Kicker

Why replace your factory speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Our take on the Kicker KS65

by Jo Greene

You put some good bass in your car, but now your speakers just aren't hanging with your subs. Kicker designed their KS Series speakers to deliver the performance you need to bring that "live music" experience to your ride.

The KS65 6-3/4" 2-way speakers use heavy-duty polypropylene cones supported by Santoprene rubber surrounds. These speakers can handle high-level playback without straining, especially when they're powered by an outboard amplifier. Each speaker sports a titanium 3/4" dome tweeter that broadcasts plenty of high-frequency sparkle, so you'll hear all the sonic details that make your tunes exciting.

Highlights:

  • 2-way 6-3/4" speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer cone with Santoprene™ surround
  • 3/4" titanium dome tweeter
  • power range: 6-65 watts RMS (195 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 40-21,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 90 dB
  • top-mount depth: 2-1/8"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Grilles: The KS65s come with graphite-colored, plastic, spoke-style speaker grilles.

    Kicker KS65

    Written By David, Raleigh, NC on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I have a 98 2-Dr. Tahoe. With only (2) doors I needed speakers that would produce good bass because the only other speakers in the Tahoe are (2) 4 x 10's in rear upper deck that produce minimal bass but add enough highs & mids to balance the sound. Rep recommended these speakers and I'm glad he did. These speakers produce very good bass for their size and the highs, mids are good. The Tahoe's original design has the main speaker separate from the tweeter. Upon installing the Kicker speakers I tried them with the factory tweeter hooked up and unhooked. To my ears leaving the factory tweeters hooked up produced a slightly better sound quality for the highs. If your application is 6 1/2's and you want good bass...these are your speakers.

    Terrible as a drop-in replacement for OEM 6x9s in a 4Runner

    Written By MikeB, Boise, Id on Wednesday, July 11, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These poor speakers never had a chance. The door design in my 2004 4Runner is such that the front of the OEM speaker is sealed against the back of the interior door panel to provide front to back separation. Crutchfield's mounting kit works great to mount the speaker in the metal frame of the door but it leaves a large gap between the front of the speaker and the interior door panel. Because of this there is heavy low frequency cancellation from the back side of the speaker cone. You know how a speaker sounds when it's just sitting in free air with no enclosure? It was almost that bad. At low and mid bass frequencies the OEM speakers crushed the Kickers, it wasn't even close. It's not Kicker's fault, I don't think any speaker would do well in this situation.

    Kudos to Crutchfield on their excellent customer service and hassle-free return.
    Pros:
    Mid and high frequencies sounded clear, build quality seemed good.
    Cons:
    No bass. Questionable as a simple drop-in OEM replacement, may require custom fabricated mounting adapters.

    98 Volkswagen Jetta GLX

    Written By DannyP, New Jersey on Thursday, July 14, 2011
    Installed in a 1998 Volkswagen Jetta III
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased these for my 98 Volkswagen Jetta GLX and they have a bit more bass then the original factory Bose speakers that were worn out. If you want to use the factory rear deck brackets and factory grills, these speakers are a perfect fit. And if your wondering, these speakers also fit in the front doors with the factory grills. You might have to re-drill a new hole for one screw. The Kicker KS65 is a good upgrade for great sound that your money can buy. I also rate 5 stars for Crutchfield and there customer service.

    quality upgrade from the stock system. driven by an alpine pdx5 short of full power they sound great. adding a great mid range and more than enough sound for my crew cab silverado. the mounting hardware is comparable to garbage. dont even use the clips and go to lowes and get some nuts and bolts to fit.
