Customer Ratings & Reviews

For those seeking a significant audio enhancement in an older vehicle, such as my 2004 GMC Envoy SLT, these speakers present an excellent value. The sound quality is markedly superior to the factory speakers, and they have proven remarkably durable over eight months of consistent use, even under demanding conditions. Installation Experience: I chose to directly solder the speakers to the factory wiring to expedite the installation process. While this bypassed the need to wait for an adapter kit, it did require extra labor. For a cleaner and faster installation, I strongly recommend ordering the vehicle-specific adapter kit. This would transform the 20-minute soldering task into a simple 5-minute clip-in procedure. Pros: Exceptional Sound for the Price: Provides a noticeable improvement in audio quality compared to stock speakers, particularly when paired with an aftermarket amplifier. Durable Construction: These speakers have endured eight months of use while maintaining excellent sound performance. Relatively Straightforward Installation (Even Without Adapters): Removing door panels and replacing speakers is a simple process. Amplifier Pairing: An aftermarket amplifier unlocks the full potential of these speakers for the best possible sound quality Cons: Soldering May Be Required (Without Adapter Kit): Soldering skills or the correct adapter kit are essential to avoid cutting and splicing wires. Adapter Kit Recommended for a Streamlined Installation: Without the kit, soldering is necessary, which can be time-consuming. Overall: These speakers are a worthwhile upgrade if you possess basic car audio installation skills or are prepared to purchase the adapter kit. The sound quality is impressive for their price, and their durability is commendable. Despite my less patient installation, which took longer than it would have with the adapter kit, I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I would readily purchase these speakers again. For the best results, especially when using them with the factory radio, consider adding an aftermarket amplifier. Recommendation: If you are comfortable with minor modifications (or patient enough to wait for the adapter kit), I highly recommend purchasing these speakers!

The car audio team at Best Buy in Columbus, IN was very helpful and seemed to do very good work. Now about these speakers...expect to be disenchanted when they are installed, especially if you also added new tweeters. You are going to hear a lot of treble and hardly any bass. The team didn't advise me about this factor, so I was disappointed...like, congrats, you are the father of a beautiful baby tin-radio. In fact, the team started to recommend that I get a small bass booster later on. But on the way home, as I listened to music, the bass began to fill out a little at a time. Then it hit me: Break-in period. In an hour, the music was bordering on "plenty of bass." This process is continuing now, to the point that I may have to adjust my EQ again. Most audio equipment needs the break in period to sound its best. You may believe in car speaker break-in or you may not, but give these speakers a few days to loosen up before judging their fullness and bass. Otherwise, you'll get stressed and buy stuff you don't need. You'll hear the missing frequencies within hours, and your frown will turn upside down. No matter what new speakers you are getting, prepare for that initial "meh" quality. Same thing applies to new audio cables you may use to connect your device to the system. Good things come to those who wait...have faith, lay back, and burn baby burn.

It’s a mid-quality speaker. You get what you pay for. Didn’t spend a lot of money on this. Speakers have little to no bass in them. Sound clarity/quality is good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge upgrade from stock speakers I recently installed Kicker CS Series speakers in my car, and the difference compared to the factory speakers is night and day. The sound is much clearer, vocals are crisp, and the bass is noticeably stronger even without a subwoofer. Music sounds fuller and louder without distortion at higher volumes. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid for the price. These speakers handle different genres really well — from hip-hop to rock — and they don’t sound tinny like a lot of stock systems do. Even running them off the factory head unit, they perform great, and I can already tell they’ll sound even better once I add an amp. For anyone looking for an affordable but noticeable audio upgrade, the Kicker CS Series speakers are 100% worth it. Great sound, great value, and exactly what I was hoping for.

I bought these to upgrade my stock speakers in my Subaru Wilderness Outback ( non-Harman Kardon edition). Though they are not magical forgive me for being an audiophile snob, I will say that they sound full and strong. Even when driven at high volume they do not exhibit a hint of distortion. They maintain musical balance and are very clear. I would certainly recommend them to anyone willing to spend the $. Kudos to Victor for a fine installation.

These kicker speakers really changed my audio dynamic in my 2022 WRX. They have enough bass on deep notes and enough range for high hats. For the price its a pretty quality 3way mid speaker. Id recommend to a friend if trying to install something quality and budget friendly.

This is honestly my 2nd time buying these speakers. They are actually so good and great quality/sound and especially for the price, it’s crazy. I first bought them about a year and half ago to put them in my 2016 Nissan Sentra, and they sounded sooo good and made a huge difference. And now I am buying them again, but instead for my girlfriends car since she wants some better speakers, and these fit perfectly and there’s really nothing that can beat this price/quality ratio, like I said it’s actually crazy good. Don’t sleep on these speakers, if you’re wondering if they are good, take it from the car guy. These are great quality and you’re not gonna get a better price no where else.

Best speakers for the price. Money well spent. Great sound. Easy to install. Instructions were easy to read.

When I was shopping for speakers to upgrade my stock system, I researched for several months and visited many audio retail shops around my town. I finally decided on these speakers, beating out JL audio C1 series. The reason being that the value is excellent for the sound quality. These speakers are less expensive than the JL’s and produce a bit more bass. The high frequency of the kickers are about the same as the JL’s however, the kickers really won in the lower end frequency. A much richer and deeper listening experience in my opinion. The Kickers are packaged with all the wiring and connectors you’ll need for a quick swap. My first time doing it alone on a 2017 Tahoe and it took about 45 minutes for the first rear door and about 15 minutes for the second door once I got the hang of it. I recommend using some kind of sound deadening material around the door frame to prevent rattling. These speakers are much more robust than factory and can cause the door to make unwanted noises from vibrations.

The sounds quality is of the charts best sounds I've heard I love this speakers, very clean. Perfect volume max. I would recommend this to all my friends and family. The bass is so perfect and over excellent. It was an easy installation and quick.

Highs and mids sounds amazing and the are definitely throw out more bass then stock speakers

excellent frame stiffness, and easy mounting. The sound is an outstanding balance, you might still want a sub if you are looking for deep bass. The bass it does cover is very tight and balanced, so you can tell what is being played, not fuzzy or boomy.

The speakers fit great on mu truck and sound amazing. I wasnt expecting such improvement

Just put these in a 72 Chevy truck to replace where the previous owner put some 5.25 speakers in the kick panels. These replaced some 30+ year old Clarion speakers that were decent for their age. Couldn’t get good sound at freeway speeds... now I get them clear as day. These are good mid-priced speakers. Wired directly to an older Kenwood unit 40x4, no amp. These are the only 2 speakers in my truck right now. Not bad sound at all. Treble: 8 out of 10 stars... clear sound Mid: 9 out of 10... very good Bass: 9 of 10... you don’t get much bass out of a 5.25 2-way, but I’m rating these based on the LACK OF DISTORTION you get when bass frequencies come through at louder volumes, like you do in a lot of speakers. These speakers have a pretty good crossover. If you’re getting these to add to a system, these would be good to save you some money from some premiums that sound a hair better. Hopefully these last for a good while.

These are great mid-range(tone) speakers that are top quality for a good price. For their size, they sound great. They definitely have more range than the stock speakers. And Kicker equipment is developed in Stillwater, OK. Being from Oklahoma myself, that's another big draw to the company. I won't get lesser speakers ever again. These are worth waiting for if you are saving up for speakers.

Speakers sound great and the install took less time than estimated. Great service and the price was less than they originally estimated. Couldn't be happier!

Solid speakers for sure. Ample bass, great highs. I like the detail that these speakers create, and I also like that you can faintly see the tweeters through the factory speaker grilles. Much better than other brands' 6.5" speakers.

Excellent sound for the price. Was in pinch and needed something affordable. Was beyond impressed with the quality for the price. Getting them installed was a breeze

Sound great and they fit great also had to get the brackets so they could fit perfectly in my car

These speakers sound great in my car. I’ve installed this with a Ford channel and and boy are the meds and highs just sound wonderful and complement the bass just right
