Rockford Fosgate P1V2-68 6x8" 3-Way Coaxial Speakers

The Rockford Fosgate P1V2-68 is a pair of 6x8-inch, 3-way coaxial car speakers designed to replace factory full-range speakers in compatible door or rear-deck locations. It combines a midrange driver, inverted-dome tweeter, and piezo super tweeter in each speaker to add dedicated high-frequency reproduction where a basic OEM speaker may not provide it. This makes it a practical upgrade for drivers seeking clearer everyday listening from a factory stereo or an aftermarket system.

Each P1V2-68 speaker is rated for 75 watts RMS and 150 watts peak at 4 ohms. Its 45 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response and 88 dB sensitivity rating support broad full-range playback from a compatible head unit or external amplifier. The speakers are sold as a pair, with power ratings stated per speaker.

The 3-way layout uses a 3/4-inch Tetolon inverted-dome tweeter and a 3/8-inch polypropylene piezo super tweeter above the 6x8-inch midrange. This arrangement is intended to improve high-frequency detail and preserve the convenience of a single mounting location. An integrated concealed crossover network manages the speaker's internal driver arrangement.

Rockford Fosgate uses a mica-reinforced polypropylene curvilinear cone with a Santoprene half-roll surround for the main driver. The cone and surround are co-molded together, while a linear Nomex spider and stitched braided tinsel leads support repeated cone movement. A vented Kapton voice-coil former and overhung voice-coil design are used to support heat dissipation and consistent operation.

The P1V2-68 is suited to 6x8-inch factory locations that meet its mounting requirements. Its standard mounting depth is 2.61 inches, while removing the motor cover reduces required depth to 2.37 inches. Check the vehicle's cutout, mounting surface, window travel, and front-side clearance before installation.

Key Features

• 3-Way Coaxial Design: Combines midrange, tweeter, and piezo super tweeter in each speaker.
• 75 Watts RMS: Handles up to 75 watts RMS per speaker.
• 4-Ohm Impedance: Matches common factory and aftermarket car-audio systems.
• Integrated ICC+ Crossover: Uses a concealed internal 6 dB-per-octave crossover network.
• Reinforced Cone Assembly: Mica-reinforced polypropylene cone and Santoprene surround support durable operation.
• Removable Motor Cover: Helps accommodate installations with limited mounting depth.

Design & Installation

The P1V2-68 uses a 15% glass-fiber-reinforced PA66 composite basket, high-strength Y35 ferrite motor structure, and co-molded basket terminals. Its 1-inch voice coil uses a vented Kapton former, and the surround is chemically bonded to the cone body. These construction details are paired with a fatigue- and tear-resistant linear Nomex spider and flexible braided tinsel leads.

Confirm that the installation location supports the 7.19 x 5.18-inch cutout, 2.61-inch standard mounting depth, and 0.43-inch front-side clearance. The package includes mounting screws, wire leads, crimp connectors, and a cutout template, but grilles are not included. Use correct speaker polarity, route wiring before mounting, and avoid overtightening the mounting screws.
