Pros: Can handle obscene amounts of power. Crystal clear at all volumes.
Cons: Small wires supplied. Trim ring can come loose. Not 3-way?
The Bottom Line: Try these speakers out. They may be hard to find, but check ebay. Well worth the trouble and cost.

| ti2ibal1's Full Review: Kenwood KFC-X688C Car Tweeter |
Car:
1996 Ford Thunderbird
System:
Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X859 Headunit
Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X688C 6x8's
Precision Power PCX-480 4-Channel amp
Precision Power PCX-1500 Mono amp
(1) 10" Kicker S10L7 in a sealed box
Clifford RSX 3.5 Alarm w/ remote start ;-)
All wiring and install work done by Ryan and I.
I'm not gonna go into depth with all the specs on these speakers. What I am gonna do is tell you is that I could not have found a better speaker to compliment the power that my PPI puts out. The SQ of these things is incredible! They are RMS rated at 55 watts. As you may know, PPI amps are slightly underated. I had my amp benchtested at a local electronis shop. Turns out that its putting out 89 watts per channel. These things scream with no clipping or distortion at all.
As far as build quality, I would have to give them a 8 out of 10. During the install, one of the trim rings came loose. I noticed that Kenwood used 2 little drops of glue to hold it on. Seems pretty cheap in my opinion. I reglued it and have had no problems since.
The speakers come packaged with everything you should need to install them in your Ford/Mazda vehicle. Although if your anything like me and run new speaker wire to your doors, you may want to not use the included clips and wires. They are 24ga. wire. I opted to crimp my own ends on my 16ga. speaker wire.
Hope this helps you to decide what you want.
