Kenwood eXcelon XR-1701 6-1/2" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers (Pair)

The Kenwood eXcelon XR-1701 is a premium 6-1/2" 2-way coaxial car speaker pair built for clean detail, strong midbass response, and high-resolution playback. Designed as part of the eXcelon Reference line, these speakers use a glass fiber woofer and oversized titanium hard dome tweeter to deliver a more refined sound than entry-level factory replacements.

With 100 watts RMS power handling per pair, 300 watts peak power, 3-ohm impedance, and a wide frequency range, the XR-1701 is a strong fit for upgraded factory systems and amplified aftermarket installs where output and clarity both matter.
