Overview
Our take on the Kicker 40CS54 by Crutchfield's 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 40CS54 speaker set provides low-end from a tough 5-1/4" 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.
EASY TO INSTALL. GOT A GREAT SOUND. GREAT TO GET THE FACTORY PLUGS FOR THE WIRES WITH THEM TOO!! GREAT PRICE ALSO!!

Q & A
Customer Q&A
16 questions already asked
It probably depends on the specs of whatever amp is driving the speakers, but in general the amp would not push as much current to the new speakers possibly making them sound not as loud as the originals depending on how efficient the original speakers are. Again depending on the specs of the amp I seriously doubt that the amp would be damaged by going to 4 ohm speakers and may even run cooler with the 4 ohm speakers. Not knowing anything other than what is in your question there are other factors such as if there are 4 speakers and you only replacing 2 it may throw the balance off especially if the current speakers are wired in series.

I have these connected to a pioneer stereo. I have notice that the quality of the recording (Itunes) has an affect on the sound produced. Good recording good sound and vise versa. [ Crispin Oct 04, 2016 ]

the voice coils blew out of mine within a couple months and apparently thats an issue with these speakers or kicker in general so i would go with a different brand [ GREG May 11, 2016 ]
They are rated to play down to 45Hz which is better than average for this size speaker. No full-range speakers, of any size, will substitute for a dedicated subwoofer so, if you like robust bass response, you may want to consider adding a subwoofer to your system. Hope that helps!

Per soeaker [ SHAWN Mar 25, 2016 ]
Pretty sure it is per speaker. Hope this helps. [ SHAWN Mar 25, 2016 ]
I didn't use an amp with it but I did have a decent stereo which helps. They sound really good running just off of the power from the stereo [ T Mar 15, 2016 ]
This is a pair, two speakers. [ Kenny Dec 26, 2015 ] Staff
In most cases yes. Using these selected speakers when you purchase we will include the speaker wiring harnesses specific to your vehicle and speaker mounting brackets, as well as the mastersheet for your vehicle. [ Kenny Dec 23, 2015 ] Staff
Speaker wiring harnesses will help you install the speakers to the stock wiring in that SUV. We include these and the mounting brackets for free with the speaker purchase. [ Paul Dec 07, 2015 ] Staff

I put mine in a 2012 Sierra and yes it sounded way better. But to be quite honest, anything is gonna sound better than a 17 year old stock speaker. I would recommend this speaker but will tell you it has a lot of highs and your bass will lack BUT will improve as the speaker breaks is. Mine are running off a 100x4 amp so i have plenty power gong to them. Do yourself a favor and run these speakers off an amp, you dont have to go near as powerful as i went. Any power amp will make a consderable improvement. The Clarion XC1410 may be pefrect if you are looking to improve sound without breaking the bank. [ Jonathan Jun 25, 2014 ]
I put them in gmc k3500 dually and they are much better than the stock speakers. [ MICHAEL Jun 25, 2014 ]
I put them in my 2001 Wrangler they are much better than stock, two thumbs up! [ ALAN Jun 24, 2014 ]
These are in my 94 jeep wrangler and sound real good compared to the stock one. I recommend them [ CHRIS Jun 24, 2014 ]
