They combine a polypropylene woofer and balanced-dome tweeter in a coaxial layout, helping simplify an audio-system refresh. With a 4-ohm impedance and 88 dB sensitivity, they are suited to compatible factory or aftermarket car-audio systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese speakers are rated for 100 watts RMS power under CTA-2031 and 350 watts peak input power. Their 76 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response covers much of the bass, midrange, and treble range used in everyday music listening. The 6-1\/2-inch woofer supports a direct-replacement-style upgrade where the vehicle has suitable mounting space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe woofer uses a black polypropylene cone with Kenwood's Diamond Array Pattern and a rubber surround. This construction is intended to support controlled cone movement while the rubber surround provides a durable connection between the cone and basket. A steel basket and black-painted steel top plate and yoke complete the speaker structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1-3\/16-inch balanced-dome tweeter handles upper-frequency reproduction. Kenwood's Acoustic Sound Harmonizer uses the tweeter-panel openings to control woofer sound waves for smoother response, while the Sound Field Enhancer is designed to widen the sound field at frequencies above 5 kHz. The low tweeter profile is also designed to assist fitment in many factory speaker locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KFC-1698RS can be used as a practical step up from basic factory speakers in a compatible 6-1\/2-inch location. Its 4-7\/8-inch cutout requirement and 1-7\/8-inch mounting depth should be checked against the vehicle before installation. Grilles, mounting hardware, speaker cords, adhesive tape, and a warranty card are included for installation support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Way Coaxial Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines woofer and tweeter functions in each speaker location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100W RMS Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e CTA-2031-compliant continuous power rating for amplifier matching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond Array Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene cone design helps reduce distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubber Surround:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports cone movement and long-term durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Sound Harmonizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controls woofer sound waves through the tweeter panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Field Enhancer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expands the perceived sound field above 5 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KFC-1698RS uses a 160 mm polypropylene woofer cone, rubber surround, steel basket, ferrite woofer magnet, and neodymium tweeter magnet. Its black-painted steel top plate and yoke are designed to release heat efficiently within the magnetic circuit. The optimized woofer damper shape incorporates stress-leveling points for durability and smoother response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm that the vehicle accepts a 4-7\/8-inch circular cutout and provides at least 1-7\/8 inches of mounting depth before purchase. The speaker's overall dimensions differ depending on whether the supplied grille is used, so check panel clearance as well as mounting depth. Use the included screws, speed nuts, speaker cords, and adhesive tape as appropriate, and match the speakers with a compatible 4-ohm audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45633156350022,"sku":"KFC-1698RS","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/81_vVxLLdGL.jpg?v=1784405738","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/kenwood-kfc-1698rs-6-5-2-way-car-speakers","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
