Does the bass preform well? Has anyone tried kicker 40CS684?

Decent. Had this on a stock radio with no amp. Did not have as much bass as the Focal's 5x7's, surprisingly.

Much better than anything else I've seen in this size, especially over time when they loosen up. I always recommend a sub to complete a system though. I just have a kenwood under-seat sub that I use with these, and it's a great system.

Don't expect "Bass" from anything other than a Subwoofer! As for a solid midrange and midbass....yes, this is a good sounding speaker!

The bass sounds good for a 6x8, this speaker has a nice heavy magnet and very well built cone. This is Pioneer's top of the line 6x8.

Yes bass is solid, however fidelity is lacking when used with Bluetooth pairings, recommend hard wiring (included)

The bass is awesome for 6.5 inch speakers ... They are pretty powerful and still very clear.

I have the one kicker in my back deck with four all range speakers in the doors and it sounds fine with clean strong bass. My amp is only 200 watts powering all of that, so I would see no reason why 400 watts would have an issue handling two kickers.

I put an Alpine S 12" in there and it sounds pretty solid. The box is well constructed and heavy. crisp bass

I think it would sound better than my set up since yours would be in the trunk and not in the cab like mine. Bass is nice and tight. But if your looking for something that hits hard, keep looking.

I dont think it would be good for bass. I would look into something with more wattage or a amp that is made for bass playing.

All these kickers need a little power to sound good. Head-units don't have enough out put. I run Pioneer 40 watts RMS x4 to 4 6x8s in my Ford Explorer. High an mid sound great. Bass is kicker 300 watt rms with kicker 12. Its loud enough for me.

Agreed with Ryan. I'd describe the bass more as "punch". It's pretty tight, but at the same time, everything comes through very clear. And the more you use them, the better they sound.

The bass is actually pretty good. Overall sound is good. It doesn't get super loud, but I mainly bought it for it's compact size and ease of use.

I have mine powered at 50w x4 and I would say the bass is fairly decent, it's punchy, but not very boomy. I definitely recommend backing these up with a small sub. Love the speakers, you won't find a better set for less than triple this price.

Yes the bass is good given the size and the fact that it's very inexpensive. I would definitely recommend this product. In comparison to more expensive systems the quality may not be as good but it suits my needs, and I liked it so much I purchased a second one.

I'm a bass player, so I'm really partial to bass in music. My prejudices disclosed, think the player has pretty decent bass response for it's size, full and not muddy. It satisfies my craving for the low register in most music, including the sub-dub bass in reggae.

The bass isn't that great, just okay. If you want good bass.. here's a simple solution... go to your local pawn shop and buy a powered subwoofer (the ones that connect to a reciever sound system) and connect it to the control unit. That's what I did and it sounds great. Cheaper than buying a receiver, subwoofer and speakers.

By far the best sub on the market, I have two on a kicker zx 2500, sounds like a live concert!

Good for its size, yes. If you want bass you will feel, you need a subwoofer. I used the infinity 860w. It's a great speaker, compact, cheap at $48 shipped, and doesn't need a crazy amp to power it. I'm not into competition sound, so all I want is clear, full music.

Bass is very good considering it's so open. It's present and punchy. However if you're used to the bass of a closed headphone like an ultrasone or beats you may be disappointed.
