Kicker

Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Our take on the Kicker 40CS654

by John Pollard

It's time for an upgrade

Upgrading the old factory speakers in your car will give you a huge bump in sound quality, and Kicker designed CS Series speakers to get your sound system rockin' without breaking the bank. You'll enjoy your music even more when you hear all the details that your muddy-sounding factory speakers couldn't begin to reproduce.  

Built tough

Kicker's 40CS654 speaker set provides low-end from a tough 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer, with a polyester foam surround that will stay strong for years to come. The 1/2" PEI balanced dome tweeter takes care of the vocal and instrumental details that'll really bring your music to life. These speakers sound great powered by a factory radio or an aftermarket car stereo, and they'll really rock when connected to an external amplifier. Grilles are included.

Highlights:

  • 2-way 6-1/2" speakers (pair)
  • polypropylene woofer cone with polyester foam surround
  • 1/2" PEI balanced dome tweeter
  • power range: 2-100 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 40-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 90 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-13/16"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    Polypropylene Woofer Cones: The Kicker CS-series speakers feature durable polypropylene woofer cones, resistant to moisture and 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.

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

    Mounting: In addition to fitting standard 6-1/2 and 4-hole 6-1/2 applications, the CS65 also has a standard 6-3/4 bolt pattern. However, if mounted in a 6-3/4 location the holes for the smaller pattern create an air leak, which must be sealed using a speaker baffle, or something similar.

    Nice upgrade

    Written By Jeremy, Indiana on Wednesday, May 15, 2013
    Installed in a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Great upgrade from factory speakers, and cannot complain on the price. I also put the Kicker CS 6.5" components up front. While these do seem voice matched like I wanted, the components definitely sound better - as they should for twice the price! Seem a little more well rounded than Polk's, which I have used many times before and tend to lack bass. Still, one should always add a subwoofer (the Kenwood KSC-11 will fit under most car seats!).
    Pros:
    price, clarity
    Cons:
    the Kicker CS component model for 2X the price sounds even better, wasn't in stock when I ordered it, but waited - no way I'm going to put the in-stock 5 1/4" model in when I have 6.5" components up front and the rear hole takes 6.5"

    You want great sound?

    Written By Great sounding for a budget, Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday, May 14, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I installed the speakers into a 2009 Challenger in the rear deck. They sound great. I suggest any challenger owner to add the speakers to their car they will be impressed with the sound coming from the factory deck or aftermarket.
    Pros:
    Great sound clear And handles the bass turned up beautifully While still offering a crystal-clear sound from the mid range
    Cons:
    I have not found one yet great speaker

    Kicker 40CS654

    Written By Greg, VA on Tuesday, May 14, 2013
    Installed in a 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Got these to replace a pair of Polk Dxi 650's in the rear doors because they just didn't seem to handle my amp well and sounded muddy. don't get me wrong, the Polks are good speakers with the right amp. I have Polk comps in the front and couldn't be more pleased. I installed these Kicker CS series and wow what a big improvement in mid bass and clarity and they are not even broke in yet.
    Pros:
    Nice sounding coaxials, easy install with the provided wiring harness from CF. Great price for speakers with this much power handling.
    Cons:
    None so far

    Just what my truck needed

    Written By Moose, Knoxville, TN on Thursday, May 09, 2013
    Installed in a 2012 Ram 1500
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Replaced the factory speakers in the doors, and behind the seats, in my 2012 Ram 1500 regular cab with 2 pair of these Kickers. The difference was immediate. Much cleaner sound at a lower level on my radio. I also put a pair of 3 1/2" Kickers in the dash corners. Night and day difference. Couldn't be happier with all 6 speakers.
    Pros:
    Clear sound, great range.

    Love these speakers.
    Pros:
    Came with the pigtails to hook up to speakers. Great bang for the buck!
    Cons:
    Just pigtails. I would have preferred connectors as well in case I wanted to use my own wire all the way to the speaker

    These speakers sound great, and the price was great! Definitely a vast improvement over stock. Shipment was received on time and very well packaged. Speaker installation brackets and factory wire harnesses worked great. The installation instructions were very detailed. Crutchfield definitely gained a customer for life!

    I bought a pair of this same brand for my front speakers and decided to do the same for the back and Kicker brand does not disappoint!! Wow is the sound crisp and and I can even get it somewhat loud before it rattles my car too much! lol I am very proud and satisfied customer of both Kicker and Crutchfield as their online customer service is very friendly. I'm looking forward to purchasing a sub system sometime in the near future!
    Pros:
    Really good overall sound

    Written By BKP, Branford, FL on Saturday, March 09, 2013
    Installed in a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought these based on the brand and the recommendation of Crutchfield. Usually I wait to see what others say, but I figured with the name of Kicker and the backing of Crutchfireld I could not go wrong. I was right. I am NOT tech savy and have little experience in installing any kind of audio equipment in my truck, but these went in easy, and if you have experience with this kind of work, it should be a breeze. These speakers are much better than the factory speakers for my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. Good range. Good sound. I did not need anything fancy or exspensive. These were perfect. No drilling. No soldering. By the way, this is my second purchase from Crutchfiled in the last 6 months. They have incredible tech support, as well as sending you everything you need in the box. I had to call customer service on both projects and both times they saved me from huge mistakes. Do not hesitate to call them. They have even sent pictures to me on email to help me further than the instructions that came with the products. I will say that the instructions for taking out my rear door speakers were different than what was actually on my truck but it did not cause any real problems. I love Crutchfield. I am a customer for life. So much more that I could say, but they are awesome.
    Pros:
    Ease of installation. Good sound. Good range. Crutchfields customer service.
    Cons:
    Brakets for rear door were a little difficult to use, but just take your time.
