Check these 2 ohm Infinity Kappa Sail Panel Replacements! Infinity Kappa 62.7i
Ok so here's another 2 ohm replacement option, this time it's the sails! Just thought I'd share with everyone, they're decent speakers for those of us who don't wanna spend too much! The only thing I'm curious about is if you will get the full range out of them on the monsoon system or if there is a crossover to the rears that block out your highs...

I actually used them to replace the stock set-up. Their okay for bass. Not a bass speaker though. They sound great in the sail panels. Maybe a little poly fill will help make them sound a little beefier. Are you just replacing these speakers or are you installing more of a system? If you deside to install a sub these are great for you mid to high range.

As stated before, I don't care for subs and whatnot... Too much noise and too much negative attention (i bet you can guess what i'm talkin about! hood rats....)
The reason I thought these would be a good choice is their 2 ohm impedence. That means as far as output goes, it should be just as loud as the stock setup, and probably clearer sound.
But can you tell me if I'll get highs at all through the rear or all the high frequencies cut through a Xover in the sail panels? I know the stock setup, all i hear is bass and mids through the sails.

The Monsoon amplifier has a low-pass crossover that filters out highs on the sail-panel speakers, and a high-pass filter on the rest of the speakers. Even though those Infinity speakers have tweeters, all you will hear from them is bass. I don't know how much in comparison to the stockers though. Good find for those that want to replace their beat stock speakers with aftermarket ones, and keep the Monsoon.

OK so I got one side in today, it was kind of a bitch cuz you don't have alot of room to work with...
The speaker itself was a DVC speaker (sorta) it has seperate tweeter leads and woofer leads. I guess that's how the 2 ohm load is created. this would be a GREAT speaker the camaros since I think y'alls fronts are setup like that as well.
I'm just using them for bass in the sails and from what I can tell they hit about as hard, maybe a little less. A little bit tighter bass sound, and definitely less distortion with the volume up. Most like won't blow either (like my stocker did dammit...)
Obviously the tweeter is useless, but i wasn't thinking about it and was wondering if I should hook up the crossover to it to protect it from the lows. Or would yall think the lows are too far out of the tweeter's frequency range to even matter...
All in all it was a good buy, $100 shipped off ebay, brand new
Waiting on components for the fronts...

For the sail panels, I see no reason to hook 'em up to the cross overs, so long as you're not wiring anything to the tweeter terminals (yellow and green).
