Our take on the Kicker KS35

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 KS35 3-1/2" 2-way speakers use heavy-duty polypropylene cones supported by Santoprene rubber surrounds. Each speaker sports a 1/2" balanced 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 3-1/2" speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer cone with Santoprene™ surround
  • 1/2" polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film balanced dome tweeter
  • power range: 6-20 watts RMS (40 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 80-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 88 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-9/16"
  • grilles not included
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Kicker KS35 - front dash

    Written By JT R, San Francisco, CA on Thursday, January 03, 2013
    Installed in a 2006 Chrysler 300
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I installed them in my Chrysler 300 and it really cleaned up the front sound...lots more detail and cleaner highs (than factory speakers...of course), and this is just with the factory deck. I'll be running slightly more power to them soon along with some 200hz high pass filters to those and the front door speakers...they won't hit low bass but then I don't expect them to
    Pros:
    clean sound, sparkly highs, easy to install in my dash (just a grill to remove), and I got them on sale about 25% off regular price
    Cons:
    crutchfield didn't include the wire harness for these as they're not available...so it took a few extra min to solder and shrink tube it (but it did allow me to try out my new solder gun)

    Kicker KS35 3 1/2 inch

    Written By Colin H, Califon, NJ on Friday, November 30, 2012
    Installed in a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Cruiser
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    These speakers were truly amazing. I did not expect the power and sound qualities that they had. I put them into my 1986 Oldsmobile, and they fit perfectly, thanks to the wires that I received for free. They fit so nice and sound so good compared to the other ones that I will most likely be buying the new speakers for the back as well.
    Pros:
    Everything was great.
    Cons:
    Sadly my car had a faulty wire going from the connection to the speaker to the hub, but the other speaker sounds good enough and is loud enough to cover for the loss. I am not experienced enough to replace this cable so to bad that's life, and I should expect something bad to happen when I buy the car for $600 bucks.

    Written By Michael, Riverside, Ca on Thursday, November 17, 2011
     
    Used these to replace the factor dash speakers in a 2006 Dodge Charger. They sound 100X better! I should have done it a long time ago.
    Pros:
    Great sound in a little package.

    Sound quality and sensitivity were good, so it worked well with a factory head unit. Install was a breeze with the included adapters from Cruthfield.
    Pros:
    Sound quality and sensativity

    I still had to buy them...LOL

    Great sound but questionable quality

    Written By DanS, Berwick, PA on Thursday, October 27, 2011
    Installed in a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Good punch and clarity resulting in solid stereo image across entire pan. Don't fool yourself into thinking you're going to get any real Bass out of 3.5" speakers, but they compliment the rear 6"x9"s very well, picking up just below where the 'big boys' leave off, and creating just enough frequency overlap to smooth out the overall mix (the way a well-tuned crossover does). Having said all that, one of mine has developed a standing wave (really gnarley buzz!) after only 10 days while being driven by a Delco stereo that puts out a little over half of the Kickers rated power handling capability. Assuming that's a fluke, I give them a solid 4 stars for performance-for-the-price. I am, however, VERY dissapointed in the 10 day service life I got from my pair! - DLS
    Pros:
    Punch, clarity and aesthetics.
    Cons:
    Made in China! Didn't know that. Would have looked elsewhere if I had.

    Written By TrevorS, New Palestine, Indiana on Wednesday, August 03, 2011
     
    Provide fantastic sound, no complaints whatsoever. The magnet is rather large for a 3 1/2" speaker but not so massive that I couldn't get it to easily fit in my 03' Dodge Neon.

    Warning: speakers do not come with a mounting template--you'll just have to trace something out for custom installs. Solidly built--I'm sure these guys will last a long time. They're the only speakers in my old pickup, but they are still quite effective. Definitely recommend them as an add-on/replacement. Plus, if you don't need rattling windows, they do just fine on their own.

    2009 Jetta Install

    Written By Luke R, Baltimore, MD on Wednesday, July 06, 2011
    Installed in a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I unfortunately can't give a real rating to this product because they did not fit as indicated so I never actually heard them. There were two main faults for this install. One, the magnet was to big to pass through the factory opening in the door panel. So, using a rotatory tool I enlarged to hole. Second, after I enlarged the opening the speaker was in fact to deep and hit the window when is was put down. What a shame I really like Kicker and they were at a great price. I sent these back and ordered a set of Retro-Sound R-352N (reviewed separately.)

    WOW....what a huge diffrence! Before you upgrade door speakers, replace dash
    speakers with these. You wont need to spend any more money. I replaced door
    speakers with Alpine S 6x9 first. These kickers have better mids and highs. Alot
    cheaper too.
