eXcelon Shallow Speaker/Comparison

Check out the XR-S17P shallow-mount package with 1-9/16” mounting depth and 300 Watts of peak power.

The XR-S17P shallow package is one of our best sounding speakers, and it just happens to be our thinnest. With a carbon polypropylene hybrid cone, the XR-S17P has a mounting depth of only 1 9/16”—that’s unheard of at 300W peak power! It also includes a 6x8” plate for use in Ford and Mazda vehicles and a high quality crossover network.

Flush Mount Systems

The KFC-X172 6¾-inch and KFC-X132 5-inch 2-way flush-mount speak- ers and KFC-X692 6X9 3-way speaker system feature very cool design advantages like the carbon polypropylene hybrid. These speakers share the same cast aluminum baskets as component speakers, with shallow mounting depth that allows for easy fit into import vehicles.

The KFC-X1710 is a high performance 2-way system that features the same 6¾” midrange driver, and a spacing adapter is included so the speakers fit in standard 6½” applications.

2-Ohm Drive

The KFC-X1710 and KFC-X1720P are 2-ohm drive, so you’re going to maximize the power output of the full-range amps that drive these speakers. The 2-ohm design will give you more headroom, more dy- namics, and a lot more “loud.” Both models are a great solution for replacing factory speakers, and they make good factory replacement speakers in OEM systems where the speakers are 2 ohm. We strong- ly recommend using external amps on these speakers because a 50 X 4 chip’s not going to cut it.

Notice the tweeter on the KFC-X1710 is suspended in mid air with the bridge support. The dust cap on the midrange driver is a cloth material and is used to tune the midrange driver for best sound quality.

The KFC-X1720P and KFC-X1710 use 2 Ohm drive and serve up 220/270 Watts of power handling. The 2-ohm drive will maximize the power from external amps.
