Our take on the Kicker KS46

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 KS46 4"x6" 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 4"x6" speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer cone with Santoprene™ surround
  • 1/2" polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film balanced dome tweeter
  • power range: 6-30 watts RMS (60 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 50-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 88 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-13/16"
  • grilles not included
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Polypropylene Woofer Cones: The Kicker KS-series speakers feature durable polypropylene woofer cones for power and control. Polypropylene is also resistant to the moisture and temperature extremes found in automotive applications.

    Santoprene Surrounds: The woofer surrounds are made of Santoprene rubber to allow extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL. Santoprene is durable and resists moisture for a long life.

    Balanced Dome Tweeters: The 1/2" PEN (Polyethylene Naphthalate) balanced dome tweeters provide a smooth high frequency response with a wide dispersion pattern. The tweeters have strong neodymium magnets for higher power handling.

    Mounting: The speakers can be mounted in a metric 4"x6" opening, or using one of the supplied adapter brackets, mounted in a U.S. standard 4"x6" opening.

    Not kickers best

    Written By Okstate, Stillwater, OK on Thursday, May 17, 2012
    Installed in a 2005 Pontiac Grand Am
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Not kickers best speaker. Very disappointed with this product. Not at all what you would expect from the kicker name. If I was kicker I would be ashamed to have my name on this product. Sound clarity is pretty good but performance sucks. Not much bass or treble for an aftermarket speaker. Sadly enough think factory sounded better.
    Pros:
    None
    Cons:
    Doesn't live up to kicker performance

    Wrangler

    Written By Darren A, Gunnison, CO on Sunday, April 22, 2012
     
    I placed these speakers in the dash of my Jeep Wrangler. Once I had replaced the stock speakers I could tell a major difference in sound quality. I also I have now replaced the sound bar speakers with the Kicker DS's and they work together nicely. Huge upgrade from the stock speakers. And crutchfield included everything I needed to install them very quickly and easily.
    Pros:
    they sounds great, work well
    Cons:
    I had to put a layer of foam behind the mount to reduce rattle because they did not fit exactly right

    Crutchfield's dimensions are wrong

    Written By kjh, Culpeper, VA 22701 on Monday, October 03, 2011
     
    At the time I purchased these speakers, Crutchfield's web site said they had a depth of 1-3/16 inch. This was crucial to them fitting my car's door. I asked salesman at the store to double check the product, and he assured me it was 1-3/16. In fact, the depth is 1-13/16, and they do not fit. I am giving these speakers a low rating because they failed on the one criterion that led me to select them; it's possible they are very fine speakers, but I'll never know.

    [Editor's Note: We have updated our info to reflect the correct depth of the speakers. ]
