The Kicker fit

Kicker's DS Series 43DSC3504 3-1/2" speakers make a great replacement for the worn-out factory speakers in your vehicle. In addition to providing excellent sound, these Kickers incorporate a zero-protrusion tweeter into a low-profile speaker that'll fit in more vehicles than ever.

Reliable, powerful sound

These 3-1/2" speakers will give you the kind of clarity you've never had with your factory speakers. The 2-way design recreates a dynamic sound, dedicating the highs to the PEI balanced dome tweeter while sending the lower frequencies to the 3-1/2" polypropylene woofer. They'll conjure hefty volume even from low-powered factory radios, so you can confidently pump your jams for years to come.

Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications.

Product Research

Features

Polypropylene Woofer Cones: The Kicker DS-series speakers feature durable polypropylene woofer cones for their rigidity and light weight. Polypropylene is also resistant to moisture and high temperature extremes found in automotive applications.

Ribbed Polyester Foam Surrounds: The ribbed polyester foam surrounds allow extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL.

Balanced-Dome Tweeters: The 1/2" PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide, polymer film) balanced-dome tweeters provide a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. A semi-dome tweeter has a dome placed inside a cone; balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter.

Q
Will these really sound any better than the factory speaker if I install them in my 2022 subaru forester without an amp?

Greetings Jim, and thank you for your question. These will have more detail on the upper midrange and high frequencies over the factory speakers. Bass will be a bit less. If you are looking for clearer highs and mids, they will be a good improvement.

Q
Why You think these will not fit in Subaru Outback 2016 (w/o HK)?
karlisma  Feb 10, 2023

A
The reason those Kicker speakers don't fit in the corner dash is because of depth. You have 1.44" available and those need 1.66" to fit.

Will this 3 1/2 fit on 2022 silverado custom 1500. Just bought 43dsc6.50?.

This 3 1/2" Kicker will not fit the dash location sadly, Rolando. I would use the Kicker 47KSC2704 KS Series 2-3/4" speaker in the link below instead. These fit your truck, and they will sound great if you have the fantastic D series speakers already in place in the other locations! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20647KSC27/Kicker-47KSC2704.html

Q
What kind of power can these really take safely? Looking to add a amp to 4 of these. Does kicker make an amp that would pair nicely with the 4 of these

These speakers do not handle amp power. They are only recommended to get 15 watts RMS each and have a peak power handling of 30 watts. Ideally, they would be powered with a radio. Kicker does not make an amp that outputs power low enough to work with these speakers. At the time of this reply, we do not offer any amp from any brand that outputs power low enough to safely work with them. However, this may change in the future and I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to check.

Hello, For these speakers you don't really need a amp. I found these to be a little on the sensitive side, meaning high pitch as tweeters, so I took them off of my truck. I think if the tweeter part was taken out, it would've probably sound better. I end up swapping it for some AudioFrog which was designed for the truck, fits perfect, and the sound was just perfect. The kicker is nice, even though being power by the stock head unit, was too overwhelming, the sound over power even my door speakers. But that's my opinion. Hope this helps.

What ohm speakers are these and will it mate well with my current stereo 2015 Acura TLX?

Hi Montez. The Kicker 43DSC3504 speakers are a 4ohm speaker. We do show that your Acura does require a 2ohm replacement speaker in order to ensure you maintain your volume levels. Please chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. An Advisor will be happy to assist you in finding the best solution for your application.
