More about the product
The Kenwood KFC-PS1396 is a premium 5.25-inch 2-way car speaker designed to deliver clear, dynamic sound for everyday driving. Built with Kenwood’s Performance Series engineering, this speaker combines quality materials and smart design to enhance audio without requiring complex upgrades.
The KFC-PS1396 features a polypropylene woofer cone reinforced with a diamond array pattern. This design improves rigidity and reduces distortion, resulting in accurate midrange and bass performance. The cone is paired with a rubber surround that helps maintain stability during high-volume playback, ensuring consistent sound quality over time.
For high frequencies, the speaker uses a balanced dome tweeter made from polyetherimide (PEI). This material provides smooth, detailed treble without harshness, making vocals and instruments sound natural. The tweeter is integrated into the speaker frame for easy installation and a clean look.
With a peak power handling of 320 watts and a rated power of 47 watts RMS, the KFC-PS1396 offers strong output for its size. It is designed to work well with factory head units or aftermarket amplifiers, giving flexibility for different setups. The sensitivity rating of 85 dB ensures efficient performance even with moderate power sources.
The speaker’s shallow mounting depth makes it suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including those with limited space in the doors or panels. It uses a standard 4-ohm impedance, which is compatible with most car audio systems.
While the KFC-PS1396 delivers impressive clarity and balance, it is not intended for extreme bass enthusiasts. For those seeking deep low-end impact, pairing these speakers with a dedicated subwoofer is recommended. However, for everyday listening, they provide a noticeable upgrade over factory speakers with crisp highs and controlled mids.
Kenwood’s attention to detail ensures durability and reliability. The materials resist heat and moisture, making them ideal for the demanding environment inside a car. Installation is straightforward, and the included hardware supports a secure fit.
The Kenwood KFC-PS1396 is a solid choice for anyone looking to improve sound quality without overcomplicating the system. It combines refined audio performance with practical design, making it a dependable upgrade for most vehicles.
