Kenwood KFC-1796PS 6-3/4" 2-Way Speakers

The Kenwood KFC-1796PS is a pair of 6-3/4-inch round 2-way car speakers designed for replacing compatible factory door or rear-deck speakers. It provides a practical upgrade path for vehicles whose original speakers have lost clarity, detail, or output. With a 4-ohm impedance and 100-watt RMS input rating, these speakers can be used with compatible factory or aftermarket audio systems.

These speakers are suited to drivers who need a shallow-mount replacement speaker with a nominal 6-3/4-inch format. Their 5-1/2-inch cutout requirement and 1-7/8-inch mounting depth make measuring the factory opening and available door clearance important before purchase. The low-profile tweeter design is intended to help the speaker fit many factory locations.

The KFC-1796PS combines a polypropylene woofer cone with a 1-3/16-inch balanced-dome tweeter. Its published frequency response is 72 Hz to 24 kHz, supporting midbass, vocals, and upper-frequency detail from a full-range speaker position. Sensitivity is rated at 88 dB at 1 meter under CTA standards.

Kenwood uses a Diamond Array Pattern Woofer Cone to help reduce distortion, along with a Sound Field Enhancer on the tweeter. The tweeter shape is designed to direct sound forward and broaden the sound field at frequencies from 5 kHz upward. An Acoustic Sound Harmonizer uses openings in the tweeter panel to manage woofer sound waves for smoother high-frequency transition.

For a complete vehicle upgrade, the KFC-1796PS can be installed as compatible front or rear full-range speakers and paired with a properly matched 4-ohm amplifier or speaker output. The steel basket, rubber surround, and ferrite woofer magnet support a conventional coaxial-speaker installation. Included grilles also make the pair useful for custom installations where the speaker face will remain visible.

Key Features

• 6-3/4-Inch 2-Way Design: Fits compatible round factory-replacement and custom speaker locations.
• 100W RMS Input: Handles up to 100 watts of rated input power.
• Polypropylene Woofer Cone: Provides a rigid woofer diaphragm for full-range playback.
• Balanced-Dome Tweeter: Adds dedicated upper-frequency reproduction from a coaxial layout.
• Sound Field Enhancer: Helps project higher frequencies forward with a wider sound field.
• Acoustic Sound Harmonizer: Controls woofer wave interaction through the tweeter panel.

Design & Installation

The KFC-1796PS uses a black polypropylene woofer cone, rubber surround, steel basket, and ferrite woofer magnet. Its 30 mm balanced-dome tweeter uses a neodymium magnet, while the frame incorporates an enlarged open area intended to support bass response and cleaner sound. Kenwood also uses black-painted yoke and plate components to aid heat release within the magnetic circuit.

Confirm the vehicle's opening, mounting depth, screw pattern, and trim clearance before installation. The specified cutout diameter is 5-1/2 inches and mounting depth is 1-7/8 inches; adapters or vehicle-specific harnesses may be needed depending on the vehicle. The package includes grilles, mounting hardware, short speaker cords, and adhesive tape for installation support.
