Nice upgrade from factory units |

I went looking for replacements for the factory front door component speakers in a 2007 Chevy Colorado standard cab. The factory speakers had failed twice (replaced once under warranty). Checked out some options at Crutchfield online and then called to ask an advisor which product may be the easiest to install. The advisor was great and very helpful and suggested these Kenwoods.
Mounting the woofers took a little planning and required drilling a couple of screw holes for the supplied mounting bracket. They fit perfectly behing the stock door panel.
I was able to mount the tweeters in the supplied bracket by removing the factory trim ring and cutting out the grill with a utility knife. The finished install looks as good or better than the factory tweeter.
The sound from these speakers is a HUGE improvement from the factory units. The highs are much brighter and the lows much more solid. They would sound even better with a more powerful stereo or power amp but there are hassles involved with changing the stereo units in late model GM vehicles because the warning chimes are through the stereo.
I would highly recommend these speakers and Crutchfield to anyone that wants to improve the factory sound and/or replace factory speakers that have failed.

First off, you know you're getting a great product when you order anything Kenwood. I have always been a fan. I used these to replace my front speakers. I had 5.25s before, and it said that these would not fit. However, the speakers came with adapters (actually in the speaker box.) I screwed the adapters into the factory location, put in the woofers, and it fit like a dream. Literally couldn't have been easier. I did run into problems with the tweeters, though. They are big and would not fit in my factory tweeter location. I wanted to get them in without having to cut any holes in my door panel, but it wasn't gonna happen. I ended up drilling a hole in the tweeter grill and just mounted them there. The grill comes right off and can be easily replaced, so I didn't ruin the whole door panel. They sound good and get loud. I run them off of a Kenwood head unit, and I'm sure they'd sound better off of an amp. They get loud and sound great, you just have to know how to set your EQ. Otherwise it will distort with lows or get too high with highs. The highs and mids sound great, but there are no lows. But I didn't expect lows..that's why there are subwoofers. Great for the price.

Great speakers. Kenwood always puts out a great product but the only problem
with them is that you need more than a stock Dodge Infinity system to power them
other than that they sound awesome. Easy fit into the stock locations and the
separate tweeters were easy to adapt into the stock tweeter locations.

These speakers perform well. They will not give you low bass and don't expect
them to. They are solid highs and mids.
During the install I found out the tweeters didn't fit in the stock tweeter hole.
Instead of trying to rig a frame we just siliconed the tweeter in the stock location.
It's basically glued in.
I was looking for quality and clarity in the high and mid range. It's exactly what I
got. These sound great.

I ordered these speakers by mistake! I had another brand picked out when browsing before
and realized I had ordered wrong when the package arrived. I know Crutchfield would swap
if I asked but wanted to give Kenwood a try, needless to try I was not disappointed and
saved a little money.
