Kicker KSC350 replacement recommendations

[AndyK]

Greetings, I replaced my 2025 stock system with the above Kicker corner dash speaker powered then by the Kicker 47Key200.4. I decided I wanted more power so I replaced the Kicker with a Rockford-Fosgate R2 500X4 75 watt RMS amp. Even at a low gain setting it appears to produce more power than the KSC350 can handle. There's considerable "clicking" distortion as it plays lower frequencies. I'm really at sea about the best power handling requirements for replacement dash speakers. Can anyone recommend a 3.5" to work more comfortably with this amp?

Looks like KSC350 is 50RMS max

This pioneer set is 100

I think Alpine makes a set at 200.

Hey thanks. You're right about the Pioneers. I tried a couple others, JBL, etc, but none could take the RMS output of the Rockford. So I put the Pioneers in & they were fine. Of course there's not much a 3.5" speaker can really do. Given my druthers I would swap out panel speakers & replace them with 6". But I'm not going to do that now

Anyway, thanks again for the recommendation
