Kenwood KFC-6966S 6x9-Inch 3-Way Coaxial Speakers

The Kenwood KFC-6966S is a pair of 6x9-inch 3-way coaxial car speakers for upgrading compatible factory speaker locations. It is designed for drivers who want a straightforward replacement speaker with full-range output from a single mounting position. The 4-ohm design suits many conventional car-audio speaker circuits.

Each speaker is rated for 45 watts RMS input power and 400 watts peak input power. With a 91 dB sensitivity rating and a stated 35 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, the KFC-6966S is built to provide clear everyday playback across bass, midrange, and high-frequency content. Power matching with the vehicle's head unit or an appropriately rated amplifier is important for reliable operation.

The 3-way coaxial layout combines a 6x9-inch polypropylene woofer, a 2-inch cone tweeter, and a 1/2-inch ceramic super tweeter in each speaker assembly. This arrangement places multiple drivers in the same location, helping simplify an upgrade where separate component speakers are not required. The polypropylene woofer cone is paired with a cloth surround for durable speaker movement.

Kenwood uses a ferrite woofer magnet and describes an enlarged magnet circuit to support clear sound. The speaker's Sound Field Enhancer design is intended to support sound quality within the constraints of an in-vehicle installation. Its low 7/16-inch tweeter height helps it fit beneath more factory grilles and interior panels where clearance permits.

These speakers can be used as a replacement pair in compatible rear decks, doors, or other 6x9-inch mounting locations. Confirm the vehicle's opening, mounting depth, grille clearance, and wiring connection before installation. The package includes grilles, mounting hardware, speed nuts, and short speaker cords to support a basic installation.

Key Features

• 3-Way Coaxial Design: Integrates woofer, tweeter, and super tweeter drivers into each speaker.
• 45W RMS Rating: Supports power matching with compatible car stereos or amplifiers.
• 400W Peak Input: Provides short-term peak power handling specification for each speaker.
• Polypropylene Woofer Cone: Uses a lightweight PP diaphragm for the 6x9-inch woofer.
• Three High-Frequency Drivers: Includes a 2-inch cone tweeter and 1/2-inch ceramic super tweeter.
• Shallow Tweeter Profile: The 7/16-inch tweeter height helps accommodate grille clearance.

Design & Installation

The KFC-6966S uses a silver polypropylene woofer diaphragm with a cloth surround, plus ferrite magnet structures for the woofer and tweeter sections. Each speaker measures 10-9/16 inches wide by 7-5/8 inches high with its grille installed. The integrated coaxial construction keeps all three driver sections in one 6x9-inch speaker assembly.

Verify a 6-1/16 by 8-3/4-inch cutout, 3-inch mounting depth, and sufficient grille or trim clearance before purchase. Use the included tapping screws and speed nuts where appropriate, and connect the included 0.3-meter speaker cords or vehicle wiring with correct polarity. For amplified systems, select an amplifier channel that is compatible with each speaker's 4-ohm impedance and 45-watt RMS input rating.
