The Kenwood KFC-X1730 is a 6.5 inch 2 way car speaker system. The KFC-X1730 is a really nice addition to the excelon series. I had my first chance to here these speakers at the local car audio shop when we were looking to add some new speakers to a buddies car. They sounded pretty good for its price range. All though we did go with a different speaker, I still think that this would not be a bad buy. The KFC-X1730 speaker has unique diamond shapes that go al the way though the speaker which Kenwood claims that it lets the speaker produce a cleaner and clearer sound.
The Kenwood KFC-P709PS is a component speaker system from Kenwood’s performance series and I can see why. I am starting to become and bigger and bigger fan of this series. If you know how to install or you are paying someone I do recommend component speakers over 2 and 3 way speakers. They produce a better sound in my opinion. This 6.5 car stereo speaker comes with a injected polypropylene cone and has a really nice diamond patter as well. The KFC-P709PS has what Kenwood calls a advanced crossover network, which is important for the separately mounted dome tweeter. You do not want mid range sound coming out of the tweeter, you will blow them. The tweeter is a 1 inch tweeter that does swivel for best angle for sound after placement. The KFC-P709PS has a 80 watt RMS rating and a 280 watt peak rating. MSRP $129.99. I really like this car speaker and I would recommend it. Let me know what you think of it.
Tomorrow we are going to do a complete car stereo install. The Eclipse right now has a complete factory system so we will be upgrading all the major car audio components. The first thing that we are doing is replacing he factory CD-player. When ever you are going to install any type of amplifier its a lot easier with pre amp out puts. Jeff has selected the Pioneer DEH-P980BT. This is a older cd-player and he found one at a great discount so we thought it would be a good way to save some money on this install. Now after we have ran the power cable and installed the reciever its time to take a look at car speakers for the front doors.
The Eclipse has 6-3/4 factory speakers in the front doors. Jeff really like the 6-1/2 Kenwood KFC-1693PS so we are going to fabricate a adapter for they will fit with out any problems. Thanks to Dad for the adapter, saving Jeff some a little money and time here. With the adapter in place the speakers fit with out any problems.
How Do I Tune My Car Stereo Amplifier? This is a great video that gives beginners to the car stereo industry some tips on how to tune a car’s amplifier. I have seen way to many people turn gains all the way up and not be able to turn the car’s stereo to half way. This video explains the correct way to set the amp up.
Now we are starting to look at some Kenwood speakers that will require a amplifier to get the most out of them. The KFC-1693PS are a really nice upgrade, if you are looking to add to your car stereo system and you are adding a amplifier as well. While the KFC-1693PS don’t require a amp I do recommend one because of the 70 watts RMS power, and 240 watts peak power. This is a 6.5 inch 3 way car speaker and does deliver load and clean sound when kept with in the recommend wattage. The 3 way speaker system includes a 1-9/16 inch speaker and a 1/2 ceramic tweeter. Kenwood never ceases to amaze me with the quality of car audio products that they do put out. MSRP $119.00. I do recommend these car stereo speakers.
