Kicker DS car speakers

Life's too short to put up with low quality factory sound. Improve your car audio experience with Kicker's DS series car speakers. They offer powerful Kicker sound at a price that fits any car audio budget.

Kicker's 2-way design helps create truly dynamic sound in your vehicle by sending the highs to the balanced dome tweeter and the mids and lows to the large woofer. You can also choose a 3-way version of the DS speaker that adds a 2" mid-range woofer for even more detailed sound.

Kicker DS speakers are efficient so they'll play loudly even from a factory radio. And they'll handle plenty of continuous power, which makes them a great choice for systems with aftermarket stereos or amplifiers. The DS series speakers are very thin. They'll fit as a factory speaker replacement for most vehicles and they're available in a wide range of sizes.

With a reasonable price, excellent design, and fantastic sound, Kicker's DS series car speakers are a great choice no matter what you like to listen to. If you have any questions please give Crutchfield a call.

How it works

SpeakerCompare^™ simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you're using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that's why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

We'd love to know what you think!

Warm

Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.

Neutral

A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.

Bright

Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
