brought some infinity speakers for the cab

[sheldo]

As the thread says i brought two sets of infinity kappa 507cs speakers for my cab this weekend on recomendation from ice direct. They are a straight replacement (apart from tweeter) component speaker which im having fitted next weekend.

Has anyone had any dealings with these speakers and also i was told that they needed to be run in and then amplified for the best results. Is this correct as they sounded mega in the shop on and infinity amp.

how much did they cost buddy... just looked them up on google and they look pretty cool

[sheldo]

got them for £215 a pair (managed to get £35 a off per set)

don't know but seemed like a good deal to me at them time

I have 6.5" Infinity on the rear shelf with "poseable" tweeters, best speakers I've ever had, freq response and punce/vocals is superb, had a good 100 hours running in time, warmed them up nicely

My Kappa sub (12") took a good few months to loose its hard edged sound, now its warm and drops like a champion.

Fronts need swopping out, be interested to hear what yours sound like once fitted dude

-totally agree on the amp though, headunit amps are poop, regadless of the claimed output, a lower wattage power amp soon kicks the internal unit into touch

I had a set of infinity kappa 6.5" components ( I think yours might be the newest version) they cost me £160 although I never got them fitted and ended up selling them to a mate.

Really wish I hadnt as now that there fitted, they sound awsome and thats just running through a headunit.

You can get them here too: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INFINITY-Kappa-50 ... dZViewItem

I bought some Infinity 5012i for the rear shelf from there and they arrived next day.

I've got an infinity sub too - great stuff

Really can't recommend amping up your front speakers enough... I put it off for ages, until Placey finally convinced me I had to do it... Think about the size of amp you can fit in a headunit, & then take the power figures the manufacturers supply, & laugh!

I couldnt agree more, one of the best things you can do. Headunit amps, no matter how good / expensive the headunit is, are always nothing compared to standalone amps.

yeah imdefinatley gona have an infinity amp as soon as there run in and a little 10" sub just to ad a bit of depth!

Cheers for the info guys sounds like i got decent advise
