Infinity Speakers

Are the KAPPA 63.5I 6-1/2" 3-way Speakers any good and will they fit in my car?

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

those should fit,

but i had bad experience with those speakers, i had the 2 ways and i blew out the tweeter the same week i installed them.

I sent them in for warantee, and got them replaced, i was breaking in the replacement speakers i had received and i was listening like at 20% volume when the tweeter blows out AGAIN after this i ripped them out and their somewhere up in my attic, the mid works its just the tweet thats broke.

What kind of power did you have going to them?

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

they handled 100 rms, i was giving then like 75 rms, but i never fed them over 50

[Bebo0001]

and what does the stock radio produce in RMS?

[Pig General]

The stock headunit in rms? I dont know the number, its somwhere between 7-10 watts rms per channel. The biggest upgrade to your sound would be a new headunit.

And CAMAROWITDABASS, that is incredible, you are the first person I have ever heard say anything bad about the infinity kappa line. Guess the warranty was a good idea there. Sorry to hear that.

Mine the tweeter was way bright until I broke in the midbass driver to catch up. I couldn't have been happier with them.

I've been running the Infinity Kappa 3-ways since 97. Yeah, that's right, the same door speakers since 1997 and they sound just as good as the day I got them. I've got two pair and I put 50 watts RMS to them and they loved it. At max power they just barely began to distort and I mean just barely. But I sometimes wonder if it was the amp getting a little sloppy. It was an older Sony (before that Xplod crap came out) with external Xovers. I liked it but it got stolen last month and I'm replacing it with a Kenwood eXcelon 501F. It's also 4x50 watts RMS but I expect it to play much cleaner.

I'll try to repost when I get it all put back in. That'll probably be after Christmas.

Sorry for the long post but I swear by Infinity/JBL products. I also ran a Kappa 12 inch sub that same period of time that sounded fantastic. Clean, accurate, and loud if I wanted it. I'm replacing it with a Infinity Perfect10.

Good luck!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I'm glad to hear something good about the kappa.. I have always thought that they were good.. but CAMAROWIDBASS had me worried for a second till I started reading about his setup.. as for the head unit.. I'm just looking to replace my blown stock speakers.

kappas kick a$$!!

Yeah replace your head unit before you put those Kappa's in I ruined my first set of Kappa's with my Monsoon head unit when I first got my car. Good thing Brandsmart had a no questions asked 1 year return policy on speakers. The stock monsoon head unit and amp combo has some strange impedance requirements that will occasionally ruin aftermarket speakers.

[Bebo0001]

Nope no Monsoon system, just your basic system

so the mounting depth of 2-3/16" isn't going to be a problem on the front and rear?

i have the 63.5i in my backseats for midrange. for your front doors i would recommend the 60.5cs (6-1/2 kappa components), the combo sounds great, and you definately want components in the front doors for your highs
i've had these speakers in about 8 months now running off my kenwood deck and never had a problem
