Kenwood designed their marine speakers to bring power and precision to your boat's sound system. Designed specifically for marine use, Kenwood KFC-1653MRW 6-1/2" speakers feature water-resistant cone woofers and 1" balanced dome tweeters. Feed them up to 50 watts RMS (150 peak), and they'll sound great whether you're out on the water or relaxing at the marina.
Woofer
The woofers use water-resistant cones with Santoprene rubber surround.
Ready to rock the boat

Balanced Dome Tweeter
Each speaker features a 1.0" balanced dome PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) tweeter; PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.

The Kenwood KFC-1653MRW was a great choice for us. Nice bass, mid & high ranges. Easy install. Looks good.
The only flaw is that the face plate must be aligned with the screw holes. This means that you cannot rotate the faceplate, independently from the screw holes. When using existing screw holes from prior speakers, the faceplate with the Kenwood name may be crooked. The solution is to drill new screw holes or live with a crooked faceplate. However, even that won't work if, like in my situation, the existing speaker wires that connect to the speaker are too short to run to the bottom of the Kenwood (where the two power terminals are located). The existing speaker wires barely made it out from the cutout. Hence, extending them by cutting and splicing additional wire would have meant a lot of extra disassembly to get to the wire from behind the bulkhead. As a result, I installed the speaker upside down. A rotating faceplate would have allowed me to rotate the faceplate so the Kenwood name was properly oriented. Nevertheless, these Kenwoods sound just as good upside down!
