Infinity tweeters
I have a set of 6.5 Kappa components and a set of 6.5 Reference components. I was wondering if it would be alright if I switched the tweeters on the systems. I was planning on installing the Kappa midrange in the front door and the tweeters in the sail panel, but I don't like the silver screen on the Kappa tweeters. I like the black screen on the Reference tweeters. Also, I'm partial to silk dome tweeters because they're not as bright.

But unless they are identical in impedance the parts used to do that would be different.
And I betcha the Reference xover point is higher than that. I might be wrong, but I betcha a dollar.

I checked the specs that came with it. The crossover point is 3500 Hzt. I'll have to check on the Kappas on their website because I lost the spec sheet on that a while back. So, what's this thing about impedance? Are you talking about 2ohm/4 ohm stuff?

I just checked both Reference and Kappa boxes and the impedance level on both speakers/tweeters are 4 ohms. I also found that the Kappa tweeters' also crossover at 3500 htz. Sooo... switching tweeters should work, right?

there's only one way to find out!

Yes, it's worth a try... but here's a tip on the nature of impedance - it varies with frequency. Good drivers have an impedance chart - it's different for every frequency and it spikes around the resonant frequency, too.
The value of z (impedance's electrical abbrev) at and near the xover point determines the passive xover values. While almost all car tweeters say 4 ohms on them, they are all unique.
You could change the xover too, but then the woofer will suffer the same problem.
Oh, well, Infinity probably picsk the values with a dart board anyway
