I'm upgrading from my 17 y/o factory speakers and I can't decide between 2-way Orion C-series speakers or Infinity Kappas. I listened to the Orions at an audio store and they sounded great. I have yet to listen to the Infinitys, but I constantly hear outstanding reviews on them. Anyone have experience with either? The biggest difference I see between the two is that the Infinitys handle more power, but I seriously doubt I'll ever need to run 330W through one speaker.

On a side note. I tried hooking up a different 6x9 that was lying around, didn't work, put the old one back in and that one then didn't work. I was told that the power/channel diode or something in the wire had probably died from trying to install a shorted speaker. Anyone heard of this? If so, how do I fix it?

 

I am a HUGE fan of infinity kappa's.. their clarity is unmatched for the dollar value in my opinion. the only other speakers I've personally heard (and bought) which sounded better were A/D/S 320is and 325is series.. but at that time they were higher priced and have since risen considerablly more!

 

go for infinity i think they sound way better at least they did 5 years ago lol

 

infinitys are better subs.


as for the speakers not working, you might have to run new speaker wire. try that.

 

ive ran infinity kappa 10"s and i liked them alot.

 

Well I picked up the Orions yesterday, all stock sizes. They tried to get me to do kick panels, but I didn't want to spend the money to buy them nor the time to try to make them (maybe later down the road). I liked how they sounded in the store and in the vehicles I heard, so I went with them. No place near me sold Kappas or I would have listened to them too. We'll put them in tonight so I'll let you know what I think of them. Thanks for the help.
