Kenwood KFC835C 3.5-Inch Round Car Speaker System

I have a 1987 LeBaron,it’s like new but the audio was fried. I purchased a Kenwood eXelon head unit and matching 6+9s for the rear deck and 5 1/2s for the doors .Also a 10” exelon sub for a custom enclosure in trunk. The factory installed 3.5” speakers in the dash to be used as tweeters. Kenwood doesn't make a 3.5" in the eXelon series but I wanted to keep things the same brand so I figured I'd give these a try. I'm glad I did. They truly sound great in this application and the slightly lower wattage matches the deck perfectly. I did have to do a very little dremel work in the dash opening to get the speaker basket to fit, but just a sliver. All seven Kenwood speakers went in with minimal work and left the car looking totally stock. Myself I really dislike the butchered up look some system installations result in, aftermarket grills & the like. I was so pleased with this system I purchased a similar Kenwood system & installed it in my wifes Maxima .again, no appearance of modifications. I have to be honest I’m extremely pleased with the quality and features of both the speakers & deck considering the price. I'm certain this won't be my last KW purchase as I have several cars & trucks that are in need of a audio upgrade. Just for the record I was in no way encouraged to post this review , just pleased with the product. By the way , if your installing the 3.5"s upright in the dash, I strongly suggest placing a felt or linen guard over the top to keep debris from falling in & causing issues. I found some felt at a craft store, applied some 5 minute epoxy to the rim of the speaker.There is a raised lip on the frame of the speakers that’s perfect to attach a protective cove .It will also help keep the sunlight from deteriorating the speaker cones too. Update; August 2018. Both systems still going strong with firmware updates.

They came in handy! For perfectly in my ‘83 Chevy Malibu- easy to install. Sounds perfect. Totally worth and would recommend! I’d also purchase again.

Great sound with easy install. For FJ owners, you can use these in the front dash. Cut off the factory plug from existing speakers and wire onto these. You will need to remove the bracket and place these on the brackets mounting holes. Also must remove the plastic shroud that's attached to the grate cover over the dash speaker/tweeter.

These speaker have four stars worth of sound; really nice but not completely spectacular. I have a 1984 diesel Volkswagen Rabbit and it's almost impossible to fit speakers into the dash cutouts; these are about they only good 3.5 inch speakers that actually fit. When I cut just a little metal away for the speaker terminals, these just went in. With a pretty big amp and really nice pair of 6X9's in the back providing most of the sound, these fill in very nicely, especially once I get the 7 band equalizer set properly. The equalizer is not a must, but a front to rear fader is. With just that and a good setup in the back, it will sound REALLY good. At about 20 watts RMS, they move ALOT, so I'm assuming that if they were in a good cabinet, they would even have decent bass all by themselves considering what they are.

Wanted to upgrade my front dash speakers in my 87 Buick Grand National and these seem to be the only 3.5 inch speakers that are flush and not with a protruding tweeter. I tried the Pioneer TS-A878 but the dash panel would not install back flush so I had to return them and get the Kenwood. These little guys really do the trick and vocals and highs sound really crisp and detailed. Of course way better than the original 40 year old Delco's that were there. Just realize you are not going to get deep bass out of any 3.5 inch speaker these are for basically adding that detail and vocal presence needed up front to create a full soundstage. If you go in knowing that's what to expect these are exactly what's needed and I'm impressed.

Just got my speakers and installed. Out of the box, one of the speakers were blown. Very unhappy. Do not recommend buying.

Installed into the dash of a 2006 Grand Cherokee. Very easy plug n play with an adapter cable. Sound quality is awesome. An amazing and cheap upgrade for a car that had crackly front speakers. Now I can crank my radio up 😎

Good sound, fair price

Great upgrade for Mazda cx5 dashboard speakers. Sounds great, nice highs and nice tight fit. 40 watts max so no need for external amps.

Great sound. Easy to install for someone who isn't overly mechanically inclined like myself.

Bought to replace 40 year old alpine aftermarket speakers. Easy install but the connectors were a little hard to push on. I have them hooked up to a 600w amp and are loud enough for me. Seem clear just hoping they last many years.

Installed in my 09 grand caravan amazing sound, very clear I love them.

Bought these to add to the rear of my Suburban. The sound quality is great!
