I have a pair of infinity kappa 62.5i component speakers. I bought them new off of ebay for 60. They are excellent with a decent amplifier. Their ratings are:
75 x 2 @ 4 ohms
I would suggest the 2007 Infinity kappas but they are 2 ohm impedence. In this case I would get the 2007 Infinity kappa Perfect 6.1 speakers. They are new for 400 on car domain or they are new for 200 on ebay ( buy it now ). These speakers would be killer considering that these have 25 more watts @ 4 ohms each than mine and mine aren't perfects, and mine are awsome.
The perfects specs are:
6-1/2" Anodized aluminum woofer with butyl rubber surround
1" Anodized aluminum dome tweeter
2-way external crossover network (3500 Hz at 24 dB per octave)
Power Handling RMS:100 Watts
Power Handling Peak:400 Watts
Sensitivity:90dB
Frequency Response:75-23,000 Hz
Top-mount depth: 2-5/8" |

its at 50 dollars right now with $9.00 s&h with no bids.. you might end up getting it for around 50 - 80.

In case you couldn't tell I use ebay alot. You can get the greatest things there and spend half as much.  |

I can definately say that Infinity kappa is GREAT if not the best Bang for the buck. But I also know that for that much, you might hage people tell you to look to CDT, or DLS, maybe even Phoenix Gold. But inf are nice, smooth, and natural. IMO a lil weak on the mids, Super harsh tweeters, and a lil too neutral in sound for most preferences. Whats your primary genre of music, maybe you can get a set appropriate for the application. Vehicle , setup, sq, slq, etc . .. ? And ebay is great for prices, but I belive the warranty goes out the window, but at 60 bucks for a set of Kappas, its kinda worth the risk (lol). |

Good midbass can't be had from the perfects. They have an over emphasis on the higher end midbass to compensate for lack of depth. If you want a good midbass component setup you'll need to save a little more money and also make sure you have a good install for it. Deaden your doors well or else nothing will make it better. |

infinities sound good for most types of music, but need an eq to cut the 200 hz - 350 hz down a bit. |

i listen to mostly rap and some techno and rock and the midbass is very demanding and my 12.1 kappa perfects deffinately do not as well in the 80+ hz range. my amp is 125 x 4 rms at 2 ohms and 75 x 4 at 4 ohms
the kappa perfects, would they mesh well with my 12.1 perfects?? im looking for some poretty good thump in the 80hz plus range as well as good sq throught the whole range.
1000 rms worth or sub bass was a little too much imo and just completely drowns out everything else but at least it sounds clean. now im really just looking for somthing the keep up with my beautiful subs. |

don't go for any infinities for midbass...i own their 5.1, 6.1, 6x9, and 6.5" coaxial, and only the 6x9 puts out good solid midbass, but you sacrifice a bit of sq for it...
midbasses are a weird speaker honestly. I have seen many companies like image dynamics and mtx just use the regular component speaker and just cross it @ low pass 250 hz. Try going in the direction of a speaker made for midbass like adire's old koda midbass or kicker's ssmb6 |

well i just fryed my sub amp so im not going to be pushing an amp on my speakers until i can make up the $140 its going to cost me for the repair. but i will probly get some 125rms 2ohm mid/sub bass drivers for my rear shelf. and then just save for the PG 8.0:4 to power everything inside later maybe grandma will buy one for me for christmas. |
