Kicker KS Series

Does a serious factory upgrade, with more muscle at an affordable price, sound too good to be true? What it sounds like are some of the loudest, clearest coaxials ever hidden behind a door on under a back deck.

Give factory sound a serious power injection with a KS-Series Coaxial Speaker upgrade. With added improvements on the woofers and tweaked tweeters, dropping them in where factory speakers were seems like a no-brainer. The curvilinear, gray woofer cones, Santoprene surround, and newly designed basket give KS Coaxials the extra brawn to deliver a smooth, rich sound at any volume.

The Kaladex-domed tweeters contain a stout neodymium magnet dipped in ferrofluid for maximum coolness, recreating highs that rival live performance. Give your system the upgrade that it deserves with Kicker KS!

I needed a set of 6 x9 's that would fit in my rear speakers. There is not much clearance in the Mitsubishi Galant I have so the only speaker that would fit is the Kicker's. Unbelievable. They sound awesome. I used my old Soundstream d100 2 channel amp and bridged it for mono to use as a subwoofer with my JBL 10 INCH. Then I tried a new amp by a company called audiopipe. 4 channel amp. Only was $125 for the audiopipe. I added sony door speakers up front, and for a modest price upgrade the sound is incredible. I have an old Pioneer head cd unit and my friend is in from California and he heard the system and was blown away. He said it is the best sound system he ever heard in a car. He told me his friend paid about $2000 for a system and it sounded like garbage. Morale of the story, keep any good audio components you have when you get rid of the car & eventually get & upgrade when you need new system and you will sound better & save money. The kickers were a very pleasant surprise. And they sound good with all types of music. Jazz, rock, big band music, pop. Get them . They sound great even at loud levels.

These are probably one of the hardest hitting speakers I've heard, I got mine running off of a Pioneer headunit alone and they sounded good. I just wish they were louder, don't get me wrong there loud as hell but there's room for improvement, also when turned up loud when it hits, the sound quality gets distorted but overall good speaker.

When I first got these speakers I didn't have them hooked up to an amp and they sounded good but I was hoping the sounded better but then a few weeks ago. I hooked them up to a dual 300 watt amp and WOW!!! I was amazed by the difference! I had the biggest smile on my face when I heard them with the amp! They sound great hooked up to an amp they took all the power. no distortion at all, the bass is good! If you want subs these will give you some bump! My rear view mirror shakes! They definitely live up to the name KICKER because they do for sure KICK! Now of course you're not going to be heard from miles away but they are loud! I would recommend to anyone!
