Thanks in advance. If there's anything better please post the site

 

To the top....

 

kappa's are 2 ohm make sure your amp is 2 ohm stable and the 2 ohm rating does not exceed their power handling. and yeah my vote would be the kappa's, but both companies are very good.

If you mean the same as these... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Q...607CS I would say yes, [model number being the same] but maybe you where just being redundant, and the price was the issue, however you may want to read the fine print under warranty, Crutchfield is an authorized dealer for Infinity and etronics is not 94

So...I should go with the Infinity, they have a warranty of 3 years

But the Infinity's out of the two are the better purchase right? I mean, it seems as though I'll need a good healthy amp right? What kind should I get? I'm not too experienced in the stereo section.

yea, go with the kappas man

So what kind of amp should I go with? I'll be getting four of the 60.7cs'.

 

They are 90W 2 ohm speakers, so I would want a 4x100W rms into 2 ohms amp, [4x50W into 4 ohms]. 94

 

FCM i may be wrong but most amps if you convert from 4 ohm to 2 ohm wont double your power rating. You will lose a percentage when dropping ohmage. As far as the infinity speakers they are definately a good choice. One problem with the component speakers are a metallic sound coming from the tweeter, which you can hopefully remedy by either using the switch (if provided) or placing the tweeter speaker wires in the -2db slot. This will tone the tweeter down.


The one question is will it fit without spacers.

They will not fit the oem mount without the "mounting ring", [supplied] but then I would not recommend mounting them to the oem plastic speaker housing anyway, I would recommend custom MDF housings to replace the plastic ones. 94

 

why would you go with the MDF just for added stability?

 

A speaker will always sound better mounted to wood then the same speaker mounted to just about anything else, also an MDF housing would have a lot more mass, [better bass response], and it can be made to fit the speaker exactly. 94

 

good point

So what's the better amp choice? (Note: I'll probably pick up a 10in sub).

This one would work for the high-pass and the low-pass as long as the sub you get is a 250-275 watt continuous into a 4 ohm load... http://www.infinitysystems.com/carau...er=REF&Cat=AMP 94

Sorry link will not work, it's the Infinity REF5761A a 6ch amp.
