got them in to day

Love them. Got them paired up with some alpines 6.5 in front on a crunch 1200 x 4 amp and a set of kicker ds 6.5 in back with 2 p2d410 on a p500 x 2 in a vw golf. One of the best set ups i have done.

Great replacements

I live in Oklahoma so I decided to support Kicker who is from Oklahoma. I bought these as a replacement for my Dodge Neon and they sound great. the cleanest sounding 3.5 i have ever heard.

Can't go wrong with these!

If anyone is looking for 3.5 car speakers, look no further! The kicker Ds35 sound great and just what I was looking for for my 89' Ford Mustang LX. They just barely fit in my front dash and the quality is excellent, plus for the money you're spending on to buy these little bad boys it's definitely worth it.

Well balanced

I used these for dash speakers in my new '13 KIA Optima to replace a pair of pathetic paper cone tweeters in a system that could not produce any satisfying volume levels. As I have 6 1/2" door speakers, I put a 600hz cutoff on these which helps them blend very nicely. First, these play much louder than the stock units. More importantly, these speakers do not color the music in any way and in test after test, the clarity and lack of over attenuation in any frequency range is refreshing. I can now hear the singers taking their breaths and the fingers of a guitarist sliding on the strings. Sonic did a great job with their pricing and service and I will be ordering the 6 3/4" Kickers soon for my front doors. The stock head unit has good power and you can't beat Kickers for solid performance and I can't wait to reinforce the bottom end with some clean thump.

WOW

This speaker is absolutely amazing. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO put a bass filter on these if you want to experience the true potential of these speakers! These speakers scream and when you have the bass and mids to go with these speakers you have the perfect setup!! These speakers SCREAM there is not need for tweeters, these will overpower your tweeters! REMEMBER BASS FILTER!!

Great for first system!

Bought these to put in my son's car, which had dash speaker openings but came with the speaker delete option (you're going to install your own anyway, so save the $$$). Went all Kicker speakers with the DS35s in the dash, DS60s in the doors, DS69s in the rear shelf, and C10 subs in the trunk. All from Sonic, all arrived in 1.5 days (always order from Sonic!). Perfect fit, no cutting or drilling of the dash. These are good enough with power from the HU, but amplify them and watch them come alive! Active high-pass crossover at 250 Hz and they are bright without sounding like Infinitys. Pushing 35W RMS without issue, but I wouldn't feed them more anyway. Excellent value for my son's first system.

Clarity and loudness on a budget!!

I installed these in place of my old stock JBL speakers, and what a difference! I have these hooked up to a Sony CDX-GT650UI and it puts out 17 RMS per channel and since these are 15 RMS each, it's an almost perfect set up for a non-amplified set of high toned speakers!

My head unit goes up to 50 in volume. I tried turning it all the way up to see where I would start getting any sort of distortion, and I just kept turning, but there was NONE!

I hooked up my iPod (and we all know the music is louder on our iPods than the radio) and blasted it with "Cracks" remix by Flux Pavillion (BEST song to test your highs) and still NO distortion! But it did leave me with my ears feeling like they were bleeding.

Bottom line, these are the perfect speakers to get for your high tones. They are louder than any other high rated speakers that you're going to be running on just a head unit because these will be running at peak performance. They are a great deal, CLEAR as a sunny day and absolutely know how to take a beating (no distortion)!

I'd get them again... and again and again!

Good sound for the price

I needed to replace the front speakers in my "93" Olds Cutlass Ciera as the originals were buzzing and had pretty much turned to dust. I read the reviews on the Kicker DS35's and decided to go with them based on the price. I'm very satisfied with my choice as they sound better than I expected, certainly good enough.

Great speaker for its size and value

Needed to replace stock 3.5 in the dash of my van. These speakers sound great. Not too bright and good mid sounding response. They create good staging and image considering the mounting locations. I would recommend these for any dash mount application.

Kicker speakers

I purchased these speakers to replace the speakers in my dash in my 89 Suburban. These speakers are good speakers, but I made the mistake by not having crossovers on them. They cannot take bass. So if purchased, use crossovers. Overall good speakers for the price. I would recommend this product.

Great Speaker

This speaker is a good speaker use it for a stock replacement on my 82 mustang restoration project. The speaker does not handle bass very well when i bought this product I also got a pair of 133 uf bass blockers and they work good with these speakers at lower volumes. I listen to my music loud tho and the louder I put the volume the bass become just to much I would go with 99 uf bass blocker if you plan to have the music turned up.
