I would be a fan of the Infinty Kappa, 2-ways.

Damn they are crystal clear....

4x6 are under the dash, 2,3,4 way, just means how many more little speakers are built into it, example, 2way has the woofer type part, and then a smaller tweeter in the middle, to me its just a gimick, buy what sounds good to you, just stay away from sony and jensen

I had the green Infinity Kappa 3 ways awhile back and wasn't all that impressed. I like my Pioneer 4 way speakers better, and they were cheaper. My sugestion would be to go and listen to different speakers in the same price range and see which ones you like best.

No, that is the Reference Series. A lower cheaper model. It still works good, just not as good as the Kappa's


I believe thoes are 3-ways also. If you are planning on having subs in the back, I would seriously consider getting 2-ways.

You can get the 3-way Infinitys, they are good. I used to have them, until I upgraded to the Kappa's.

I would suggest sticking with the same speakers. Otherwise the sound may be off.

Try www.ikesound.com they have really good deals on the speakers you are looking at.
