    i have read many posts about certain speakers having good sound quality but i never hear anyone speak of the door infinity speakers. Are these not good speakers? i know that they cant handle bass but i think that they have very good sound quality.

    I have had a set of infinity Kappas in my doors for five years, and they still sound great. You can pump the power to them and they play loud and put out a fair amount of bass too.

    The Kappas are a great speaker. I have had mine, since 1998. The tweeters, were replaced twice, under warrentee, but that's because I am using a stock deck with the treble turned up and amplified with 75 rms per channel. I replaced the tweeters with MB Quart "r" series titinum dome, last year, and it's a little harsher, but I like it. If you have amps, more than 50 watts per channel, do not buy the Infinity "reference". I bought this set first, and blew both mid's. Then, upgraded to the Kappas.

    Generically way overpriced, but that isn't always the case. I have an issue with $300 components where you can buy the mid alone for $10

    Re: infinity speakers

    ^thats why i got mine on ebay, haha. $120 on ebay versus $250 at crutchfields.

    but i have the Kappa components powered by a kenwood amp (ive had good luck with kenwood amps) and they sound excellent. I can pretty much crank my stereo to my tolerance and they never crackle. Im not an audiophile by any means, but they sound great IMO.

    BUT, like ///M5 always says, what may sound good to me doesnt necessarily sound good to another.

    Re: infinity speakers

    All I can say, does this look familiar? And yes, I realize that this is about 5 years off but either way not a whole lot special going on.

    I will also add though that for $13 it is a hell of a driver.

    Hey! I have those same drivers in my doors right now!(came with the truck when I bought it)

    So, are those the same driver as the Infinity 6.5" that I have in my doors?

    HMMM....if they are, I might think about picking up an extra pair and doing a 3 way setup in my truck.

    raw drivers are by far the way to go if you have the ability to fit them to a passive or run active!

    hell you can even find some amazing deals (picked up some Alpine TypeXREF tweets for 36 bucks!)
