Customer Reviews

Great sound, amazing customer service

These speakers sound great compared to the stock ones on my 2020 Silverado 3500HD. They add a nice bass and the mids and highs are much crisper. They were relatively easy to install, with the hardest part actually being the dismantling of the door panels (a few clips broke), but that has nothing to do with the speakers. I also installed the rear door speakers from the Kicker 51KSC6704 kit, which fil out the sound The star of the show, however, is the customer service. Before even purchasing a kit, I spoke to Hunter, who walked me through what speakers might be the best fit for my truck, budget, and needs.

Great separation of sound for clean sounds

Works awesome for replacement of factory speakers ?? (front doors) on a GMC vehicle without the BOSE system. Great bass, mids and highs separation for a crisp sound. The crossover is easy to configure and highs sound great and makes the BASS ?? thump cleanly.

Kicker KSS690

Installed in the front doors of a 2013 Tacoma double cab. Sound great powered by a Kicker Key 200.4, sounded decent off of factory power but the amp woke these speakers up. Not thinking about installing a sub anymore. Was able to use the included threaded tweeter mounts in combination with some RTV silicone to securely mount to the Metra tweeter brackets. Just wish the crossover wasn't so big, was difficult to find a place to mount it in the door.

Tweeter mounts are useless

Can't tell you how they sound since during the test fitting all of the tweeter housings that should screw on to the back of the tweeters were pretty much useless. When I tried testing the fit in any configuration they just fell apart in my hands. So I'm sending them back to Crutchfield and ordered some Infinity Ref 6x9 components for my 07 Tacoma. I was told I could try hot glue or silicone but I live in the Mojave desert and it's get to hot that trick to work during summer. The tweeter and the tweeter housings have threads and should screw together.

Easy installation !!

Installed in a 2013 double cab Tacoma. Hugh difference from decade old factory speakers. Very easy to install, but Crutchfield provided instructions were less than helpful. Used 1 3/4 inch hole bit to cut hole in Metra tweeter mount. Hot glued tweeter in mount. Wire crossover to speaker wires from head unit. Then used crossover to plug directly in to tweeter and mid range. Volume and clarity were vastly improved. Would recommend sound deadening while you are there. Adds a bit of time, but road noise is greatly reduced.

Solid Upgrade

Pretty solid 6x9's for the price. Nice upgrade from cheaply made factory Toyota speakers. Solid mid-bass response, and really nice highs from tweeters.

Sound quality

I am pushing with a kicker iq500.2 amp that puts 125w to each speaker. I had a high dollar system in the late 90 with 2 midrange and 2 tweets per door. The KS690 speakers with amp sounds as loud and cleaner than my system from the 90s. I added a TB10 kicker bass tube running off 500 watt cheap stinger amp. I am not breaking any loud sound records but the quality of sound is epic.

A little step up from factory

Decent speakers. Installed on a 2010 Camaro with the Boston sound system. Did a little test with the little amp boxes and they didn't perform (possibly due to my factory amp) so I installed without the boxes. The highs are better than the factory speakers but the mids are about the same as factory. Might be different with a better head unit/amp. Right now it's factory head unit. Also cruchfield recommended the install kit. You do not need it with this set of speakers. It comes with the speaker housings so that was a waste of money and the instructions were pointless. Shame on cruchfield for not knowing this but they made a little extra money. ????

Extremely epic speakers

These are great high quality speakers. Superb construction with remarkable sound. I feel bathed in bass as opposed to other types of speakers that shower you with bass. I highly recommend buying these here for all the right reasons. Be sure to use some solid sound deadening mat on the door inners because they will rattle you car. I recommend medium loc tight if installing the tweeter into the speaker itself. Everything was a perfect fit for a 2022 Chevy Equinox. Thanks to the happy helpful staff I was able to get all my questions answered quick and accurately. Highly trusted for any level of outfitting.

Great Bass speakers.

I bought these for a 2023 Nissan NP300 truck for replacement of the cheap factory 6x9 speakers. My first thought was to power them with an amplifier, but, just with the OEM head unit it's a huge difference in lower bass. Now I'm thinking running off an amp. Very nice door speakers that I've ever heard for this range of price. I have to mention that I did some door insulation treatment.

Decent but not great

I though the 6x9s would sound better than the alpine 6.5s i had in, but they sound muffled and mid dominant which really drowns out the detail of the sound. I put the Alpine type R back in.

Crutchfield response on

Big upgrade

The 6x9s fit the front door speakers for the Lexus GX470 perfectly. Had to adjust the wiring harness ith soldering. Tweeters are going to need some cutting and will need to fit outside the stock speakers grills. ALSO, you must add capacitors to the mid-ranges if you stick with the same Kicker brand.

2014 Nissan Frontier

I bought these for a 2014 Nissan Frontier. My end goal was to power them with an amplifier, but I didn't have the option initially at first, I don't think there was a huge difference in bass only the highs sounded much better. But now I have them running off an amp and these are the greatest door speakers I've ever heard. The bass sounds like it's coming from an eight-inch sub. It's really crazy.

Great sound!!!

Great sounding and fairly simple install. The biggest issue during the install was locating a space to mount the crossover inside the door. Overall an easy install and they sound amazing. I opted for installing the tweeters in the middle of the mid because I did not want to run speaker wire through the door boot.

Junk!

For as long as I've known Kicker, I've always associates them with loud bass... So imagine my disappointment when I installed these and the bass is less than the factory speakers had! I'm feeding them 150W and it's just sad! The tweeters sound good but overall I would not recommend wasting money on these - get a good 6.5" setup that sounds better! The rear door speakers are blowing these away!

more volume without distortion

i played a favorite song and the vocals werent as bold as the speakers i took out witch was the kicker csc698 3 way 6x9s powered by a 150 watt x 4 channel amp being used as the mids and tweets for my set up. i have 12 inch subs and mono amp separate. i was however able to turn up my volume more without any distortion. and after listening to them through several songs im happy i made the switch. i can hear the vocals much better and way better detail in the vocals. the tweets are loud and clear. a lot better than i first thought.i can accually hear the tweets with my bass pounding. and i havent adjusted the amp settings yet. the components are working much better for my set up. it was worth switching to them from the 3 ways. now my system is way loud.

Great upgrade for 2015 f150 xlt. The stock speakers had literally crumbled. The 6x9 speakers fit perfect with the brackets provided in the box, though Crutchfield did also provide a set of mounting brackets also. The sound is good as is but will sound better with an amp to drive the 6x9 harder to get more bass out of them. The stock stereo simply doesn't push out enough power for them to be pushed to their potential. The tweeters sound great as well but note, the tweeters will need a custom bracket. None of the provided mounts in the box will hold the tweeters in the factory position. I used a piece of aluminum wire between the screws to hold it in place. Over-all they are a nice set of speakers and a welcomed upgrade over stock. Would buy again.

I bought these speakers to replace my factory non Bose door speakers in my 2021 Sierra. Couldn't be happier with the included instructions, speaker brackets, and speaker wire adapters. I installed the speaker with the tweeter on the woofer and placed my crossover in the door panel with velcro (see picture). Instant upgrade in audio quality without an external amplifier.

Pretty good with 2020 forester factory head, but

Factory speakers sound decent for the first year or two, but they're designed to slowly go bad. Sometimes you barely notice the decline until it's just awful to listen to. These speakers basically take you back to the new factory sound. It's okay, but no wow factor. I'm using a factory head so maybe that's it. It sounds good, not great. And I just had it installed today and one of the tweeters already crackling. I'll take a closer look tomorrow with some different songs from different inputs. but that's a scary thought to go to bed with tonight.

Great Speakers on my 2016 F150

I love the sound of these spearkers. They have a warm rich sound and clarity. I installed them on my 2016 F150. Kicker provides solid installation hardware in the box like the screws, speaker mounts, and wiring if you dont mind cutting and splicing but Crutchfield sends adapter cables and mounts free with the speakers. You will need an amp and/or aftermarket stereo for these spearkers to show their potential because there is not much difference in sound with oem stereo power from the f150.

Kicker KS 6x9 Components Rock!

First off, the components sound awesome with just my Kenwood receiver. The silk dome tweeters have smooth highs and the 6x9 woofers have good solid bass response. They fit in the front doors of my 2006 Tacoma double cab nicely. Just remember to use a speaker foam kit so that you'll get a nice solid bass response and that the sound will not leak all over the place. Use these regardless of what brand or size speakers go in your doors.

Great sound

These speakers sound clean at higher than reasonable volume, when using a 45W RMS amplifier (Alpine KTP445). These would get a 5-star review, were it not for instructions on mounting them as a coaxial speaker, which are less than completely clear. The only other improvement I'd make would be adding spade connectors to the input wires to the crossover. All the others wires have them, which helps avoid polarity issues.

2016 Toyota Tundra 6x9 components

2016 Toyota Tundra component 6x9's in the front doors and installed tweeters in the sail panels. Install was a breeze with the included speaker brackets. The sound is amazing. Using Audio Control D-6.1200 running the components on ch3&4 KS 3.5s on ch1&2 and KS coaxal 6x9s on ch5&6 for rear fill. After setting the crossovers and time alignment, sounds like I'm sitting on stage behind a drum set. The speakers can handle way more power than the stated RMS. Definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

Far surpassed my expectations

. The by 9s are getting 65w rms from a CXA360.4 and the tweets are getting 50w rms from a Key 200.4. Crisp, clean, loud highs with a LR HP crossover at 4K. The 6x9s are crossed over at 71 and 314. The mid bass just thumps.

Picked these as part of an 8-speaker system to replace factory setup. Used only the woofers, as they are acting as a subwoofer (I didn't want to put an enclosure in the trunk, preferring to keep using the factory rear deck location - although I am considering building enclosures around the Kickers). Being driven by an Alpine 5-channel amp, 300 watts total to the pair, produces good tunable bass for classic rock, bluegrass, blues, and more.

Less Than Impressed

Not what I expected, actually not that much better that the OEM speakers. Possibly need to drive them a little harder, they might be better with something more than the stock radio. I have tried them with the crossover in all three positions, not much difference, pretty subtle. One issue might be is that they are installed in the coaxial configuration but, the in dash tweet install on a 2018 Taco is not as technically simple. This would be a component type install and might be better. If you are not really wanting to take your dash apart and get pretty deep in to an install, a plug and play is a better way to go on the 3rd Gen Tacomas. Just my 2 cents.

Great sound at a reasonable price

I got these speakers for my Explorer because a local shop wanted to charge me over $1000 to install mid to low grade coax speakers in the doors only. I spent a day and installed these as well as the 3.5" KSC in the other 3 locations. The sound clarity is really great. These speakers offered the greatest sensitivity and the widest frequency range at this price point and they delivered. I never thought I would be a fan of Kicker speakers, but I am.
