Upgrade Your Factory Audio

If music is an important part of your life, then your car speakers should be too. The DS Series speakers by Kicker are a true phenomenon for the car audio industry. They are able to produce incredibly clear audio with little amounts of power. You can pair these speakers to almost any source unit such as a factory head-unit, aftermarket stereo or an amplifier. These speakers have heavy duty voice coils in order to withstand high temperatures. The dome tweeter design will produce a soft, warm, high-frequency sound that seamlessly blends with the mid-level sounds of the main driver. Look no further, because the Kicker DS40's are the perfect solution for upgrading the audio in your vehicle.

1 speaker defective

1 of the 2 speakers ordered had a bad solder job from the factory on the center cone. I just unmounted it from the kick panel and re soldered it . Sounds awesome now. Kicker has always gave me a quality product before ,hope it was just a 1 in a million chance I got this one.

Can take a pounding

I was worried about the RMS power handling of this speaker but it was all I could afford and I needed a 4". I am frankly amazed at the performance and have since gone 100% KICKER! 2 12" comp subs, 2 6X9's factory rear deck, these 2 4" in the factory door and two 5.25" the foot kick panels in a BMW 328is. The sound is unbelievable for the amount of money I spent. This little 4 is being driven at 2 ohms at around 75 watts rms. It throws the cone out like a woofer and handles it like a pro! I love Kicker they give so much product for the money!

Kicker DS40

Great speakers! They have a good bass response for just being a 4" speaker. They sound great. I have a bass blocker on these @300 hz and they sound great with the system!

Kicker 11DS40: Solid!

I was replacing the speakers in my wifes car which is a 94 corrolla. All 4 stock speakers needed to be replace. I bought some 6.5" Sony xplods from Best Buy for the rear. Put them in and they sounded OK. I couldn't find any speakers at a decent price for the front though. Shopped at local stores a settled on a pair of Renegade 4" speakers. They sucked. Period. Biggest problem was that they don't get loud. So looked online and found a great deal on Sonic Electronix for a pair of Kickers. The price was right and the shipping was free.

Long story short, they are FAR superior and they are loud - at least compared to the Renegade speakers. Definitely would recommend.
