Indecisive? Buy them!

First impression, good packaging, everything from this site is. Tearing open the box full of packing peanuts reveals the gems. Standard kicker quality, everything basic included to install. If you don't have a mounting solution, you will probably need more screws than provided. (Wire connectors are included) Once installed the system is very powerful, I haven't seen any other speaker with the same power for the price. Paired up with my Kicker 6x9s, they will hurt the ears at high volume without haptic feedback, and provide enough bass to go without a subwoofer, at least for some. 10/10 would buy again, very cheap 3 year warranty is offered, BUY IT it's good if you're constantly playing at high volume. No matter the product, 3 years of hard abuse will have anything worn down. 30 days and the speakers are still running like new. Can't really think of any negatives... Buy it!

meh

Loud and clear sound but when playing something with a lot of bass they pop, and distort like crazy. would recommend to get a crossover to remove base frequencies.

Kicker's name says it all

I bought these along with some 6x9 kickers for the rear. I usually just fade about 70% of the sound to the back because of the acoustics in my car. But when I messed with the eq settings, I have to say these speakers are good. You can run just these and still have that thump that kicker seems to always have. I would recommend these door speakers to anyone.

Pretty Solid Speakers

Great sound, made the mistake of turning them up too loud while i didn't have my back speakers on and blew one of them slightly. But they are great all around, solid bass, clear highs. No complaints!

Great value

These speakers sound great in my S10. I have them pushed by a 65w RMS per channel Kenwood amp. And they get loud and clear and definitely keep up with my 2 10" Memphis subs. Great Speakers!!!

TRUST ME!!

I spent 3 weeks researching 6.5" speakers for my ridgeline truck. I checked various websites and read reviews also watched several youtube videos on different products. I can say that these speakers do what they say they will do. The clarity i have with these speakers met all of my expectations. I have the components also for the front. I did buy an amp to go with this item (diamond300) i got that from my installer even though i had the kicker amp in mind. I have a pioneer nav z120 and all i have to do is turn the volume up to 20 (goes to 40) to rock out!! And just to let you know for the sub in my truck i bought an 8 inch shallow by pioneer which suits all of my bass needs. It will surprise you!!! Im satisfied!

Overall, Kickin'!

These babies doing SO much better than the stock speakers that were in my wifes Camry. But thats to be expected. They have a good thump to them, and decent sonic range and clarity. They are being run off an aftermarket Sony HU with no addl. amp, but respond nicely depending on the source (CD or USB sound best). It was a bit of a challenge fitting these to the front doors of a ' 96 Camry. A little cutting and drilling was necessary, but made it work. I'd recommend them, but not for a novice if it's not a seamless fit.

Excellent mids/highs

Sounds like i wanted. Paired with a pine deck w/o amp right now, won't need an amp if your budgetin.

Overrated

The sound quality coming from these are great. Much better than my stock speakers. however they are way overrated. I'd say these out around 30 watts.. They bottom out very quickly with bass noes which can lead to them getting blown quickly.

So if sound quality is you're thing i'd go for these. If it's loudness then go with something else.

Decent Product

They are decent speakers for the price. Not quite as loud as I wanted.

They were okay

The speakers are good for bass, but if you turn the volume up with a song with deep bass, they will pop like crazy. But overall, they are good speakers for the money.

Great speakers

I got these for my friend to replace his factory speakers and all i can say is they are worth the money. They have great mids and highs but also have a nice bass response.
