Kicker 47KSC2704 2.75" Mid-Range Speakers, 4ohm with Brackets for Select GM/Chrysler/Subaru/Jeep and Toyota Included

Sound and music has been a lifelong hobby for me, and while I don't profess to be an audiophile, I have a pretty good ear for great sound. I recently bought a 4th Gen Mazda 3 with the non-Bose setup. While the stock sound was not terrible, it certainly was not great or to my taste or satisfaction. I added a 10" kicker sub to give it the right amount of thump and to fill in the gaps in the low frequencies. I changed the tweeters to a set of Dayton AMTs and they brought a whole new dimension and clarity. I then swapped out the mid-range (front + back) with Dayton Reference series drivers, but that is where things took a turn for the worse and the mid-range became harsh and muddled. I decided to switch out the Daytons with these Kicker 2.75" in the front and a set of Kicker 4" in the rear. It was like night and day.I will confess when I first inspected the Kicker 2.75", they looked tiny and I was highly skeptical.... boy was I mistaken. These speakers sound awesome, the clarity, detail and warmth are fantastic and no matter how much I push them they do not distort at all (they are running off the standard head unit amp). My equalizer is set to flat, and there does not appear to be any gaps and everything plays together beautifully. I tested these out with all types of music and they simply impressed me. I do believe that with some play time, these midranges will open up more and unleash their true potential, but even still with the little bit of testing so far, I had to come and write a review and share the results. Another thing worth pointing out is the price, because for $50, you can't go wrong. If you are considering these little Kickers, they really are well worth the money.

I installed them in my 21' Forester the brackets that came with them did not fit my Subaru perfectly but was good enough to keep them in the dash secure. I'm running these in a 3 way set up with 6.5" woofer & 1.5" tweeter Hertz 2 way component set with 50 watts rms from a Arc Audio 4 channel amp and they sound awesome (Far superior than my Harmon Kardon stock system). Very loud and crisp! I installed the included capacitors to block the bass frequencies and heat shrink over all connections so they would not come off. For those that said there were no directions they didn't look hard enough they were in the box just tucked in between the cardboard. To install the Capacitor just connect them to the Positive wire closest to the speaker and you're good. My only complaint is the wires are soldered on the speakers came off very easily of just handling the speakers so I had to re solder them back on. If you are looking for mid range speakers these will do the job very well. Highly recommend these they are worth the money!

These sound great. The sound is clear and detailed. They can get pretty loud, too. Also a shoutout to Creative Audio, they’re a great seller and very easy to work with. I recommend choosing them as the seller when purchasing these.

Finally, another 2.75" option for dash speakers. Ive already added a kicker 4 channel kicker amp powering a 10" kicker comp sub, and two 6.5" kicker door speakers. Im not a kicker fan boy, but decided to keep it all together after buying my sub and amp.First, the instructions are crap. They include 300hz bass blockers, but the "manual (have to view online, not in box)", does not have any info on how to wire the capacitors. Didnt take much for me to realize that you have to solder them, but not everyone may know that. Soldering could be difficult because there isn't much room with the windshield getting in the way. Since I have a sub, I didn't want these to handle lower frequncies, so I bought PAC 600hz bass blockers. These blockers already have the wires set in them, so you can crimp, wire nut, or solder if you wish. They are only about $10, are better quality, and made the install easier) soldering is technically best, but I choose wire nuts and electrical tape since i find it easiest and its never failed me. The included brackets fit perfect in my 2024 silverado.Sound quality is excellent even running off the oem headunit. With the 600hz blockers, they shine with higher tones, and I can turn up the volume without risk of damage from low freqencies. I would advise 600hz aftermarket blockers over the 300hz ones that it came with. Let your other larger speakers handle lower tones.***silverado install(2014-2018 and maybe newer) but helpful tips to others***Tools used:Plastic pry tool setWire strippers10mm and 7mm socketsExacto hobby knifeNeedle nose plyers (if needed)Wirenuts (crimps, or soldering iron your choice)Electrical tapeInstall: remove covers on hand grip bar with pry tool (plastic trim from windshield to cealing). 10mm removes bolts by hand bar. Use pry tool on same panel from the top to remove one clip and panel pops out. Do the same on driver side (no hand rail), start at top and it pops off.Use plastic prytool where speaker girll is and go all the way down to free the ten tabs (they come out easy). From underside, rotate dash globe and that will pop down and off.Use 7mm to remove the retaining bolts holding down old speaker. (I used needlenose players for one closest to windshield (couldnt fit ratchet, and didn't have a 7mm wrench. Reach under old speaker to pop it out of housing.Snip wires closest to bracket connected to speaker. Use exacto knife (like the ones for models) to CAREFULLY cut fabric that binds the wires too close together to work with. Wires with black stripe are always negative. Solid color is positive. Strip the factory wires (18 guage). I used a wire nut to combine positive factory wire to bass blocker and a wire nut for the bass blockers other side to positive wire from speaker. Factory negative to speaker negative using a wire nut.Now turn on radio and test. Mine worked perfect ( you'll also feel vibrations from the speaker. If not, check connections.Electrical tape all nuts and wire together and tuck under and over. See pic above, more than enough room.Do both speakers, place them where the old ones were and use appropriate metal circle covers (included in box) fasten down using 7mm bolts that held original speakers. Reassemble the three panels, but remember to put the globe back in the center piece. If it fell, just reach down where I was. Everything should easily go back together.Now you're done. Crank up the volume,, and enjoy hearing nice highs while we blocked the dangerous low tones. Go inside the house, tell your wife how handy you are, and await a response from her telling you that you are 43 years old and not 19, and that you are really not that handy.

These speakers blew me away. They come with multiple hold downs for different factory screw locations or a custom mount but that is not the best of it. I’ve done car audio for a long time and will say these things perform like a Focal and the like which cost multiples of what these cost. Crisp and capable but most importantly one of the few offerings in this size which fits GM dash applications perfectly (among many other with limited space). Crystal clear audio.
