Kenwood Excelon KFC-X2C | eXcelon Series 2-3/4" Custom Fit Midrange Speakers
The Kenwood Excelon KFC-X2C is widely considered the industry's best solution for vehicle-specific dash speaker replacements. Designed as a high-performance midrange "mid-high" driver, these speakers are specifically engineered to fit the unique 2-3/4" dash openings found in many Chevrolet, Toyota, and Dodge vehicles. As part of the prestigious eXcelon line, they offer a massive step up in clarity and vocal presence compared to standard factory drivers.
Product Highlights
-
Acrylic Carbon Hybrid Cone: The diaphragm is constructed from a specialized hybrid material that is both incredibly light and rigid. This ensures a fast transient response, allowing the speaker to reproduce vocals and instruments with lifelike accuracy and zero "muddy" resonance.
-
True Mid-High Performance: Unlike full-range speakers that struggle with low-end excursion, the KFC-X2C is optimized for the 800 Hz to 20,000 Hz range. This focus allows it to deliver a rich, direct soundstage that lifts the music from your floorboards to your dashboard.
-
Hassle-Free OEM Fitment: These speakers are a direct "drop-in" upgrade for many popular vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado/Tahoe, Toyota Tacoma/Tundra, and Dodge Caliber. They are designed to use factory mounting points for a clean, professional installation.
-
In-Line Crossover Networks: Each pair comes with integrated high-pass filters (-6dB/oct at 850Hz). These crossovers protect the small drivers from damaging low frequencies, ensuring they only play the notes they were designed to handle.
Key Features
-
Shallow Mounting Design: With a top-mount depth of just 1-5/16 inches, these speakers can fit into the tightest dash cavities where traditional aftermarket 3.5" speakers often fail to clear.
-
Cloth Surround: The woofer utilizes a durable cloth surround that provides the necessary flexibility for high-frequency precision while maintaining the long-term reliability required in harsh automotive environments.
-
Ferrite Magnet Motor: A high-energy ferrite magnet assembly (50x18mm) provides the driving force needed to maintain 50W RMS power handling, which is significantly higher than most factory dash speakers.
-
2-Year Warranty: As an eXcelon product, these speakers are backed by Kenwood’s extended 2-year warranty, reflecting their superior build quality and performance standards.

What Others Are Saying
Eddie was great - SDCS installed a new head unit in my 2019 4Runner. He was honest in his opinions regarding the options I was considering. Pricing was also good - he was able to reuse some of my existing installation kit so I saved a bit of $$.Installation was clean and fast and he took the time to walk through the features before I left. Highly recommend!!
I had a great time at this shop! The staff really knows their stuff and took the time to explain the different options without pressure. Installation was quick, clean and professional. Everything looks factory and sounds amazing. The prices were fair and customer service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality car audio and excellent service.
Those guys are really professional! I had a new Alpine floating head unit installed in my 2008 Mercedes, and it feels like a brand-new car. The installation was super clean. At first, the sound wasn’t the same as the factory stereo, but Kevin tuned it to be just as good—if not better—without adding any new amps. They even used my factory GPS antenna so I don’t have extra wires hanging out. On top of that, they matched the online price. Big thanks to Kevin and Eddie—highly recommended!
Kevin was awesome, he took his time and explained everything to me. I went in initially for a dash cam install and then decided to get a sub and amp installed as well. Both turned out great and will be returning if I need more work done.
Came In not knowing what to expect when suddenly my stereo stopped working. Spoke with Kevin in the front and after a VERY fast diagnosing they discovered my wiring was incorrect. After only about 45 minutes total being in the store I was on my way to the beach with a working stereo again! Thank you so much SDCARSTEREO
Highly recommend Kevin and the team at San Diego Car Stereo for any issues with aftermarket stereos. I bought a car with an aftermarket stereo and AC unit that wasn’t working properly—specifically, the heat wasn’t functioning due to an improper setup. I had several people look at it with no luck, and even the dealership basically refused to help because it was an aftermarket install. I came to Kevin and his team over the holidays feeling pretty defeated, but he was confident he could get the heat working before I headed back to a Colorado winter. Sure enough, he got it done.
