Good sound but not loud with head unit
They have really awesome sound, but arent as loud as I imagined and my back speakers really just over power them

Good Value
For the Price that it is, its a good value. But If you have more money i would consider something more powerful. But don't get me wrong, these will still hurt your ears.

Nother awesome product from kicker
I put these in my bada** ford ranger to replace the paper stock ones. They're crazy loud and have good lows. I'd recommend them to anyone I reckon

Good speakers for the price.
These speakers are very high quality at a very low price. I would recommend running them in some kind of small enclosure or use a baffle behind the speaker if running them in a door or rear deck. They do not like large amounts of air space. Also, they really excel when fun off of an aftermarket amplifier where you can really dial in the crossovers. All in all they are a great value.

Good speakers
I purchased these for the rear door of my silverado pick up. I have been pleased with the sound quality so far from these speakers, especially since they are being driven from a clarion head unit only. Much better rear fill than the stock speakers and would recommend them to any who wants a solid inexpensive upgrade over stock. Features and ease of use are rated 3 stars because let's face it they are speakers. Hook up and go.

Z3 Kick Panels
Replaced blown out 2 ohm Harmon Kardon kick panel speakers in a BMW Z3. Perfect fit.

Great speakers for the price
I have these kickers installed in a 1998 Kenworth road tractor. I have them running off of a JVC head unit. They sound great! I have upgraded over stock and will be adding an amp, so they should have a bit deeper bass. I like the fact that i can hear the full range of music over the drone of the engine and exhaust of my truck. As a bonus, bluetooth calls sound stunning in my truck with these speakers.

rich sounding speakers
Compared to the factory speakers in the sound bar of my Jeep these speakers sound far better than the originals. Great range...

very nice
1988 e30 BMW 325i.
fits all 4 OEM locations perfectly...with BMW grills and covers so strangers cannot tell they are upgraded, and they are an upgrade. Had them for 35 days now, tried them in the front, now the rear shelf.
I have always had a full system in at least one of my cars, and these compare to much more expensive brands.
Factory BMW speakers are good, but these are very easy to power up from a stock radio (just upgraded to Alpine CD/ MP3) and even with the bass turn up all the way, these speakers can handle it and sound like i have an amplifier.
Really, i cannot hear the wind over the sound while doing 60mph with the windows down.
From AC/DC to Zeppelin, to a sweet violin, they perform well.
The BMW wires plug right in. same size, and everything
for the price, these are great.
i dont know why the surround is shaped like it is, but i prefer smoother (no real reflection to quality of this speaker)
they (the surrounds) do feel and look more durable then others, but only time will tell...and really, how long does any surround last ?
the mere fact i can fit these while using BMW speaker covers are just perfect for me...i don't want to add any more attraction to my car for breakins and i enjoy the benefits
i like the fact they don't need an amplifier to make them sound good, and they have good subtle bass and still bright highs, (metallica, zeppelin no-quarter, etc) the frequencies and db ratings brought me to try them...
experience will bring me to buy another set to replace the other 2 speakers,,
bottom line.
for the size, and price of these, i am more than content..i am pleasently surprised.
its proof, good things come in small packages..i bet the larger series are even better and would fit them but im not cutting any new holes (yet)

Great sound
These speakers sound great and for a great price. I would recommend these speakers for anyone looking to upgrade their existing OEM speakers. WAY better than stock. Sonic is a great company to order from. Great service.

alright
They are nowhere near the best I have heard. They went in easy with the small harness that helps extend the factory speaker wires if you have to cut a connector off. I installed them in a friends car and he thought they sounded ok so they are staying in. I probably would have left them in my car too since it always sucks having to return something even with a good company like sonic. You gota put the door panel back on, go to the post office to return the product, order something else, wait for that to come in, and then install that.

Amazing
I have these in the doors of my car. I blew my back speakers already so all of the sound is coming from these Kickers and it still sounds amazing. Everyone comments my system and it is all from these 2 speakers and my subs. VERY GOOD and very durable. My music is always turned way up and they still sound great.

Love Sonic Electronix
these speakers sound great and can take the heat.
i'm running them with an 800 watt Hifonics amplifier and they have lasted for a good while at high volumes of playing.

Good Speaker for the Price
You can not beat the sound these speakers produce for the price you pay for them. I installed them in my truck and used the stock stereo to power them. 100% better than the stock speakers.

great
I have these along with the kicker ds693 6x9s they sound great i can crank them all the way up and they are still clear as a bell. Have a kicker cvx 12 sub and a hifonics 1000.1d mono amp it all sounds amazing in my 2001 dodge ram pickup. Would recommend to anyone who wants good quality.

Best bang for your buck.
Great sound quality, low power consumption. Only complaint is the woofer material separated from the base and I had to re-glue it.

Solid, don't let the size fool you.
When I first looked at them and the holes in my door they had to fill, I was very underwhelmed. However, they nearly blow those same doors off compared to the factory pioneers that were in my car.

great speaks
Had these almost a month, and have excellent bass from my Alpine head unit (pushing 17watts per channel). These also fit perfectly in an E30 (BMW). The highs are superb, and I have to turn down the treble.
The stock speaker wires plug perfectly into the speakers, without any need for cutting or crimping new ends. Installed and tested inside 20 minutes for the rear deck lid, and about 10 minutes for the front kick panels.
Also, these speakers fit with the stock (OEM, BMW) speaker grills, so it will look like factory speakers to the world (who may want to steal them), but they are much better. BTW, the factory BMW speakers are really good, and it's hard to find good replacements for them).

Toyota 4 Runner speakers
I guess finding a speaker that fits in the door of a Toyota 4 Runner is difficult. Major modification to get these speakers to mount in the factory holes. Unless you have lots of time and tools don't try this. Can you say adapter kit? Maybe someday.

nice speakers
I bought 2 sets of these speakers and mounted them in a fairing for Harley and I must say they sound great and look good. I have been very happy with the quality and would recommend them. I'm sure you can spend a lot more money for better speakers but I don't think you can find a better sounding speaker for what I paid for these

Awsome Speakers
Nice mid and low bass. Shallow mount too to fit doors so that windows still roll and up and down without hitting speaker magnet. Nice sound reproduction.

Great speakers, especially for the price. For their size they really hit. I bought the Kicker DS5250 off of this site, and these are great... A great deal.

awesome speakers
i notice a lot of bad/neutral reviews because of fitment, but if your installing speakers, why is it a big deal to drill a couple new holes? i went from 4" speakers to these 5-1/4" which required cutting a bigger hole and drilling more holes but it was well worth it and not hard by any means. awesome speakers with great highs, mids, and mediocre lows. but how could you expect lows from a speaker in a door littered with holes. i recommend these things to everybody!

They are ok..
I would have rather spent a little more and gotten the JL audio C2 525x. These's are pretty decent speakers way better then any stock.
