Agencies slowly knocking down cybersecurity barriers to going mobile
Friday - 2/8/2013, 5:22am EST
"We are hosting it so the platform is secure, it's certified and accredited, and compliant with different federal rules," said Gwynne Kostin, director of the Digital Innovation Center at GSA, in an interview with Federal News Radio after she participated on a panel discussion at the ACT-IAC Executive Management Series on Mobility in Washington. "The other piece about it that's really important, all the themes we are offering on it are all mobile ready. We are actually hoping to help achieve what we are seeing in the federal Digital Strategy and help agencies do that through this platform."
Gwynne Kostin, director, Digital Innovation Center, GSA
"We are just starting it off," she said. "We don't have all the answers yet so as we get clients and folks in the federal sector who are using this system they will be telling us what they need and help us build it out."
The use of the platform is free during the Alpha stage, but GSA is looking at a charge-back model for the future.
"This is a way for people who don't have an open content management system to actually achieve that part of it," Kostin said. "In addition to the tool itself, we have a number of best practices. We have recommendations. There's training and all these other tools that will help them if they are using this sites.usa.gov or looking to migrate within their own platform, we will be able to help them."
Several tools under development
The platform is one of several new tools called for in the Digital Government Strategy and created by the Digital Innovation Center and other agencies.
The center also recently launched a website analytics tool, which is a governmentwide capability to analyze how well agency Web services and mobile services are doing in terms of meeting customer needs.
Under the Digital Government Strategy, which laid out a series of 3-6-and-12-month milestones, the Chief Information Officer's Council released a bring-your-own-device toolkit and a report on the barriers and a gap analysis for mobile devices.
Agencies are working on nine more goals due by May under the Digital Government Strategy, including a governmentwide mobile device management platform and a shared mobile app development program.
The Homeland Security Department last summer drafted a security baseline architecture and now is using this blueprint to develop more in-depth use cases to describe a common approach to securing mobile devices.
Security use cases under review
Margie Graves, the deputy CIO at DHS, said in creating the security baseline, a tiger team interviewed 21 agencies to come up with five mobile use cases.
Margie graves, deputy chief information officer, DHS
Graves clarified what is coming and by when. In March, DHS will publish the use case for moderate security for mobile computing, which would show government-to-government security needs; By May, DHS would publish the playbook to give agencies help with implementing the use case.
There are four other uses cases in the works. Graves declined to offer more details on what they will specifically address.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is leading several security initiatives as well.
Adam Sedgewick, a senior IT policy advisor at NIST, said they are focusing on securing applications as well as the devices.
"NIST has also done some work with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on how to analyze applications using open source analysis tools, to vet the application. We started with Android," Sedgewick said. "This is something that they did with DARPA so that they could vet apps that were going to be used by the warfighter. That work and the proof of concept we did in a portal, we will be turning that into guidelines that will come out later this year that will show agencies the methodology for testing and vetting third-party apps."
NIST also is finalizing several mobile security-related publications, specifically around BYOD and creating trust among devices at the internal chip level.
BYOD still too risky for some
Security remains the biggest obstacle to mobile computing, especially bring-your-own-device (BYOD).
Brad Nix, chief information security officer, USDA Food & Nutrition Service
Nix said the government's aversion to risk was one of the main reasons for the decision to cut out that part of the policy.
"We have a very good mobile policy that is going through the approval process authorities now and we hope it will be published in the not too distant future," he said.
The Food and Nutrition Service set up a program management office to oversee the move to mobile. Additionally, USDA recently awarded Digital Management Inc. a $20 million contract to provide device management, application delivery and secure container technology services.
At DHS, Graves said they are taking four steps to improve security of mobile devices.
She said DHS is implementing an enterprisewide mobile device management application and creating a mobile app store around a process called the "car wash."
"That's not just the store itself, but that's also how do you follow applications through the lifecycle, how do you vet them, how do you make sure they are tested, how do you continuously validate them and make sure you are creating that community of trust where those applications can be exchanged with other government agencies, and sometimes in the case of DHS, we've developed some citizen apps," she said. "That kind of an application is developed for the citizen space, but it has to be tested and validated, and it has to be secured and certified for it to be included in the areas like the Apple iStore. These are the kinds of things we are working through right now."
DHS also is looking at identity management and access control, with an eye toward labeling and tagging the data to better controls who can see what information or access which systems and when.
Graves said DHS is applying this tagging and labeling concept to the screening mission as a test case.

A major goal of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS's) issue management strategy is consistent resolution of compliance issues. This goal appears to have produced a shift in how the IRS Appeals Division settles cases. Some practitioners have noted less flexibility and greater reliance on uniform settlement terms recently — including Appeals Officers coming to the table with settlement terms already defined. To protect their interests, taxpayers should make sure they interact directly with Appeals decision makers. But in this environment, determining who has settlement authority is not as easy as it once was.
In this article, Deloitte discusses Appeals procedures and strategies to include:

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kenwood KFC-P709PS by Buck Pomerantz Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Kenwood's Performance Series speakers deliver the full range of your music with accuracy and warmth. The KFC-P709PS component speaker system includes two 6-3/4" woofers and two 1" dome tweeters, along with in-line crossover networks that simplify installation. Woofer construction Each woofer cone features a Diamond Array pattern that increases the strength of its surface, improving bass response as well as reducing internal vibrations and other distortions. The cone's rubber surround resists weathering and provides reliable support that keeps your music playing, no matter what. The woofers will fit in 6-3/4" and 6-1/2" factory speaker openings. Separate tweeter for superior sound The 1" soft dome tweeter mounts in a separate location closer to your ears, so it can broadcast the high-frequency details more effectively. The in-line crossover network routes the correct frequencies to the woofer and tweeter, so you hear clean, balanced sound.

The woofer basket is designed to fit a standard 4-hole 6-3/4" application. The included adapter rings expand the woofers' compatibility to include the 3-hole 6-3/4" pattern used by GM and Chrysler, the standard 3-hole 6-1/2" pattern, and Ford's 4-hole 6-1/2" pattern. Please check the Crutchfield Vehicle Selector to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. Tweeters Soft Dome Tweeters: The 1" soft dome tweeters offer smooth highs and low distortion. Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters can be flush mounted using the supplied housings and metal retaining-clips. Once installed the tweeters can pivot in the housing, so their angle can be adjusted to obtain a better soundstage. The tweeters can also be top or bottom mounted in a factory tweeter location using the included brackets. The tweeters cannot pivot when installed in the OEM brackets.

Ordered these to replace factory Bose speakers and factory a-pillar tweeters in '05 Suburban. Had to return them because they wouldn't fit the front door openings. I knew the tweeters would be hit-or-miss given the small amount of space on the a-pillar so my comments aren't based on that at all. The speakers didn't line up at all with anything in the door. Tech support was great and facilitated a swap out that got the speakers I'd ordered for the rear doors (fit according to fitment guide but didn't in reality) designated for the front and replacements for the rear shipped out within a couple of days. Rating here is for the service experience as I never got to hear the speakers installed. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great sound Written By Jeff, Petersburg, IL on Monday, October 20, 2014 I installed these in my 2003 Jeep Liberty at the recommendation of a local audio store to replace my OEM front door speakers and dash tweeters. My installation was a bit tricky because my car had the OEM Infinity system with the built in power amps attached to the front speakers. I decided to bypass those amps so the impedance would better match with my new Pioneer head unit. Installation took about 4 hours because I had to 1) go to the hardware store to buy a 5.5 mm nut driver to remove the pillar grab bars to get into the dash to access the tweeters 2) go to the hardware store to find something to make brackets to mount the tweeters in the existing dash cavity 3) trace the existing wires to assure I was making the proper connections. As I installed each speaker I tested it to make sure my connections were right. I got more excited after each test because I noticed vast improvements to my sound. After the final connections were made and everything was buttoned up I was very happy at how crisp and clean everything sounded. The tweeters are crystal clear and really help dial in the highs. The woofers sound fat and when I push the bass up in the EQ they still sound good and tight. I don't have component amps or a subwoofer installed (yet). I'm going to run these a while with my head to decide if, how much and what I need. For my daily driver I quite satisfied with the sound now. Pros: Good instructions, solid construction and great sound quality. Cons: I had to fabricate brackets to mount the tweeters. This isn't really a negative about the speakers, but something to keep in mind. Even though I was replacing OEM dash tweeters, these new tweeters were smaller and were not a direct bolt on. I could have let these tweeters just sit in the cavity, maybe with some foam padding around them, but I preferred a solid mount. I cut some strips of aluminum flashing, bent it and drilled holes for a secure installation. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good Speaker, but Bass is light Written By Jason W, Charlotte, NC on Friday, October 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers based on customer reviews. Overall the quality is certainly better than what I was getting from my stock speakers. The highs are very clear, however I don't get a very rich bass sound from them. That is probably more a result of not having a dedicated subwoofer, so I don't know that it's fair to knock the speaker. For a basic all around good speaker, I think it's a solid choice. Pros: Good overall sounds. You can split out the tweeter and co-locate in a different spot. The highs are very clean and crisp, especially over the factory speakers. Cons: Lacks a little thump on the bass. Would like a richer sound on the lows. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Kenwood KFC-P709PS Written By Nice Sounding, Chattanooga, TN on Tuesday, September 30, 2014 I bought these to replace the factory speakers in my 07 Chevy Cobalt coupe. I am currently running the Kenwood KDC-X497 headunit to go with these speakers and also I bought the KFC-6995PS to go in the rear deck of the car. And soon will buy an amp to run all this. But right now, it sounds great with bass but with an amp would make a difference. Had no problem on install, and it was easy in the Cobalt. Will buy these speakers for my doors again. Pros: Sound great in the car, crisp sound and installation was easy Cons: tweeter had some problems but did find a place to put them. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Sounds Great Written By Terry B, Ohio on Monday, September 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in my 09 Silverado with a Kenwood DNX-891HD head unit, speakers sound much better than factory as expected, more bass than I thought I would get so not going to install sub at this time (sorry Crutchfield). Installed in factory hole with adaptor from Crutchfield flawlessly, very easy to do. Unfortunately the tweeter would not fit inside of the OEM bracket where the factory ones are and did not want them surface mounted in any way or cut holes in my interior plastic so had to use originals. Not sure I would have noticed a difference anyway. Pros: Great sound, very clean and good base Cons: Tweeters would not go in OEM location Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice! Written By Earl, Somewhere, Fl on Monday, June 23, 2014 Well, I bought these speakers for a different reason than most do. I have an 05' Jeep Wrangler with a 6.5" center console woofer (as much bass as you can get out of a 6.5" woofer!). So, I only needed 1 speaker and the tweeters were a bonus. I installed the speaker and it does put a crisp bass sound into the little cab of a 2 door Jeep. So, now I am trying to think of what to do with the tweeters , and I'm saving the other speaker as a back up. I love this speaker! Pros: Crisp sound, good bass note, easy installation.

Great product at a good price.very satisfied 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Tight/Clean sound Written By Rudy G, San Diego,CA on Monday, April 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a '05 Sequoia. Stock 8" JBL's on both front doors were blown out like everybody else's Sequoia and Tundra. I purchased these to replace both front speakers. Crutchfield says these aren't recommended for the front doors, recommends them for the rear doors. Anything you have to put in that front door is going to require you making a bracket to fit any 6.5" speaker. Nothing different here. I made the brackets for both the 8" slot and the mid that is next to it. The tweeters this comes with can't be installed on the top of the door where your existing tweeter is because the cover will not fit if you put these tweeters in. In addition, the crossover that comes with the Kenwood's won't reach if you try and install the tweeters up there. It works perfect if you put the new tweeters in place of the stock mids. (besides, it's probably your wolfer that's blown anyway and your tweeter is fine). These speakers can take anything that the stock JBL head unit can pump out and stays clear and crisp. The bass isn't as deep as the stock 8" wolfers but you can turn it up louder without that feeling that the speaker is going to blow like it did with the stock JBL's. All in all it's a great replacement speaker for the stock JBL system, you will not be let down by Kenwood. They came through and I'm delighted. Oh, I gave these speakers a 4 because making the brackets is kind of a pain. Not difficult, you tube it and you'll be fine. You just won't be able to do it 1 hour. Pros: The sound it gives with the stock JBL head unit is great. Nice and tight bass, crisp highs. Cons: making the bracket to install is kind of a pain. The bass isn't as deep as the stock JBL 8" speaker the sequoia came with, but the bass it does provide is tight and sufficient for this application. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I installed these in the front doors of my 2001 Chevy silverado. The install was quick and easy with the supplied instructions. Installation only took about 30 minutes for both doors.

Good bass and mid range speakers, and they can handle quite a bit of power too. Pros: These speakers have an in line high pass crossover for the tweeters, and they both (6 1/2s and the tweeters) produce some clear sound. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Would have given a 5 but the mounts with the kit would not work in my 2002 Chevy 2500. Would buy again in an instant. The tweeters you can make a hole behind the grill and the mounts that way work great. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 great value Written By Rory, NC on Monday, October 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Could you find better speakers? Sure. But these sound great and they are very reasonably priced. I had to replace the factory speakers because they were all blown when I got the vehicle so I dont have a basis for comparison. But these do exactly what I need and I didnt have to drop $250+ in another component set. And maybe eventually I will get an amplifier or aftermarket reciever and im sure that would make a huge difference.

The 709PS Rear Speakers are a Fantastic compliment to the 509PS Speakers in the front of the car. They Sound Perfect! Kenwood & Crutchfield Rock! Pros: Great Sound with great Depth! Love 'em! Cons: None I can think of! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good quality product Written By Jeff M, Chicago, IL on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers along with the Q-logic kick panel mounts. Great product comes with tweeters, inline crossovers, and the woofers. I appreciate that it comes with almost everything needed for installation minus speaker wire. I prefer this system over a pair of 2 way or 3 way speakers, because it comes with an easy to install crossover which allows me to separate my highs and lows. I hooked these speakers up to a 2 channel 60 watt kenwood amp and they hit really hard. Pros: Quality product Easy to install Cons: Speaker grills can fall off easily. No way to snap them into place. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It took me some time before I was able to find time to install these, but I must say I'm pleased with the sound they produce; much better than the factory speakers. Pros: Ease of installation of the speakers Cons: Lack of installation info on the tweeters. For anyone else attempting to install the speakers and tweeters into the door of a 2001 Chevy Silverado, there is plenty of room for the tweeters you just have to have a small amount of mechanical savvy to do so, as the installation instructions that Kenwood provides lacks a bit. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

If you're on a budget and want a good pair of components for your car, these are it. Pros: Works, great, easy to install crossover, and affordable. Cons: Almost no cons except they're not as loud as my previous JL components, so I can't give em a 5 star. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome component system. Written By 9859limited, Woburn,ma on Wednesday, February 06, 2013 I have two sets of these in my jeep one in front and one in my rear sound bar. Paired with the subwoofer I have and being powered by an alpine ktp-445u they are awesome. Like every one else is stating they lack in the low ranges but that's what the subwoofer is for. I have the high and low pass set at 120Hz and it turns all my friends heads how nice it sounds. Pros: Great price, good quality, nice sound Cons: Poor low range (but that's what subwoofers are for), and the short tweeter wires 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Moving in Stereo Written By goneanddidit, Waco,TX on Monday, November 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far these speakers sound awesome! And They are only being powered by a Kenwood Excelon X496. In a few months I'll be getting a Kenwood KAC 8405, I'll come back and edit this review accordingly. I don't believe it will be a bad review because These speakers are Great! The two things I was disappointed about was there wasn't any 3M double stick tape for attaching the tweeters to my windshield to save from drilling holes in my "A" post. A minor detail that was easily solved and not enough speaker wire for the tweeters; this too was easily solved. Pros: Component speakers allow detailed imaging by having the tweeters separate so you can aim them towards your listening area. Cons: If you need to attach the tweeters to a glass surface the wasn't any double stick tape and limited speaker wire for the tweeters. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent upgrade from OEM speakers Written By Manny Ace, Lemoore, CA on Saturday, June 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to replace the stock speakers at the front doors of my 2007 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Pre-Runner V6. The supplied mounting kit for the 6-3/4" speakers worked well on both doors. The supplied wiring harness could have been a tad longer but I made it work (I had trouble with it at the passenger side door). I had a bit of difficulty installing the tweeters, I had to make a mounting bracket myself in order to install the tweeters in the factory installed tweeter location. When it was time to test the speakers, nothing was coming out until I hooked up the OEM tweeters again. I do not want to mess with the wiring so I kept the OEM tweeters and placed it securely behind the door panel so it will not rattle. These speakers are really an excellent upgrade from the stock speakers. The magnets are huge and the construction of the speakers are outstanding. Even my kids appreciated the great sound difference. It did not take me very long to install theses speakers, thanks to Cructhfield for the Step by step guide and the supplied bracket and wiring harness, that really saved me a bundle. Next upgrade on my list is the receiver and later on amplifier and a sub. Pros: Great component speakers and upgrade for the price. Cons: I still have the original tweeter installed (not Kenwood's fault - most likely Toyota) 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Not a 6 3/4 speaker Written By DaveM, MA on Thursday, June 14, 2012 From my experience, this is absolutely NOT a 6 3/4 speaker, it is a 6.5in speaker. My truck uses 6.75in speakers which these claim to be (the box says "oversized 6.5") but they will not fit my openings and are slightly too small. The supplied adapter rings are useless unless you own a GM or Honda vehicle with special mounting holes. They should include 6.75in holes but they only include an offset 6.5in which is obviously no help since the speakers are already 6.5 in. The mounting holes on the speaker even line up with the holes labeled "6.5in" on the adapter. After milling the ring to have 6.75in countersunk holes, i was able to bolt the speakers in but they then stuck out too much for the door panel to go back on. Be aware, these speakers have a deeper mounting depth than most factory units as well. On the plus side, the are very high quality speakers with a large magnet and solid cone and surround. The tweeters are fine but nothing too special. They do feature a nice swivel mounting cup if you actually use it. The inline crossovers are very handy as opposed to separate ones that must be mounted. However, as such, they don't allow any customization as far as sound level is concerned like a discrete unit would. My only real complaint is that upon a quick installation, they were much quieter than the other cheap aftermarket speakers I had previously. Both are 4Ohm speakers but I guess this can be compensated for in the headunit. Pros: Quality, inline crossover Cons: Mounting options, quiet 7 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 great product Written By MR Breakdown, Plover,WI on Tuesday, May 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to replace the Monsoon system that was in the car, I have to say I am very happy with them. I listen mostly to EDM such as Drum&Bass-Dubstep-House-Electro, and these hold up to the wide range of frequencies in the music. The mid and highs are great, I don't use them for bass as I have a subwoofer installed. But I would imagine they would hold up well. Pros: Very clear sound reproduction for the price Cons: Installation a pain in my Passat(not Kenwoods fault) 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Upgrade Written By Mflippen03, Prescott Valley, AZ on Sunday, April 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these to replace the stock speakers in a Montero Sport, and boy I was surprised by the difference! There was a definite sound quality improvement and everything fit (mostly). Overall I am extremely satisfied with this product and I'm about to buy these again for the rear speakers. The greatest thing is that Crutchfield provided the wiring harness, which made installation completely easy! If you want a thumping bass you'll probably want a subwoofer. Definitely take note on the mounting depth if you're planning on mounting these tweeters in the door panels. The screw on the back of the tweeter is long and will interfere with the inside of the door. On my installation I had to drill a clearance hole for these to fit. Pros: Crutchfield quality parts and service can't be beat! Great Mid-bass and superior highs. Cons: None! Other than the mount of the tweeter mentioned above. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

If you are looking for slappin' bass don't, that is not what these are for... get a sub. IF you are looking for a very good mid-bass with excellent sound then this is it. The clarity is extremely good and is exactly what I was looking for. This was a replacement for my factory mid/bass tweeter speakers and what a huge difference in clarity from the stock stuff. Pros: If you are looking for true clarity in sound then this is the set and excellent for the price point Cons: NONE 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice upgrade from factory units Written By HootMan, Walla Walla, WA on Monday, October 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I went looking for replacements for the factory front door component speakers in a 2007 Chevy Colorado standard cab. The factory speakers had failed twice (replaced once under warranty). Checked out some options at Crutchfield online and then called to ask an advisor which product may be the easiest to install. The advisor was great and very helpful and suggested these Kenwoods. Mounting the woofers took a little planning and required drilling a couple of screw holes for the supplied mounting bracket. They fit perfectly behing the stock door panel. I was able to mount the tweeters in the supplied bracket by removing the factory trim ring and cutting out the grill with a utility knife. The finished install looks as good or better than the factory tweeter. The sound from these speakers is a HUGE improvement from the factory units. The highs are much brighter and the lows much more solid. They would sound even better with a more powerful stereo or power amp but there are hassles involved with changing the stereo units in late model GM vehicles because the warning chimes are through the stereo. I would highly recommend these speakers and Crutchfield to anyone that wants to improve the factory sound and/or replace factory speakers that have failed. Pros: Much better sound than factory speakers. Fairly easy install. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great, especially for price Written By Tyler C, Joliet, IL on Friday, August 12, 2011 First off, you know you're getting a great product when you order anything Kenwood. I have always been a fan. I used these to replace my front speakers. I had 5.25s before, and it said that these would not fit. However, the speakers came with adapters (actually in the speaker box.) I screwed the adapters into the factory location, put in the woofers, and it fit like a dream. Literally couldn't have been easier. I did run into problems with the tweeters, though. They are big and would not fit in my factory tweeter location. I wanted to get them in without having to cut any holes in my door panel, but it wasn't gonna happen. I ended up drilling a hole in the tweeter grill and just mounted them there. The grill comes right off and can be easily replaced, so I didn't ruin the whole door panel. They sound good and get loud. I run them off of a Kenwood head unit, and I'm sure they'd sound better off of an amp. They get loud and sound great, you just have to know how to set your EQ. Otherwise it will distort with lows or get too high with highs. The highs and mids sound great, but there are no lows. But I didn't expect lows..that's why there are subwoofers. Great for the price. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Kenwood always puts out a great product but the only problem with them is that you need more than a stock Dodge Infinity system to power them other than that they sound awesome. Easy fit into the stock locations and the separate tweeters were easy to adapt into the stock tweeter locations. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

They will not give you low bass and don't expect them to. They are solid highs and mids. During the install I found out the tweeters didn't fit in the stock tweeter hole. Instead of trying to rig a frame we just siliconed the tweeter in the stock location. It's basically glued in. I was looking for quality and clarity in the high and mid range. It's exactly what I got. These sound great. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Ordered by mistake! Written By jusjeff, Corinth, MS on Sunday, January 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered these speakers by mistake! I had another brand picked out when browsing before and realized I had ordered wrong when the package arrived. I know Crutchfield would swap if I asked but wanted to give Kenwood a try, needless to try I was not disappointed and saved a little money. 4 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I installed a new system in a 1999 Altima GLE for my son as a replacement to the OEM system. They were installed in the doors along with a Sony CDX-GT540UI receiver and a pair of Sony speakers in the rear. The 6 1/4's fit perfectly in the doors but the tweeters required custom installation to replace the existing tweeters. It turned out very well and they sound great. The lows are more than adequate despite the absence of an external amp and sub-woofer. If you want a quality pair of separates at a great price I recommend the Kenwood KFC-P709PS package. In addition, shortly after purchase, I found the speakers on line at a lower price and Crutchfield matched it. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I installed these in my 2002 Silverado front doors and they made a big difference. The highs are clear and the bass is good but the mids are lacking. I'm still running the stock head unit which may have something to do with that. I mounted the tweeters in the stock brackets by removing the stock tweets and enlarging the hole to accommodate the new ones. The installation looks stock. The wire harness Crutchfield provided made wiring easy with no guess work. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Superb value Written By frankenfried, Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed these in an '02 Civic SI along with a set of Kicker coaxials and 2 Boston Acoustics 8's. The sound from these Kenwoods is surprisingly full for a seperate in this price range. They lack the low end of higher priced seperates, and in my opinion play a little on the bright side, but for the price and the simplified install due to inline crossovers, worth every penny. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a good, clean, reasonably priced 6 1/2 component. Run them with a sub to even out the sound and you'll be satisfied.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good Value Written By Jeff, Kansas on Saturday, March 13, 2010 I just installed these along with their smaller brethren, the P509PS's, in my '01 Neon. The sound produced by these with a decent 4 channel is really breathtaking. They replaced the factory door and dash speakers with a few minor tweaks. The only real problem I ran into with these is the length of wire from the tweeters to the main speakers. It wasn't long enough for the run from the factory dash location to the door speaker. So I ended up just splicing about 5" of wiring into them to get them to reach. Also, it's not really mentioned nor pictured, but the crossover is heatshrinked into the wiring run. Might be an issue for some, but I have been completely happy with these once installed. 27 out of 31 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

PARIS, Feb 16 (Reuters) – France has drawn up a list of 18 countries accused of failing to cooperate on tax issues, and will slap punitive taxes on certain financial transactions involving them, an official document showed on Tuesday.
The document, obtained by Reuters, was signed by Economy Minister Christine Lagarde and Budget Minister Eric Woerth and lists Central American and Asian countries as well as tiny Caribbean and Pacific island nations.
Dated Feb. 12, it does not mention any European countries.
Under a French law passed late last year, a 50 percent tax will be slapped on dividends, interest, royalties and service fees paid by a person based in France to a beneficiary based in one of the listed countries. This will be applied as of March 1. The previous tax was 15 percent.
A 50 percent tax will also be applied to gains from real estate and securities transactions carried out by persons or companies based in the listed places, according to the law.
The full French list includes: Anguilla, Belize, Brunei, Costa Rica, Dominica, Grenada, Guatemala, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Liberia, Montserrat, Nauru, Niue, Panama, Philippines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and Grenadines.

Extend your home network without running wire Today's "smart" TVs, Blu-ray players, and game consoles let you access content from the Internet, but some of them don't come with built-in Wi-Fi®. And depending on your setup, running an Ethernet cable may not be convenient. Channel Master's CM6104 is a great solution — it uses your home's existing electrical wiring to pass Ethernet signals to up to four devices in a single room. This powerline-to-Ethernet kit comes with a single-port powerline-to-Ethernet adapter that plugs into a wall outlet near your modem or router, and a 4-port switch that lets you feed Ethernet signals to your TV, Blu-ray player, gaming system, or computer. The two parts of the system immediately identify and connect with each other, and your wired home network is automatically extended to another room of your home.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Zak Billmeier Staff Writer - Creative, Essential for connected TVs Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 2/19/2013 1:40:00 PM I actually bought this to go with my connected Blu-ray player. The player has a built-in Wi-Fi® radio, like most newer TVs, but I experienced a lot of stuttering when playing streaming files online. The reason: my Wi-Fi router was too far away to provide a fast enough connection to keep up with streaming video. But the CM6104 changed all that. It uses my home's electrical wiring to carry a super-fast Internet signal to my Blu-ray player. Now I can stream Netflix®, watch stuff on Google TV, and even browse the Web with ease. I have tried an online speed test and the connection to my Blu-ray player/TV is now faster than my MacBook®. I cannot recommend this adapter enough to anyone looking to connect a TV to their home network.

A lot easier than installing new wiring and less expensive. Pros: Easy to install and connect. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Channel Master CM6104 Written By TWilson, Frederick MD on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I only wish I had knew about this gadget before I spent too much money on the two TIVO Wireless Adapters. I had purchased for two TIVOs I have. The reception is far better than over a wireless set-up. I have a Marantz SR7007, TIVO, OPPO and a Roku set up on the Channel Master. I wonder if they make one with more Ethernet ports...mine only has 4. Right now, this product fits my equipment needs. Thanks to Crutchfield (can't remember the guy's name) for an excellent suggestion! Pros: Great reception, easy set up, out of the way you plug to your electric outlet near the equipment, the instructions are very clear. Saved me money. The newest AVR Marantz (with built in wifi) is several thousands of dollars compared to the Channel Master which does the same thing for my SR7007 Marantz. Cons: Only has 4 ports. But, not a problem for me. Maybe for other users with lots of equipment that they want to hook up for wifi. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Channel Master CM 6104 Written By Nancy, Springfield, VA on Sunday, February 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Documentation is key Written By SteveC, North Florida on Monday, May 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Once correctly installed the device works exactly as advertised. The 'Quick Start Guide" gives easy instructions for installation and points out that some environments will give better performance than others. I ran into a technical problem with the installation and called Crutchfield for support. They determined the nature of the problem and referred me to the User Manual on the Channel Master site. That solved the problem. Pros: Works exactly as advertised. Cons: Installation may require additional documentation. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Works great, just like it oughta Pros: see above Cons: none 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Can the Ethernet switch plug into a line conditioner such as those sold by Monster, Panamax, and Furman, or will a line conditioner filter out the packets being sent over the power line? [ David Jan 21, 2014 ] 6 answers these cords could help. i will redo my wifi system to get around the need for the product. at a cost less than the product. [ STEVE V Jan 24, 2014 ] The instructions from Channel Master suggest that plugging the unit directly into an outlet is the best method. It also states that you can get "OK" performance if you plug into a noise filtering device. So I think it would be "OK" using a line conditioner. It seems the device's enemy is any AC adapters connected on the same line. Mine is plugged directly into the wall outlet and spaced several rooms apart. It has worked without a single issue. Well worth the money. I suggest you buy it and if it doesn't work return it to Crutchfield. They are great about accommodating returns. [ JACK Jan 22, 2014 ] Hi David, It was recommended to me not to plug it into surge or conditioners and I didn't and it works great. You won't be disappointed. Good luck Mark [ MARK Jan 22, 2014 ] i never used the channel master. after ordering, and doing further research, i determined it would not fit my application. item was returned unopened. [ JAMES R Jan 22, 2014 ] I have this but it's plugged into the wall outlet. I have not used this plugged into a power surge protection device [ STEVEN H Jan 22, 2014 ] From the Channel Master manual: Avoid connecting this device to an un-interruptible power supply (UPS) or backup power supply device. For best results, we recommend connecting the adaptors directly to a wall outlet. Avoid connecting high power-consumption appliances to the same wall outlet. Plug these power consuming devices into a noise filtering power strip to prevent these devices from interfering with this Powerline device.

Connecting the cheese
Wonderful things have happened since the word about The Cheese Map came out. I've gotten in touch with cheese enthusiasts from all over the world, and already learned a lot more about strange and exotic cheeses I hadn't heard of before. Doing a Kickstarter turns out to be a great way to reach out to other people with your ideas. Cheese schools have contacted me and asked me if I want to collaborate with them or teach classes on the overlap between food and art. I've gotten the feedback I needed to take this work further.
Through Twitter I've gotten in touch with enthusiastic cheese bloggers. We've shared jokes and cheese facts, and one of them even got back to me after a couple of days with a map of New Zealand he had made out of electron microscope photos of a local blue cheese. He told me I had inspired him to make it, so now I even have a NZ ambassador that inspires me back.
I also reached out to Mike Geno, a talented artist that paints portraits of cheese. He was recently featured in The New York Times for his work, and this is how I got to know him. We obviously share the passion for cheese, but we also realized that we have the same mission about discovering cultures through food, even if the modes of expression are different. As he was heads down with new commissions lately and I am wrapping up my spring semester, we agreed to meet sometime over the summer to talk more about each others work. Looking forward to it.
Oh, and I also have to mention the awesome cheese hat I got from one of my backers. That made my day!

Cal U, California, PA (south of Pittsburgh)
Cal U (California University of Pennsylvania) is located on 294 acres in the borough of California, Pa., just 35 miles south of Pittsburgh on the banks of the Monongahela River.
California, PA on the Monongahela River
A Quaker influenced by Hinduism might say "there is that of God in every river" and here in the Monongahela valley the river has always been the flowing life force, feeding, transporting and nurturing inhabitants.
Hindus hold all rivers sacred, and no place more sacred than the place two rivers come together, a "confluence" in English. Confluence, PA is a nearby town on the Youghigheny River (say "yawk-a-gay-nee" or just say "the Yock" to sound like a native), which has its own confluence with Monongahela a few miles downstream from California, PA. The "Mon," honored as Pennsylvania's River of the Year for 2013, flows northwards towards one of the most significant confluences in America, the city of the three rivers, Pittsburgh, PA. Thus is California, although in Pennsylvania, a western town; whatever you put in the river here flows to the Mississippi.
The Monongahela and nearby rivers and the mountain streams wind through the scenic Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania.

Just add water. Not.
One thing that confused me before coming to Korea, is the method of extraction using Kono or Hario drip(V60) method. Every single video I saw, no on used scales or timers. So since coming to Korea, I've drank aloooot of manual drip filter coffees.
I'm writing this post because I'm at a point where it kind of annoys me(personally) after finding out how they extract coffee. It is the method of 'Just add water'.
Back in London, the coffee to water ratio varies between 60~65g/Litre, this is my personal preference. So, for 1 cup brew, I used 15grams of coffee and 240g of water and extraction time of 2:15sec and I do stir.
In Seoul, I'm seeing baristas weighing coffees with spoon, which is supposed to be 7g per scoop, using alot of coffee for one extraction and no timer or scales being used.
The weird thing is at the end, they add water to the coffee and dilute it heavily, and Korean people(not all but some) are calling this the 'Korean style'.
I've asked several baristas the ratios they use, the most used method was this:
Coffee: 25~30g
Water: 150g
Time: Unknow
Grind: Very coarse(Near french press)
Water temp: 85~90C
So, with that method, the brew ratio becomes 183.33g/Litre, this is way out of charts, though people say we shouldn't rely on 50 year old data, the method above doesn't really make sense. The end product you get out of it is dark, syrupy, heavily underextracted brew, so what do they do to it?
They add around 100g of water to it and dilute it, and it tastes like watery vitamin drink.
It's like, you extract a ristretto and add some water and call it double shot espresso. Yes, it might be the same weight as a double shot of espresso but it isn't the same drink because double shot of espresso and diluted espresso is made differently. Double shot of espresso(if extracted correctly) tastes good because it has the balance between the sour and the bitter. First part of extraction is very sour because there are much more soluble solids present than water. Extraction occuring at the end is very watery and bitter. Balance between these produces a drink which is not sour nor bitter. If you add water to ristretto, yes, you will resuced the TDS% but EXT% won't change.
Let me emphasis again, majority of coffee I've drank was Kenyan or COE coffees. So why do this to these coffees? Majority of answers I got was
1. Because they don't like the bitter aftertaste
2. Because Kenyan and COE coffees have delicate and bright acidity, thus extraction should be cut when the coffee has reached it peak in terms of acidity, then dilute it to loosen the flavor.
3. Cup of Excellence coffees have very clean aftertaste with nice acidity, so to express that in the cup, they cut the extraction in the first minute and dilute it to make it taste 'Clean'.
I have no right as a coffee person to tell people its wrong, If they think its how it should be done, ok its fair, they've bought the greens and roasted and extracted it. But I just think they should look at other variables which affect the quality, flavor,sweetness,aroma,acidity, bitterness and balance of the cup.
Yes, Kenyan coffees have lovely acidity so do COE coffees, coffee people love acidity, and are very sensitive about bitterness. They should be going backwards to seek out the problem why coffee tastes bitter and bland, not seeking ways to emphasis the acidity by underextracting and diluting it.
Such as:
1. Roast profile, isit roasted correctly? Isit too dark ?
2. Method of extraction, can the barista justify why he/she is extracting that way, experimenting with different method? Do you use scales? Timers?
3. Crop, isit a past crop? Is the green too old? Can you check what the year of the crop is?
4. Grind setting and burrs, isit time to change the burrs? is the grind setting correct? Isit time to clean the burrs?
5. Water, isit filtered well? Have you check the ppm of the water you are using?
I know I sound like a little child winging at what other people do, but honestly, it really doesn't taste good, nd people are paying alot of money to drink it.
It is painful to watch all these good beans being diluted down, without showing its full potential in the cup, I really do hope people start to experiment with brew ratio, brew method and new roast file and let the beans speak for it self, not that first syrupy, underextracted liquid added to water.
Just add water?
Food for thought.
