Description
6"×8" 2-Way Power Series Coaxial 80W RMS, Carbon Fibre Composite Cone, Aluminium Dome Tweeter, ICC Crossover.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate Power T1682 is a 6"×8" oval 2-way coaxial speaker rated at 80W RMS a high-powered OEM replacement for vehicles with 6"×8" factory speaker positions. The supplier description confirms integrated concealed crossovers and mounting hardware are included; neither an OEM adapter plate nor grilles are referenced in the kit description for this model.
The T1682 uses the Power series construction platform: a carbon fibre and polypropylene injection-moulded composite cone, an aluminium dome tweeter with polyurethane suspension, a butyl rubber surround, and an ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover). Technical specifications impedance, sensitivity, frequency response, mounting depth, and crossover details are not provided in the supplier data.

Features & Benefits
-
80W RMS Power Handling — 80W RMS is confirmed per speaker — a substantial continuous power rating for a 6"×8" oval driver, providing significant headroom for amplified installation with Rockford Fosgate's T-series 4-channel amplifiers.
-
Carbon Fibre and Polypropylene Composite Cone — The injection-moulded composite combines carbon fibre's high stiffness and low mass with polypropylene's moisture resistance — producing a lighter, stiffer diaphragm than standard polypropylene for improved midrange accuracy and transient response.
-
Aluminium Dome Tweeter with Polyurethane Suspension — An aluminium dome tweeter delivers fast, detailed high-frequency output. The polyurethane suspension provides controlled damping — producing refined treble without the metallic resonance that can affect undamped aluminium domes.
-
ICC — Integrated Concealed Crossover — Crossover circuitry built directly into the tweeter assembly, eliminating any external crossover component. Crossover slope and frequency are not confirmed in the supplier data — pull from the official Rockford Fosgate T1682 datasheet.
-
Butyl Rubber Surround — UV and heat-resistant synthetic rubber for long-term durability in Australian vehicle conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles use a 6"×8" oval speaker?
The 6"×8" oval is common in Ford Falcon, Ford Focus, Ford Territory, Mazda 3, Mazda 6, and various other Ford and Mazda platform vehicles. Always confirm your vehicle's speaker format using a vehicle-specific fit guide or the Rockford Fosgate fit guide before purchasing.
Are grilles and an adapter plate included with the T1682?
The supplier description for the T1682 does not reference grilles or an OEM adapter plate — unlike some other Power series models where these are confirmed. Confirm with Rockford Fosgate before purchasing whether grilles and an adapter plate are included in the T1682 kit.
What technical specifications are confirmed for the T1682?
80W RMS power handling, carbon fibre composite cone, aluminium dome tweeter with polyurethane suspension, ICC crossover, butyl rubber surround, and sold as a pair are confirmed. Impedance, sensitivity, frequency response, mounting depth, and crossover specification must be pulled from the official Rockford Fosgate T1682 datasheet before publishing.
Is the T1682 suitable for a standard round 6.5" speaker position?
No — the T1682 is an oval 6"×8" speaker. It is not interchangeable with round 6.5" or 6.75" speaker positions without an adaptor. Confirm your vehicle's speaker format before purchasing.
What is the difference between the T1682's 80W RMS and a peak power figure?
RMS (Root Mean Square) is the sustained continuous power the speaker can safely handle over time — the relevant figure for amplifier matching and long-term operation. Peak power is the brief transient power the speaker can handle during dynamic programme peaks. Always match amplifier output to the speaker's RMS rating, not a peak figure.
