Kenwood KFC-1096PS 4" 2-Way Car Speakers

The Kenwood KFC-1096PS is a pair of 4-inch, 2-way coaxial car speakers designed to replace worn or limited factory speakers in compatible locations. Its compact round format is suited to vehicles that use 4-inch speaker openings and need a shallow mounting profile. The pair is rated for 50 watts RMS power handling and 220 watts peak power.

These speakers use a polypropylene woofer cone with a rubber surround and a 1-inch balanced-dome tweeter. This two-way arrangement combines midrange and high-frequency reproduction in a single speaker assembly. With a 114 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response, the KFC-1096PS is intended for full-range speaker positions rather than dedicated low-frequency subwoofer duty.

Kenwood's Diamond Array Pattern Woofer Cone is designed to help reduce distortion while supporting controlled cone behavior. The Acoustic Sound Harmonizer uses the tweeter-panel structure to manage woofer sound waves for a smoother transition through the upper-frequency range. A Sound Field Enhancer shape around the tweeter is designed to promote forward sound and wider high-frequency dispersion.

The KFC-1096PS uses a 4-ohm impedance, making it appropriate for many standard aftermarket car-audio systems. Its 85 dB sensitivity rating and 50-watt RMS rating provide useful matching information when selecting a compatible receiver or amplifier. For amplified systems, use an amplifier channel that is stable at 4 ohms and appropriately matched to the speaker's continuous power rating.

With a 3-11/16-inch cutout requirement and 1-11/16-inch mounting depth, these speakers can fit many compact factory locations when the vehicle provides sufficient clearance. The included grilles also support installations where the speakers will be visible rather than installed behind factory panels. They can serve as a direct speaker replacement or as part of a broader system upgrade with an aftermarket receiver, amplifier, or subwoofer.

Key Features

• 4-Inch 2-Way Design: Combines woofer and tweeter drivers in each compact coaxial speaker.
• 50W RMS Power Handling: Supports appropriately matched factory or aftermarket amplification.
• Polypropylene Woofer Cone: Provides a durable cone material with a rubber surround.
• 1-Inch Balanced-Dome Tweeter: Handles upper-frequency detail within the coaxial speaker assembly.
• Acoustic Sound Harmonizer: Controls woofer sound waves through the tweeter-panel openings.
• Sound Field Enhancer: Helps project high frequencies forward and broaden dispersion.

Design & Installation

The KFC-1096PS uses a black polypropylene woofer cone, rubber surround, steel basket, ferrite woofer magnet, and neodymium tweeter magnet. Its Diamond Array cone pattern, black-painted yoke and plate, and revised woofer damper shape are engineering details intended to support controlled operation and durability. Each speaker measures 5-5/16 inches across with its grille installed.

Confirm the vehicle's available cutout diameter, mounting depth, and clearance above the speaker before installation. The package includes two speakers, grilles and grille frames, two 20-inch speaker-wire lengths, mounting screws, speed clips, grille putty, and documentation. Use correct polarity when connecting the speaker wire, and match the installation to a 4-ohm compatible receiver or amplifier channel.
