Speakers and Subs

Kenwood speakers are solid performers without the premium brand price tag.

Component sets give you separate tweeters and woofers for better sound staging, while coaxial options are perfect for straightforward factory speaker replacements.

The build quality is good – polypropylene cones, rubber surrounds, and decent magnets that’ll handle New Zealand roads without falling apart. Power handling is realistic (not inflated like some brands), and they sound good on factory head units or after market amps.

Kenwood subwoofers range from 8-inch models that fit under seats to 12-inch subs for proper bass. They’re not the loudest on the market, but they’re musical, controlled, and deliver bass that complements your music rather than just rattling teeth. Most work fine in sealed or ported boxes, giving you flexibility with install options.

Rapid Radio handles the full speaker installation including door deadening, custom sub boxes, and proper wiring.
