So I've been thinking of doing this for awhile now, but buying some fatmat for sound deadning has made me decied to just install everything at once. I really don't care to upgrade the factory amp. And I read through all these threads, and it seems the question has been asked many times but never answered. I know going to a 4ohm speaker, sound will decrease because of the load on the amp. So I would like to go with a 2 ohm speaker.......same as stock, but something that will just sound overall better than the stock speakers (more efficient). I've only found 2, 2 ohm speakers that look like they will fit the bill. The only problem I see with both of these is a clearance issue. Here are the options I've found:

Infinity Kappa 52.7i (front doors)
Infinity Kappa 62.7i (rear deck)

or

JBL GTO 527 (front)
JBL GTO 627 (rear)


My 2 part question would first consist of:

1) Have you used either of these speakers?

2) If you haven't, and have used another type. Did you have any
clearance issues with them. And what did you do to overcome this
issue?

Please don't tell me to upgrade the amp, because not matter what you say I'm not going to. I just want insight into this speaker upgrade. I know there are plenty of you out there who know 10 folds more than I. Also if you have a better speaker option please let me know.

 

i have that exact same question, hopefully someone knows!

 

There are several threads about the use of the 62.7i speakers.

The stock front door speakers are 6 1/2" why do you want to use 5 1/4" ones?

 

Yah I was going to comment on what AMIC said, but it's been posted. The common speaker used in the TL is the "Infinity Kappa 62.7i"

 

I thought the front was 5 1/4.......crutchfield told me that

Have you checked into these?

I would probably get those price wise. But I found a seller on ebay selling the 62.7i's for $74 picked-up. I just have to drive 50 miles. Thanks though!

 

disconnect the front stock tweeters to get the load to 4ohm and then do what u gotta do...I dont recommend running any setup at 2 ohms for highs....theyll blow

 

You did know this was from 6 months ago......right

 

lol i wasnt even paying attention
