Why Upgrade Factory Speakers?

Most factory speakers are built with:

• Cost savings in mind
• Basic sound reproduction
• Limited durability

Not:

• Strong bass
• Detailed highs
• High-volume performance

Common symptoms of worn factory speakers include:

• Buzzing
• Crackling
• Distortion
• Missing bass
• Poor clarity

And unfortunately, turning up the volume usually just makes everything sound worse.

By drastically reducing the mounting depth, CS-Series Coaxial and Three-Approach Speakers will are compatible in just about each make and model of car at the road lately.

Extended Voice Coil Technology

One of the biggest advantages of the CS-Series:

EVC (Extended Voice Coil)

This design helps provide:

• Greater cone control
• Improved efficiency
• Better low-frequency response
• Increased output capability

The result is:

• Stronger bass
• Fuller sound
• Better overall dynamics

Without requiring a dedicated subwoofer.

Although we all know where many audio projects eventually end up.

The easiest upgrade out of your factory sound, a stamped-steel framework supports a rigid polypropylene cone and 0-protrusion PEI tweeters.

Heavy-Duty Motor Structure

KICKER equips the 46CSC54 with:

• Heavy-duty motor and magnet assembly

Benefits include:

• Improved speaker control
• Better efficiency
• Increased output
• Cleaner sound reproduction

Especially at higher volume levels.

Because nobody enjoys speakers that give up halfway through your favorite song.

UV-treated poly-foam surround resists heat or direct sunlight
Neodymium tweeter magnets allow for increased volume in high frequencies

Polypropylene Cone Construction

The woofer utilizes:

• Rigid polypropylene cone material

Benefits include:

• Excellent durability
• Moisture resistance
• Accurate frequency response
• Long-term reliability

Unlike traditional paper cones, polypropylene handles:

• Heat
• Humidity
• Daily use

Much more effectively.

Which is useful because vehicle interiors occasionally become solar ovens.

Zero-Protrusion PEI Tweeters

The integrated PEI tweeters provide:

• Improved high-frequency detail
• Better vocal clarity
• Smooth treble response
• Reduced distortion

The zero-protrusion design also helps improve fitment in tight factory locations.

Meaning fewer installation surprises.

And fewer reasons to invent new curse words.

Shallow Mounting Depth

A major benefit of the CS-Series lineup:

• Reduced mounting depth

This allows fitment in:

• Cars
• Trucks
• SUVs
• Jeeps
• Classic vehicles

Without requiring extensive modifications.

Which makes installation significantly easier for DIY enthusiasts.

OEM Head Units
