Kicker KS Series

Does a serious factory upgrade, with more muscle at an affordable price, sound too good to be true? What it sounds like are some of the loudest, clearest coaxials ever hidden behind a door on under a back deck.

Give factory sound a serious power injection with a KS-Series Coaxial Speaker upgrade. With added improvements on the woofers and tweaked tweeters, dropping them in where factory speakers were seems like a no-brainer. The curvilinear, gray woofer cones, Santoprene surround, and newly designed basket give KS Coaxials the extra brawn to deliver a smooth, rich sound at any volume.

The Kaladex-domed tweeters contain a stout neodymium magnet dipped in ferrofluid for maximum coolness, recreating highs that rival live performance. Give your system the upgrade that it deserves with Kicker KS!

Note: Kicker describes this model as a 6" speaker size; however, most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-1/2" speaker. To clarify and simplify comparison's to other products, we list it as a 6-1/2" set of speakers.

Speaker Features:
  • 6" KS Series Car Speakers
  • Power Handling:
    • Peak: 390 watts per pair / 195 watts each
    • RMS: 130 watts per pair / 65 watts each

Wow

Replaced speakers from my Subaru Outback with McIntosh sound system which cost $3500. I thought that this McIntsoh was the tightest car stereo I'd ever heard. Was worried - but the Kickers KS600 are even better than the Macs. Couldn't believe my ears. Don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.

thumbs up

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These are some of the best coaxials out there for 75 bucks. The highs are a tad tingy but thats not nessasarilly bad, just depends on personal preference, overall great speaker and a greater value.

Awsome Sound

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought one pair of Kicker KS60 for my 1973 Nova. They sound awesome for Rock and Roll music. They really thump the bass on classic rock/Heavy Metal. I would recommend these speakers to all my friends. They have Awesome Sound.

Fitting

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

First I'd like to say Sonic is my favorite source for car audio and knowledge. However, according to them this speaker will not fit my 1998 Dodge Durango. I just put these into my Dodge this weekend without any modifications. Just thought they should know.

Good Product for replacing or upgrading speakers

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I purchased the KS series to replace my Gfs DS 6x9 in her rear deck. There's just something that about round speakers that i like more than having the oval shape. anyways they sound crisp and clear for being kicker.

Kicker 11KS60

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I thought it would be a better product overall, to me it seems to neglect audio quality. When pushed to louder volumes it does lack performance as well.

Great Speakers

The following review is for 11KS60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Over all these speakers are great they look nice and sound great. The speakers have good bass to them and voice. They make my car mirrors shake. The best thing is that I got a discount on them so that's a plus.
