Click thru is an important metric to consider

I don't have much audio or speaker understanding but is this generic? I see "Compatible with Jeep Grand Cherokee 96-98 OEM Speaker Replacement" in the item link. Is this for Jeep, Buick, Chrysler or Dodge?

The speaker adapters and wiring harness are made for the jeep but the speakers fit in whatever adapter you need for your car as long as the speaker adapters made for your car says they fit.

So popular that the eBay listing shows ONE sold in the last 24 hours. Very popular. Big Grin

Looks like 3 sets of generic speakers (maybe ok only if yours are blown), generic wiring adapters (not a big deal), generic wiring kit with lower quality copper clad aluminum wire at a tiny 10 gauge for car stereo, and a decent 2019 model year Kicker amplifier that currently goes for $183 on Amazon [amazon.com] rated at 65W x4 channels in a class A/B design (Kicker page [kicker.com]). If you're looking to buy this specific amplifier and just want any kind of speaker or want to dump the speakers and wires on craigslist or marketplace, it's not a bad deal. Good 4 channel amps have been climbing in price lately, and Kicker generally makes pretty solid hardware for the price. The only part of this deal I would want is the amplifier, and if I wanted it I'd probably go for a current class D at similar power levels for a similar price and a full warranty from a proper reseller, not some random eBay bundle that saves me $15.

Thread title is a bit misleading since only one part of the bundle is actually from Kicker.

I have this Kicker amp, bought it a few years ago from a major online/mail-order store at BF for 174$. So bundled with speakers, even these "generic" ones, seems like a good deal for what it is.

I like the amp, I'm no car audio expert, but I did self-install. I'm driving 65W rated Cerwin Vega component setup in an '06 Honda Civic, and the tweeters sound great. I've seen online people say it runs hot, but I've never noticed cuz it's in da trunk Wink

Also, this seller has kits for other cars at the same price point (~170$ for everything) which I think is good.

However, the bundled speakers are 300W, so this amp won't drive them very hard, and they are going to seem a little stiff. At 4Ohms, it's only going to source 65W per channel. You can bridge to get 180W per speaker, but you are buying a 4 speaker setup, so, go figure.

I'm considering buying just to get the two speakers I need and another one of these amps for my component setup.

Power specs on the amp:
65 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)
180 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable when bridged)

I own a harmony audio amplifier and it's good quality though doesn't excel in efficiency. Came with a dyno sheet that exceeded its power rating by 30% which is typically reserved for high end equipment.

It's because it is posted by staff so other staff members will upvote it, regardless of whether it is a good deal or not. I assume staff have to meet certain metrics (# of deals posted per month, # reaching FP, etc) and so they scratch each other's backs.

Maybe they also pump each other on LinkedIn as sales professionals

Help me understand...nothing in the description shows a Kicker amp...only the title and one of the photos. Description shows a Harmony amp.

In most cases speaker power ratings are pretty useless other than comparing models from a specific brand to that brand. Reputable brands they're a decent guideline of what can destroy the speaker. Not so good brands its often vastly overstated. What really matters is the sensitivity and xmax (maximum excursion or cone travel) though the former especially is still sometimes exaggerated. Generally speakers really meant for high power use are actually much less efficient because they're heavier/stiffer to withstand it but generally can be played louder when given the right amount of power. Regardless of the other ratings if a speaker is rated "honestly" one with a higher sensitivity is generally going to be better particularly if you're not throwing boatloads of power at it. 65 x 4 should honestly be more than enough for most consumer grade midrange/separates like the sizes that come in this package.

It seems the kicker amp is no longer listed and it is a harmony amp. The initial photo does still show the kicker amp thought.

They definitely changed the listing now. It was a Kicker Amplifier and they removed it and replaced it with a Harmony Audio HA-A400.4

"Harmony Audio"... Yeah, ok. Spoof name of, "Harman Audio" to try and deceive potential customers that may not know any better. These are the same tactics used in white van speaker scams for years and Slickdeals is promoting it with staff posts? Really? Be better....
