I am using these Kicker 3.5” in my dash of my pickup. I also have the 6x9” Kickers in my front doors and 6.5” Kickers in my rear doors. I just added an amplifier for these speakers and it made a huge difference in sound quality. I’m really enjoying them.

@@Mark-wq1nhI will say that amplifying the speakers usually makes them sound better. Installing the door speakers should fill in the sound quite a bit and give you more of the mid range and lower frequencies that you are probably missing a bit of with running only the dash speakers. The “airy” sound could be that your treble is set a bit high, or it could be reflections from the windshield. I wouldn’t change much until you install your door speakers and see how that affects your sound.

So I'm running these in a classic car (front center dash) and I just have one 6.5 inch in the back. Wouldn't I want a little bass from front? I skipped the inline crossovers for this reason and wondering if I should change. Appreciate all advice. Thanks

@@andrewmaez888 for door speakers sure, theres good jbl's that can be used with stocked stereos and have a good bass, but Tweeters nooo, they get hot fast and distort at medium to high volumes, bass blockers stop distortion, the only way would be if you had your tweakers hooked up to an amp too,

@@andrewmaez888 bass blockers don't block bass... Bass blockers are simply a electrolytic capacitor that blocks DC current. The lower the frequency, the closer to DC it becomes. So "Bass Blockers" are really just a -6db/octave bass reducer that rolls off at a frequency depending on the rating of the capacitor. with the larger the uF rating (MicroFarad) the lower the frequencies are allowed to pass to the speaker and not be attenuated.

@@aquaticlives2948 These are not tweeters, these are 2-way coax speakers. They are designed to be used without an external crossover. If you intend to run them over rated power, you will definitely need a crossover but not for the tweeter, the woofer will exceed mechanical limits if fed too much power. At rated power, these need no crossover. A stock radio, or even an aftermarket radio, with no external amplifier is not going to overpower these unless its one of Sony's 4 x 40w RMS decks or something similar with a high-output amp built in (these are pretty rare though). Heat also has nothing to do with why tweeters need a high pass filter. Tweeters are fragile and precision hardware, and are not meant to experience much of any excursion whatsoever, so pushing low frequencies at even low power for a fraction of a second can be enough for them to mechanically fail. Heat is not an issue, with any speaker, unless MASSIVELY overpowered, or moderately overpowered for a very long time.

Open baffle/free air isn't doing them justice. The infinity ref is a 3 ohm speaker, yes? And the kicker is 4ohm. The 3 ohm will sound louder and the amp will run hotter if it was designed to operate on a 4ohm load. Not much hotter, but hotter. Not apples to apples.

I tried the kickers,pioneers nvx,black diamond,american bass,alpasonik and skar 3.5 to match my door oem speakers in my 2024 rav4. The more efficient does not mean better.On the oem headunit all of these speakers are on the bright side,especially after adding a bass blocking cap. The job is to blend with the door speakers not overwhelm them. I settled on the skars with american bass swivel tweets were second. The kickers and pioneers are way too bright,listener fatigue sets in quickly when these are bouncing off the windshield.
