!!!! So impressed with these I will soon be purchasing the matching Punch tweeters!! ******field says they won't fit the front doors but they fit perfectly..stick with sonic...hope that helps some other explorer driver's!!!
