This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Prime R1652-S 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System (Electronics)

these are great component speakers if you are not going to use an amp. i am running them off of a pioneer premier HU that puts out about 22rms (it is rated at 45w) and they sound great. I recommend if you are not using an amp and have a decent aftermarket HU.

This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Prime R1652-S 6.5-Inch Component Speaker System (Electronics)

Bought these to replace my tired stock speakers in my 2002 4Runner.

Fit & Install:
I checked to see if they would fit in my front doors and both amazon and crutc#field said "no", but I checked the dimensions and they looked like they would fit. I'm an adventourous guy, so I bought them anyway. I'm glad I did. BTW, the woofers fit fine w/o any mods(YEL wire to + & GRY wire to -). I had to remove the tweeters from the RF supplied flushmount base and then used adhesive to secure them to my 4Runner's tweeter bracket (after I unscrewed the factory tweeter from the bracket, of course). The tweeter wiring is 4Runner RED wire to tweeter BLK wire & 4Runner BLK wire to tweeter BLK/WHT wire. There is no separate crossover to install as it is already built in to the tweeter. It took me about 45 mins to do both doors.

System:
I have a JBL KD-BT1 head unit providing pre-amp outs to an Alpine 160W(40W X 4 ch @ 4Ohms) and a RF 375W(1 ch @ 2Ohms). My Alpine is powering my door speakers and my RF amp is powering a single 10" Eclipse aluminum cone sub (in a 0.5 cu ft sealed box!).

Sound:
Not audiophile quality, but much better than stock speakers.
Very little punch from these speakers (crossover set @ 100Hz cutoff on 18db/oct.) No biggie b/c my sub fills in the lows.
Tweeters perform better than I thought they would. Not too bright & the output pairs seemlessly with the woofer. However, I did tweek my EQ settings a bit. They sound dismal with Flat EQ settings - typ of lower grade speakers.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. The fit and finish isn't what I expected from RF - glued joints messier than expected, but I got them for $42 shipped. They are well worth that price!

Superb product! You just can't beat the quality of Rockford Fosgate. I installed these in the doors of my 2010 Camaro and what an improvement! The only downside is that if you don't replace the rest of your speakers they will drown out your mids and lows. Definitely see these fitting in perfectly with the rest of the equipment I've yet to install.
