pretty nice

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

i have these in my 98 jeep grand cherokee limited and yea they are really nice they have a suprising amount of bass for bein only 6 1/2's and they have really loud highs they could almost be misktaken for a component set but yea like the other guy said distortion is a concern at high volumes but only if u have the bass up on them if ur gonna turn it up loud turn down the bass and they will get pretty dam loud so yea i highly recomend these speakers if u have subs but even if u dont have subs i still recomend these speakers jus dont use them for bass

Great Speakers!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Sonic Electronix, easy company to deal with. Item arrived fine and nicely protected.

The speakers. awesome. treble. - not so much bass, but the sub takes up for what they lack.
I would highly recommend these speakers.

(side note) small rattle from the grill that sits over the top of speakers. loc tite fixed in 2 seconds.

Great Speakers!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

So i finally bit the bullet and put these speakers in my car. I had been looking at them for a while and finally went for it. They are amazing! They replaced my stock factory speakers and wow... huge difference. Seriously, i never realized just how much aftermarket speakers help until i put these in. They are loud and clear. They produce a really clean sound. Plus the installation was easy.

I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone.

Kicker KS650, sounds great!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I installed these in my Express G3500 van 6 months ago when the stock paper ones finally failed. Much better! Needless to say, there is no comparison between stock and Kicker. Kicker is way better

excelent

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I just got a set of these to replace my stock ones in my 02 lancer. the sound quality is amazing and the clarity of the highs is ridiculous. even though there's a coaxial the bass is also substantial. very good speakers for the money

Okay

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed these a few days ago up front in a mid size sedan. Like the other guys said..capable of getting SUPER loud at low bass. But its pretty hard to get a song with a beat bumpin loud. Super easy to install though. Kicker is a good company.

Great clarity!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed in 2000 Blazer with minumum effort. Sizing a littler off but with some minor modifications worked nicely. Will buy again for other after-market installs.

Great Deal

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I had factory speakers in my 2001 truck. My son has been driving lately, blew the speakers. Had the Kicker KS650 installed about four months ago. Huge difference in the sound, no distortion, I like a lot of base for Heavy metal music, sounds KICKER. I only replaced the front speakers, but probably going to replace the back speakers as well, same brand, no doubt.

Good sound

I have a set of these in the rear doors of my car. They have ok sound but I think the 08 version is better sounding. (I have a set in the front.) They are also 5 bucks cheaper

Amazing!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

i ordered 2 sets of these for my jeep and they sound amazing! they're amped with a kicker 4 chanel amp and they withstand a serious beating. iv never had an issue where they wernt clear or crackled i have all kicker equipment in my car from cvx 15's to the ks650's and they compliment each other very nicely...a definate buy and well worth the money!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

just bought these and some cvts.... couldnt ask for anything better... and for you guys that talk about distortion trying to put a lot of bass through these is going to make them distort that's why i have a high pass filter that i have cutting off the bass frequencies below 80 hz

pretty good, but not the best you can do (for under $100)

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I was looking at 6.5" speakers for my old honda civic and trying to find a satisfactory pair for under $100. I tried out several pair in the 50-100 range, including sony, eclipse, pioneer, infinity, jensen, alpine, etc.

I stumbled upon the kicker brand by accident as they had the KS6850 in a display/demo board at one of the stores I visited. I thought they sounded great and were able to take more volume without distorting. then I realized they had an open box sale on a pair for $30 off.

once I got them home and installed them, I was pleased (for the price I paid). they do have excellent clarity and highs and the bass is substantial for a 6.5. they have a pretty wide frequency range of 43Hz to 21000 Khz. A lot of 6.5s can't go lower than about 50 Hz on the low end. my only (minor) complaint is that these are rated for 65 watts RMS, my stereo puts out 50 watts RMS, and yet I can make the speakers distort/start to flap with bass if I turn the head unit up loud enough.

oh, and the grills for the speakers are terribly ugly :)

but hey- overall, I think these are a great buy. don't think I coulda done much better for $75.

Great bang for the buck.

I made a custom speaker box with these capping a bass tube with two 6X9's in the middle with a fosgate amplifier powering the pair behind the seat of my old S-10 and I have to say they sounded amazing. Great depth for the size and the tweeters are downright unbelievable, and near indestructible, for that matter. I Would definitely suggest a pair of these for anyone.

replaced door speakers in Dodge 1500

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Speakers are good for the money, but they show how badly I need to upgrade my rear side panel and front dash speakers along with the POS aftermarket head unit.

These speakers have got to be the best sounding 6 1/2's I have ever had,well worth the cash! The highs are crystal clear w/no distortion and the bass is incredible. Surely live up to the name!

Great Speakers

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed these in my 02 blazer. They sound pretty good. They hit the low notes really well. But distortion is a concern when turned up loud. Overall i wish i went with somethin else in this price range but ill have to live with these for now.

Extraordinary!

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These speakers stand by the Kicker name all the way. Excellent highs and pounding, low bass. The only downfall is that these cannot put out too much power. Just one set will shake mirrors like a low watt subwoofer, but pop when given too much headunit power. Regardless, these are the way to go for a low budget system.

best 6.5's

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Solid bass for the size, easy installation, fantastic mid-range. No distortion at high volume- they get LOUD too.

good speakers if you know the diference between rms and peak

The following review is for 08KS650, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

this head unit does not put out 50 watts rms, it puts out 50 watts peak. typical rms output for a deck is 18-22 watts rms, read the manual. Of course your speakers will distort at high volumes when you're not running an external amp. Good head unit, though.

Great for the Price

I have these in the doors of my 1997 Escort, and they sound great for the price you pay. With deadened doors, they have good midbass and crisp highs. Def. recommend these.

Good speakers for the price

These speakers are great if you have no subwoofer. They give off good bass even from my factory head unit, can't wait to install my new one so it sounds even better! The sound is crisp and it I have heard no distortion at all. Powered with an amp or a head unit these will sound even more amazing. They are 65 RMS, look at that not the max.

WOW! BUY THESE!

These speakers are great, no better than great. If you want better than great sound quality with all the Highs and every drop of the lows, this is the package for you. I have always been a fan of Kicker and they are the only brand i buy for car audio! Try their SUBS, their great, also!

sweet speakers

i just received 4 of these from sonic today and installed them in about an hour and they are great sounding and sweet looking in my ride. crisp and clear highs and midrange, and good bass too, no crackling or anything, and the RMS is 65 watts! the only difficulty was getting the grill to fit in my jetta's door panel but it works. real good deal!

I bought these speakers and put them in my 2000 altima AND THEY SOUND SO GREAT. I highly recommend them to anyone with a tight budget. To hear the true performance put in Night Ranger-"Don't tell me you love me."

i got 4 of these in my car and it sounds so much better. i started with heavy subs so you couldn't hear anything else besides bass. but once i got these things in everything became clearer.

i approve!

Running these in my front doors off of the stock head unit, they sound great! These produce much more bass and have very crisp highs as compared to the stock component setup (yes, as in 6 speaker sound). Soon I will buy an amp for these, plan to be giving them 50w each... I can't imagine how much better yet they'll sound then!
