About the Kicker DS40
Kicker's been making great car speakers for decades, so it's no big surprise that their DS Series speakers provide maximum performance at a minimum cost. The DS40 4" 2-way speakers feature rigid, lightweight polypropylene woofers that dish out rich sound efficiently. Ribbed polyfoam surrounds stabilize the woofers and resist cracking or separating, so you'll enjoy lasting reliability.
Balanced-dome tweeters bring out all the details in your music with precision and clarity. You'll hear dynamic performance that factory speakers just can't match. Kicker includes grilles with the DS40 speakers for custom installations, and removable tabs allow these speakers to fit in many older Japanese and European cars.
