Default Infinity infinity Kappa 63.9i

Pretty much Infinity's highest speaker besides going component



6-1/2" three-way loudspeaker with Plus One woven glass-fiber woofer cone and edge-driven MMD dome midrange and UHF tweeter.

• Plus One woofer cones - This patent pending technology deliver a cone with more surface area than competing models of the same size. The result is increased bass output and higher efficiency.
• Edge-driven MMD dome midrange - These are not commonly used W-domes, but fully edge driven domes like those found in fine home audio loudspeakers. This much larger voice coil increases power handling and provides better sonic integration with the mid-woofer.
• Woven glass fiber woofer cone material is extremely stiff, minimizing cone flex which yeilds very low distortion and improved clarity, an Infinity trademark.
• True Four Ohms— All Kappa speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance “seen” by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Kappa Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit.
• Computer-optimized voice-matched outboard passive crossovers - Each Kappa multielement and component system features an outboard crossover that has been voice-matched for flawless performance with incredible detail and accuracy.
• UHF Tweeters - To ensure response clear out to 30kHz, both three-way multielements use a UHF super tweeter.
• Adjustable tweeter level-Each Kappa multielement features a user adjustable tweeter level control. On the two-way models, simply rotate the tweeter to add or subtract 3dB output. On the three-way models, it is the simple push of a button right on the tweeter faceplate.


yadda yadda yadda.... anyways how would these be to wire to the stock on a camaro these have remote wiring or something on them.. and they are sub- $100 price range well if you look a bit MSRP is $199

They may be the highest quality speaker anywhere but they still won't be the best option for use with the Monsoon system. That's because the only two places you could fit them (doors and sail panels) aren't wired for full-range signal. The doors have component speakers with separate wiring for the mids and tweeters (high pass filtered by the amp) and the sail panels have 2-ohm subs with low-pass filtered signal.

Those things have no effect on your speaker choices because you're still using the Monsoon amp to power the speakers (except your sub). A 2-way speaker won't work any better than those 3-way speakers. You can modify many coaxial speakers to work as components by cutting the tweeter wires and connecting them separately to the factory wiring but you might want to look at something like CDT's coaxial component speakers instead.

You could use full-range speakers in the sail panels by disconnecting the hatch speakers and pulling the wires forward to the sail panels. Otherwise, you'll only get bass from that location so 2-way or 3-way speakers aren't good choices.
