Rockford Fosgate P1683 Punch 6"x8" 3-Way Coaxial Full Range Speakers - Black (Pair)

The media could not be loaded. Installed on a 2005 F-150. Replaced front door speakers only. No factory tweeters installed on my truck. No subwoofer installed, and running off of a stock radio/amplifier.Previously installed on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria. I changed all four on that car. Worth the investment.F-150 Notes:-Sound quality and power is a very noticeable upgrade from factory 6x8 speakers. At all ranges. The highs are crisper, midrange has a clearer tone, and the lows offer a nice punch that really accents the music, but isn't over the top. No cheap rattle sounds here.-On similar year/make/model, you will need to shave the speaker's mounting ears to be closer to slimline with the diameter of the speaker housing. The bump-outs will not permit you to fit your speaker in your front door cavity.You will also need to either purchase a wiring adapter from ford, or if you're handy with electronics, cut the original harness & create your own by splicing a jumper with stak-ons that will clamp onto the speaker's tabs.If you're really fancy you could solder as well, but I didn't find it necessary. The sound quality as I installed them is incredible to me.I'm a simple man who uses his truck to commute to & from. I don't get crazy with modifications. To me, if it's not broken, don't fix it.When it comes to music however, it's the thing I enjoy most on my drives. The pair was well worth the $100. In my opinion, there's little need to upgrade your system any further than here.If you're curious, the song playing is "Saxophones" by Jimmy Buffett. Not only is it a great song, but also helps highlight all ranges the speakers have to offer.Hope this helped!Happy driving!

Sounds great on a 2011 ford 250. Fitment is good. Bought them because of other reviews honestly; and they’re not anything to rave about. Definitely better than average though. Good treble, decent mids, and decent bass from an upgraded head unit. Easy to install like a typical speaker installation. All in all worth the extra dollars over sub $50 alternatives which I’ve tried before.

I have used Rockford Fosgate throughout my life. They have never disappointed me in any way (knock on wood) but now I am older I use all my stuff in unconventional ways as did these P1675 speakers!!! Man let me tell you these are some AWESOME SOUNDING SPEAKERS!!! The clarity in these i am still amazed. I included a couple pics of how I set them up. It's 3am at the moment otherwise I would upload a video of them, but what you see is exactly what I use them for. They are worth every dollar spent on them. As described by them they pack a punch when needed. Small and powerful sounding

There ok, not the Rockford Fosgate I used to know? Seems like stuff is getting poorly made these days. They sound ok, my Alpine's were better till I blew them. So I replaced the front doors with these. I don't think they'll last. Don't get me wrong? There are way worse speakers out there. And if your running a stock or aftermarket headunit and no amplifier? Then these are fine. But if your running a nice 4 channel then I would recommend something different. They arrived quick though, and we're packed nice. Like I said This brand used to be a serious audio company. And I think it's definitely gotten cheaper.

These speakers sound really good. They live up to the reputation that Rockford Fosgate as established over the years. I installed these in the front doors of my Jeep Cherokee and they sound fantastic. The bass is good and so is the treble. It's important to realize that if you have a crappy stereo, good speakers can't make your stereo better.

These speakers fit perfectly into my Mustang and sound great !!!

Best Thump-Bump for the money. I'm a bit of an audiophile but won't spend $$$ for extreme sound when these are affordable and sound amazing. Clear highs sound truly separated from the underlying bass line in a way that I've actually never heard in any of my friend's cars and is even hard to reproduce in a home surround system. You have to hear it to fully understand but you can have more bass and still hear the lyrics clearer and crisper than ever before.I actually turned my treble down a little at first because the tweeter and mid range was really standing out. Once I got them equalized on my aftermarket 16w RMS stereo it sounds great (Cheap Dual 5" screen stereo, I wouldn't recommend it unless you keep the WallyWord receipt to swap it out when it breaks early). After turning the bass up and mids down a few dB, the treble can be turned up just fine. I always turn mids down some, it's not the speakers. The cymbal hits were so crisp I could hear the cymbals resonating as they faded away over a strong bass line, like in real life. Yep, I was saying wow.I only have the front speakers installed so far and even with poor quality original rears the 2 front 6x8" Fosgates seem to put out as much bass as my factory 8" amplified sub, and they are punchier, more accurate sounding with a very satisfying rumble. However, for balanced sound I would recommend having an 8 or 10" sub. No reason to overdo the sub but it does add depth. This doesn't mean the speakers are weak and require a sub, in fact most people would be satisfied with the bass provided by 4 Fosgate Punches - at least using the 6x8 size.The cone is concave and exterior build quality is outstanding. I expect them to last. I did extensive research on all types of door speakers and spent a little more for these, glad I did.Further Review and Thoughts:My factory speakers are molded into a small box and these are just installed freely inside the door frame, I can definitely feel the sound resonating inside that un-tuned door. They would sound better with a small enclosure, maybe ported, but buidling / installing that would be tricky unless you use something like a Boom Mat speaker baffle (never tried them but probably helpful if it fits properly - see reviews). If anyone has used them with these speakers please comment, I suspect porting would do best since they are moving some air.I'm really excited to install the rears! Very easy to install and in the 05 Explorer the door panels couldn't be easier to remove. Cost wise you might be surprised what your factory speakers are selling for used on eBay. I can hopefully get enough to offset half my cost.These aren't designed to be turned way up to 11, you need something with higher RMS wattage for that but they are loud. Trust me, I doubt you'll return these for audio reasons nor want to upgrade after you get them equalized properly. If your stereo is factory, upgrade that first for best sound. I'm telling everyone to come sit and listen to at least 30 seconds of music.I used dielectric grease on the connectors but check to see if your car's wires have oxidized, mine had a black coating on the copper wire even tho it was stripped 3" back from the connector. This could affect transmission so I used a pocket knife to quickly scrape that off and make it shiny before attaching my blade connectors. Crimp them tight and check polarity!I needed small washers on the factory screw heads so they wouldn't dig into the mounting holes but hardware and clips are provided. I took the install opportunity to clean and spray my door hinges with white lithium grease and clean the door seams and window track. A window motor can last inevitably longer if dust and grit aren't causing resistance.Real-World Technical Aspects:Prices can't be beaten, pick up a couple sets, generally for best sound use the same speakers in all 4 doors. The magnet was strong in these by the way, that's a very good sign. I wouldn't worry about the mediocre sensitivity specs, it's not quite 90 dB or higher but the volume loudness was fine even with a relatively underpowered head unit.The frequency range also sounded full to me, I could hear and feel the low frequency lows very well and obviously they are producing the highs in blissful abundance. The crossover works beautifully to separate the frequencies and send them to the proper component. I assume this is one aspect where Rockford Fosgate's engineering is superior to lesser brands. My car came with premium sound, 2-way door speakers and a factory 8" sub but this fills the car with sound, blowing the old speakers out of the water and onto an eBay listing!
