Complete 4-Speaker Upgrade
This bundle includes four matching KICKER 6.5" speakers, making it a convenient solution for replacing front and rear factory speakers at the same time.
Using the same speaker series throughout your vehicle helps provide consistent sound characteristics from front to rear.
Excellent Factory Speaker Replacement
The KICKER DSC650 is designed with factory replacement installations in mind. A shallow mounting profile and zero-protrusion tweeter help the speaker fit behind factory door panels and speaker grilles in a wide variety of vehicles.
Clear, Detailed High Frequencies
Each DSC650 features a 1/2" PEI balanced-dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet for clear and detailed high-frequency reproduction.
The tweeter uses a zero-protrusion design, helping maintain valuable clearance behind factory speaker grilles.
Durable Polypropylene Woofer
A rigid polypropylene woofer cone provides a great combination of sound quality and durability, while KICKER's EVC™ (Extended Voice Coil) technology helps provide controlled cone movement and improved acoustic performance.
Built for the Automotive Environment
The woofer is supported by a ribbed, UV-treated polyester foam surround designed to withstand the heat and demanding conditions commonly encountered inside a vehicle.
Efficient Performance Without a Large Amplifier
With 90 dB sensitivity, the DSC650 is a great option for customers looking to improve their factory audio system without immediately adding a large external amplifier.
Each speaker is designed to work best with up to 60 watts RMS of recommended amplifier power, giving you flexibility to use them with a compatible radio or aftermarket amplifier.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many speakers are included?
This bundle includes 4 KICKER 43DSC6504 speakers total, consisting of two complete pairs.
Is the 60-watt RMS rating per speaker?

Can I run these speakers from my factory radio?
Yes. The KICKER DS Series is an excellent choice for factory speaker replacement applications. Their efficient design allows them to provide an improvement in sound quality without requiring a large aftermarket amplifier.
Actual performance will vary depending on the power and signal provided by your vehicle's factory audio system.
Do I need an amplifier?
No. An aftermarket amplifier is not required. However, these speakers can also be paired with a compatible amplifier supplying clean power within their recommended range if additional volume and performance are desired.

Yes. That's exactly why we've created this bundle. If your vehicle uses compatible 6.5" speakers in both the front and rear locations, this package gives you four matching KICKER speakers for a complete upgrade.
Are these component speakers?

Will these fit my vehicle?
The DSC650 fits many vehicles that use 6.5" factory speakers, but speaker size alone does not guarantee fitment. Mounting depth, mounting pattern, factory audio configuration, and required adapters can vary by vehicle.
