Our take on the Kicker DS35

by Jo Greene

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 DS35 3-1/2" 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. Don't suffer with bad sound in your car — you'll be amazed at the difference some new speakers can make.

Highlights:

  • 2-way 3-1/2" speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer cone with polyester foam surround
  • 1/2" polyether imide (PEI) film balanced dome tweeter
  • power range: 6-15 watts RMS (30 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 80-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 88 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-3/4"
  • grilles not included
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

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

    1/2" PEI Balanced-dome Tweeters: The 1/2" PEI balanced-dome tweeters provide a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. PEI is an acronym for polyetherimide. The tweeters have strong neodymium magnets for higher power handling.

    The price Rocks as do the Speakers

    Written By CarbonUnit.01, Decatur, IL on Thursday, September 13, 2012
    Installed in a 1990 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight Royale
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These speakers do a great job for their size and the price they couldn't be beat. I also ran into a height problem in my 1990 Oldsmobile 88 Royale. Called tech support for a solution, as we disused options I noticed that the factor tabs had an offset in them. The tech asked if I thought I could bend the tabs to work, my reply was "are you going to refund my money if the tabs break off? Or am I just stuck with them?" Tech support reassured me that since he advised me to bend the tabs that they would refund my money. Once I offset the tabs they dropped down into the mounting hole and the factory grill bolted back in just as pretty as you please.
    Pros:
    Sound pretty good for the size........Price was great!
    Cons:
    Instruction sheet calls for a direct fit.........................it lies

    The problem is...

    Written By monte carlo, Madison, WI on Sunday, July 01, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I don't have a problem with the speakers sound but the height is a problem. If you own an 82-88 monte carlo the speakers mount through the top of the dash. They are too tall to fit in that space as the windshield gets in the way. I kept the speakers and mounted them elsewhere. Other than that they sound pretty good for a little speaker.
    Pros:
    Sound nice and price is right
    Cons:
    Pretty tall, make sure to check how much room you will need

    Great speaker for the price. Full range sound is deep and clean. I would recommend this set to anyone looking for a low cost replacement to OEM speakers.
    Pros:
    Nice sound
    Cons:
    A little taller than I hoped but they fit.

    2011 sonata 2.0T

    Written By dash replacement, chandler az on Friday, April 13, 2012
    Installed in a 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I have been searching for a replacement to dash speakers a for a 2011 Sonata SE Turbo with base audio system. These speakers were a drop in replacement with just the inner mounting tabs needing to be folded over. The increased treble is very good. The free supplied wire connectors were perfect. Very nice upgrade for the price.
    Pros:
    Treble
    Cons:
    None
