It was my sons eighteenth birthday and my husband and I surprised him with a brand new car. It had all the bells and whistles. My son, David was so excited he jumped right in and I in the passenger seat and we went to take a ride to the Catskills. Beautiful mountainous region in south eastern New York state.

As we were driving, David decided to try out his new downloaded music on iTunes. We were at a good speed going about 50mph with the windows down and the breath of Spring air. It was heaven. David liked the car and the way it rode, but he didn’t like the sound system. 

He said it was just a factory speaker and the sound quality wasn’t that good. At first I thought David was being a bit picky, but once I listened to it, I understood what he meant. We went shopping for a new sound system and after much effort and research we discovered that Rockford R168X2 was the best choice for quality and price. In facet, this is one of the best 6×8 speakers on the market. If you need other size then you can also read our review of The 5 Best 5.25 Speakers.

Here are some of the Features:

1.Full Range Coaxial Speaker

When you purchase a brand new vehicle, the speakers which are installed are from the factory and do not provide an exceptional sound quality experience. Full Range Coaxial Speakers provide a better audio experience due to the audio frequencies that are available in a single unit.

Picture yourself driving and stopped at a red light. Your favorite song is on the radio and you crank it up. The bass sound is at its max and you can feel the vibrations. Your speakers have reached the maximum unit of frequency range and the speakers make a crackling sound.The car beside you have their speakers on to the max and you can hear the car booming. The factory speakers you have are mid size and they are not built for a high dynamic range. Full range coaxial speakers will change the way you experience sound.

2.Nominal Impedance

This is a technical term that defines the electric current or circuit. For instance take a look at an antennae. The higher the ohms, the better the sound quality will be. For instance 4 ohm is great quality and Rockford R168X2 speakers offers this as high as 8 ohm.Electrical charges to Resistance.

It is similar to a radio frequency antennae. If you have heard of radio waves than you will know that he stronger the electric current, the stronger the sound and distance it will travel via transmitters.

When you listen to music, there are many different frequencies playing at the same time. With a clear Nominal Impedance, you get a clear and sharp frequency.Every note and every song will be crystal clear.

3.Rubber Surround

There are 2 types of material for mounting your speakers. They are foam or rubber. Rubber lasts longer and foam,even though slightly cheaper, can deteriorate much quicker. When the foam does deteriorate it will effect the sound of the bass and overall quality of top of the line speakers.

With rubber you will have a much more satisfying sound experience and performance level.Foam can rot over time and has to be replaced where Rubber Surround will be effective from the day it’s put in to the day you purchase a new car in years to come.Spend money now and save in the long run with Rubber surround speakers.
