Our KNW2017, bracketed dual dash mount speaker consists of two, Kenwood 3.5" speakers that are mounted on a board that has a bracket attached to it to give you stereo sound from the original, mono location. The bracket is designed to allow you to mount the speaker in a vehicle that either came with a bracket originally or does not have studs behind the dash for speaker mounting. This KNW2017 dual dash mount speaker is designed to act like your original speaker, but provide better sound. The KNW2017 dual dash mount speaker has two, 4 ohm speakers and is designed to work with our modern, replacement radios. If you have an original 8 or 10 ohm radio, you may still use this speaker, but you will have to wire it in series and may or may not have to add an inline resistor. Please be careful when using with an original mono radio as improper wiring may fry your original, 8 or 10 ohm radio.
Standard vs. Kenwood Excelon Speakers
We recommend upgrading to the Kenwood Excelon speakers. The standard Kenwood speakers that are used in this speaker will work, but there is nothing speical about them. However, for a litlte bit extra, the Excelon speakers just sound better. The Excelon line is Kenwood's top-of-the-line offering and these speakers
will work directly off of the radio and will sound even better if you add an amplifier.
