About the Kicker DS68
You love listening to epic, soul-shaking tunes in your ride, but your factory speakers make every song sound like a 60's garage band. Replace those worn-out speakers with some Kicker DS Series models, and get the performance and reliability you deserve.
The DS68 6"x8" 2-way speakers use stiff polypropylene cones supported by heavy-duty polyester foam surrounds. The 1/2" balanced dome tweeter belts out the high-frequency details, giving your music energy and ambiance. Grilles are not included — factory grilles are appropriate for most installations. Don't suffer with bad sound in your car — you'll be amazed at the difference some new speakers can make.

The order came on time, and at a discount. The speakers were just as expected, were installed without issue. Best of all, they ROCK. Excellent sound. WHAT a deal. BIG upgrade from the factory.
