KICKER 51KSS6504
Choose KICKER 51KSS6504 for a 6.5-inch component installation with separate silk-dome tweeters.⁵

Rockford Fosgate P3V2-69C3
Choose Rockford Fosgate P3V2-69C3 when you want its three-way coaxial/component configuration in a compatible 6x9-inch position.¹

Buying advice

Check mounting dimensions and confirm your amplifier supports the speaker’s impedance before ordering; the T1693 is rated at 4 ohms.²

For coaxial speakers

A coaxial speaker keeps its drivers together; mounting size and depth still need to match the vehicle.⁴ Choose T1693 for a compatible 6x9-inch full-range installation, and match its 100-watt RMS handling rating to your amplifier.¹²

For building a front soundstage

A component system lets you place the tweeter separately from the woofer.⁵ Choose KICKER 51KSS6504 for a compatible 6.5-inch installation with silk-dome tweeters.⁵

For installs that could go coaxial or component

A convertible system gives you coaxial and component configuration options.⁶ Choose Rockford Fosgate P2V2-69HO when its 6x9-inch format and 2-ohm load suit your installation and amplifier.⁶¹³

For lower-impedance speakers

A lower-impedance speaker needs an amplifier or head unit rated for its load.¹³ Choose P2V2-69HO only where its 2-ohm load is supported and its 6x9-inch convertible format fits.⁶¹³

Rockford Fosgate P2V2-69HO

For filling out a three-way component build

A dedicated midrange driver fills the middle-frequency role in a multi-driver build.¹ Choose Rockford Fosgate P3V2-25 for its 2.5-inch component-midrange format and 75-watt RMS handling rating.¹¹⁴
