Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The Stage3 968MF combines a 6x9" woofer with separate midrange and tweeter elements in a coaxial speaker. Its stated 40Hz–20kHz frequency response covers bass through high-frequency detail, while the Plus One™ cone design is intended to increase effective cone area for added bass output.

For a system that plays R&B, hip-hop, rock, or pop, the combination of bass response, vocal reproduction, and high-frequency detail can help give music a fuller sound. The speakers are rated at 80W RMS, with 640W peak power handling.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

The speakers are designed for standard 6x9" rear-deck or door locations. Check your vehicle’s opening and available clearance before purchase, since fit varies by vehicle. The source describes installation as a drop-in for most vehicles, but fitment is not universal.

A 4-channel amplifier rated at 50–100W RMS per channel at 4 ohms is recommended for best results. The speakers can also be run from a compatible factory head unit. For speaker-wire runs over 6 feet, the supplied guidance recommends 16-gauge or heavier wire. Grilles are not included; use factory grilles or source compatible aftermarket 6x9" grilles separately.
