Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


The R165X3 is a 3-way speaker with a pole-mounted tweeter that protrudes 0.44" above the mounting flange. If it hits your factory grille, use a 1/8" or 1/4" foam gasket or spacer to sink the speaker slightly deeper into the door cavity.
Rockford designed the "multi-OEM" frame to fit many cars, but some (like Honda/Toyota) still need an adapter bracket. If no holes align, use the included speed clips on the door metal to create a new, secure threaded point for the screws.
This is common with the R165X3's 91dB sensitivity. Factory speakers are often 2-ohm and ultra-efficient. To fix the volume gap, adjust your radio’s "Fade" to send more power to these speakers or add a small 45W RMS amplifier.
Check for an "infinite baffle" issue. If there is a gap between the speaker frame and the door metal, bass waves cancel out. Ensure you use the included foam tape to create a 100% airtight seal around the mounting circumference.
These are 6.5" speakers with a 52Hz limit. If your radio is pushing deep sub-bass to them, they will "bottom out." Solution: Turn on the "High Pass Filter" (HPF) on your radio and set it to 80Hz to protect the speakers and clean up the sound.
This often happens if the mounting surface is uneven, causing the stamped steel basket to "twist" and pull the voice coil out of alignment. Loosen the mounting screws slightly to see if the noise stops; if it does, shim the mounting surface.
Rockford Fosgate uses a standard sizing: the wider terminal is Positive (+), and the narrower terminal is Negative (-). Using a vehicle-specific wiring harness (like Metra 72-series) will ensure you don't have to guess or cut wires.
Yes. If your car has a factory fabric shelf or "parcel shelf" cover, you don't need the Rockford grilles. Just ensure the moving parts of the 3-way tweeter don't touch the underside of the factory shelf material.

full mids and highs

These three ways are solid, especially for the price. Mids and highs are perfect, not too pingy like mbquarts, but still full. I have yet to get distortion at high volumes so I feel they would do well in a component/amped set up. Cant comment on there low end response but specs say they can go pretty low. Packaging was protective and they came with plenty of speaker wire and mounting brackets. Overall awesome for any set up. I would recommend to anyone looking for full range door speakers.

Great Value

These were replacement speakers for a 1997 Chrysler Sebring LXi. Great speakers for a Great price. One would be a fool to not, at least, give these people (Sonic Electronix) a look.

The brand name for the price sold it for me!

I have worked with Rockford Fosgate equipment before. It is really top notch stuff. When I saw that these speakers were listed for the price, I couldn't stop myself from buying them. The Rockford equipment I've worked with before has amazing sound, great quality, very durable, and has great range. These speakers are no different. They have a range that's a bit on the high side compared to my stock speakers. This actually worked out for me because my stock speakers had a lower range which made the bass a bit overzealous. Couldn't have bought a better set of speakers.

Great product, awesome sound for the price!

I was looking for replacement front speakers for my car and got these because of the price. Had them installed and they exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Rockford if you're on a budget and want a good quality speaker.

Clear mids and highs

after a couple of months waiting to get a new set of speakers to go in the rear doors of my truck these Rockford fosgate R1s match the set up front and fill the cab with rich clear highs and mids but not the low end part but that's what subwoofers are for
