anyone with infinity kappa's know if they will fit in the 6.5 pos and the 6x9 in the back, without much trouble?

6.5 - Top-mount Depth 2-5/8"
6x9 - Top-mount depth 3-¼"

l

 

why wouldnt 6.5s fit in the front and 6x9s fit in the back?

 

Could be too deep. Some speakers say they are 6.5" or 6x9s but for whatever reason they wont fit. It is always good to check. I love infinity kapps but sorry bro, i have no idea on fitment on our cars.

 

crutchfield says your fronts will not fit...i say fuck that and make them fit

 

they also say reference 6x9s dont fit the rear, but they do in my friends CL.

we are putting perfects in the front over x-mas we will see how those work out

 

I have Infinity Kappas 6.5 in the front no problem here?

 

I have the Kappa 6 x 9's in the rear.

However, I opted for the 5 1/4's for the front. I didn't think the 6 1/2's would fit.

 

i haven't changed out from the OEM speakers but from all the threads I have read here you might need to create a spacer for the front speakers. since they will be deeper than the oem ones, but that isn't a problem because there is a fair amount of room in above the speaker in that little enclosure area

 

infinities are garbage

 

Why do you say that?

 

i heard that you need to cut out the back of the pocket

 

that's what i heard too, i will be having a sort of fitment problem, but the rears will fit, or not fit?

 

There are stock 5 1/4 inch baffles in our front doors and if you get a good set of midbass drivers in our door the baffles act as a small enclosure. The effect... the drivers produce lively and tight bass response, imo much better than an open air 6 1/2. Put the extra cost of a 6 1/2 into a better quality 5 1/4, as always Quality > Quantity (or in this case woofer size).

 

what's a good quality 5 1/4 speaker, does kappa perfect have one?

 

do some research man, www.google.com and search for infinity or www.crutchfield.com

 

Theres a good chance that kappa perfect has something that will fit. Speakers however are VERY personal and can sound completely different from one person to another. Imho kappa's have always sounded overly bright to me (louder in general on the high frequencies). If your going to get a set and are looking for quality get seperates and replace those tweets in the dash. This will give you a much better front sound stage (vocals and instrumentation up front... where they are suppose to be). I've been through about 5 different seperates in my experiences and so far, would have to say that my taste likes the seperates in this order.

1. Rockford Fosgate fanatic Q
2. Orion nt2 -- new model would be the hx series i think
3. Cerwin Vega vega series
4. Infinity reference series -- older model of the perfect series
5. Kicker resolution

 

Get some nice 6.5" components.

2.5" mounting depth fit without modification

I've got 6.5" with 2.75" mounting depth. Just had to remove bottom of the plastic stock mounting bracket (easy to do).

Recommendations:
CDT Audio HD62
MB Quart Premium or Q series
Alpine Type X
Infinity Perfect

 

so y our saying the infiniti kappa perfects will fit into the stock housings? will anything need to be removed, involving sawing things off? people on here said the 5 1/4 setup would be good because of the enclosure, but will the 6.5 be that much noticeably different?

 

Really?

 

Nah, he's full of shit. He could at least spell it right too...

Infinity makes some nice shit...

 

My Infinity speakers have been trouble free and are great sounding for the price!

 

they arent garbage quality

but when it comes to the best..

go Mmats , JL audio , Rockford , Alpine.

my audio guy swears that infinity bass is good but the rest is

not all its cracked up to be

they do world class audio installments so i am just taking there

word... damn you guys know how 2 chew an ear off

 

Man none of those names are the best mid/highs.

Boston, MB Quart, Focal

 

well proaudio, should i go with 5 1/4 infinity kappa perfect, or 6.5's, 6.5s will probably have a fitment issue

 

If you guys aren't in a real hurry, I'll be installing an entire audio system in my car starting Monday and will be documenting the entire procedure with pics. Afterwards, I'll post everything up on my site. I thought I'd do this since there really isn't much info or pics on audio installs for our car. I figure I could help lots of people who are looking to do the same but don't know where to start.

What I'll be doing is installing a head unit, front components, rear fill speakers, a custom built fiber board which will be attached to the back of the seat in the trunk. This will hold all my amps, distro blocks and crossovers. And of course all the wiring.

Hope this will help everyone.

yea it sounds real good, i want change my setup but have no where to really start, do you have another custom board for sale?
