well if they are the infinity kappa 4x6 plate 462.5cfp, they probably wont fit. i bought these for my '88 trans am GTA and ive been hacking away at the drivers side venting for about 2 hours now. the passenger side fits fine but i dont like the stock mounting. there are no screws for the 2 farthest screws...just clips. unless you are talking about the stock replacement infinitys then maybe they will. just double check the depth

The 4x6 plates may fit without mods to the drivers side. Some year Camaros it fits fine, newer and Firebirds need to have some of the plastic under the dashpad removed.

The car audio tech article on this website will answer your question.

The short answer is that the Camaros and Firebirds have different dashboards. The 82-89 Camaro dash can accomodate almost any 4x6 or 4x6 plate. The Firebird and 90-92 camaro dashes need a little bit of persuasion before they'll take a 4x6 with a big magnet.

I looked at those and the Polk GXR 4x6 2 way. The Infinitys are a little bit deeper than the Polks, and even those were a tight fit. I went with the Polks for the front and Infinity in the rear. You're going to have a make a spacer to fit between the speaker and the bracket (I didn't want to alter or change anything under the dash...i.e. hammer down the housing or vents). Some guys make a full oval out of wood or plastic, cut out in the middle for the speaker...I just cut little spacers out of wood to go under the speaker mounting hole, and above the bracket in the car (its not like they're in a sealed box or anything anyway). 3/8" thick for the drivers side and 1/4 for the passenger, if I remember correctly, was enough to keep the magnet from touching anything. You'll have enough clearance so it won't hit the underside of the dash.
