Infinity Kappa 6.27i tweeter level switch? Just soldered up the first Infinity replacement for my
car and found the tweeter has a 0 / +3dB (what hype,
it can only attenuate, or not, by the resistor; I guess
-3dB / 0 isn't as "sexy") switch in the tweeter cover.
Anyone who's played with it, which is a better "natural"
fit to the rest of the system, for that setting? Just
looking to avoid pulling the door panel twice.

I set mine for 0db but they still made my ears bleed. 
Now, I didn't have a sub and I replaced both the fronts and the sails with the Kappa's but after about 60 miles I decided to gut the whole system and sold the Kappa's. Again, with a sub maybe they wouldn't have sounded as bright but holy cow were they bright without a sub!

I have the 6.37's in my blazer along with matching 5 1/4 in the rear doors.I can't really notice a difference,maybe its because they are down by my feet.Or maybe its the 2 type r 12's and 2000 watts rms hifonics that drown them out .I have all 4 infinitys ran off a hifonics zxi 6406 (170 watts rms x 4 @ 2ohms) and I LOVE IT.

I put the one in at the 0 setting and it's still plenty
"bright". Might ought to put another ohm or two in
line with it just to settle it down. Next time I'm in
there. For now I think I'll just turn down the treble.
Sure does cut through the wind noise better though.
