Kenwood KFC-6998RS RS Series 6x9" 5-Way Full Range Speakers
Turn your factory sound system into a full-range audio upgrade. The Kenwood KFC-6998RS RS Series 6x9" 5-way speakers are engineered to deliver powerful output, extended high-frequency detail, and strong midbass response in a direct-fit OEM replacement size for many vehicles.
Built as one of the most advanced models in Kenwood’s RS lineup, these speakers use a multi-driver design to create a wide, immersive sound experience with impressive clarity across the entire frequency range.
Multi-layer sound performance
At the core of the KFC-6998RS is a 6x9 polypropylene woofer cone with a diamond-array pattern, designed to increase rigidity and reduce distortion. This helps deliver tighter bass response and cleaner mids, even at higher listening levels.
A 1-3/4" balanced dome tweeter handles upper frequencies with smooth detail, while multiple ceramic super tweeters extend high-frequency response for added sparkle and airiness in vocals and instruments. The result is a highly detailed, full-spectrum sound signature.
Wide soundstage with advanced tuning
Kenwood’s RS Series technologies work together to enhance the listening experience:
-
Sound Field Enhancer improves sound dispersion for a wider, more open stereo image
-
Acoustic Sound Harmonizer smooths frequency transitions for more natural tonal balance
- Optimized tweeter placement helps maintain OEM-fit installation while expanding perceived soundstage
These features help the KFC-6998RS sound larger than its physical size, especially in rear deck or large door applications.
Built for power and durability
With a 150W RMS (720W peak per pair) power rating, these speakers are designed to handle both factory head units and aftermarket amplification. A stamped steel basket, rubber surround, and heat-managed motor structure ensure long-term durability under daily use and high-output conditions.
