hi i am putting a new Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD into my 1983 Daytona 500 edition to replace my tired aftermarket Pioneer piece of **** which previuos owner put in.

----------
Does anyone know a good deal on Infinity speakers other than ebay?

4x6
INFINITY KAPPA 462.9cfp 4x6"

6-1/2"?
INFINITY KAPPA 63.9I 6.5"

6x9
INFINITY KAPPA 693.9I 6"X9"

 

Infinity vs Boston Acoustics

which is better?

4x6
6.5"
6x9

Infinity

INFINITY KAPPA 462.9cfp 4x6"
INFINITY KAPPA 63.9I 6.5"
INFINITY KAPPA 693.9I 6"X9"

or

Boston Acoustics

746 2-way 4"x 6" plate speaker 4" woofer, 0.75" tweeter
RX67 coax 6.5" woofer, 0.75" tweeter
RX97 3-way coax 6" x 9" woofer, 2" mid, 0.75" tweeter

 

unfortunately ebay may be your best bet. I got my 6x9s for like $30!!! (NIB TOO!!!!)

The 4x6s seem to be more expensive for some reason.

 

I have brand new infinity 5.25'' component speakers, new in box never installed or anything. $105 Shipped. Let me know if you are interested. I also have a jbl gto504 4 channel amp which would power any of those speakers you listed great! $135 shipped for that. And it is brand new as well. I need money to finish restoring my car.

 

Hey there streetworkxs Can you upload some pictures of your Infinity comp speakers? I am also planning to have Infinity speakers other than Sony Xplodes (1200).

 

Infinity Kappa is the way to go if you want them amplified, if not, I would go with Boston Acoustic probably. My experience with Infinity is go with the lower wattage ones (100-140w) for head-unit amplification, which is usually the 5.25" or so component setups, or go with the Kappa series 6x9's and amplify them with a 4-channel 400w amplifier. (or a 2-channel if you only want the rears amplified).

As a test a week ago I borrowed a friends amplifier (800w 2-channel) and amplified my rear speakers only, and the difference it made was amazing compared to headunit amplification. The sound was much more clear and the quality went through the roof, as well as the volume.

With 4x6's in the front, unless you go with a high-quality brand, they usually don't need amplified. They reflect straight off the windshield giving a direct sound feeling, which keeps the volume true instead of having to echo around the car to your ear as the rear speakers do.

Also get the foam/fiberglass backing for the 6x9's in the rear if yours is torn, this is a make-shift soft speaker box, and enhances the sound output amazingly.

 

boston acoustics
746 4x6 $100
SS95 6x9 $140

i cant find a dealer in mass that sells

INFINITY KAPPA 462.9cfp 4x6"
INFINITY KAPPA 63.9I 6.5"
INFINITY KAPPA 693.9I 6"X9"

but some told the other infinitys dont need to be amped B/As need to be

 

OFC Infinitys don't NEED to be amped, but for the full sound and usage of all the technology built into the speaker, it helps a ton.

 

I am confused who is better or are they both the same quality? nobody the sells the infinty i want in massachusetts other than ebay but no warrenty?

 

Both sound good amplified.

If you want headunit only power, they both work.
Name brand and quality, go for Infinity.

Not sure about BA, the car stereo shop I worked for didn't carry them.

All I know is our shop did not have one complaint about an Infinity system, amplified or not.

Pioneer CD-i200 iPod Interface Adapter

SiriusConnect Pioneer Package


I am looking for a digitial tv tuner and rear view camera. Does anyone Know where I could get them?

 

bump

 

 

rear view cameras are a dime a dozen. Just run the video cable to the input on the unit and tap into the reverse light power cable for power. That way it will tun on the camera when you put it in reverse and not drain the battery with a constant source or using a toggle switch.

I have Boston Accoustics front and rear BA: 746's in the front BA: in the rear

at higer volume I get a strange feedback noise

 

KITT1983 , I my self love the Infinity speekers. I've tried most other brands. and I like the well rounded sound I get from them. I am curently running these:
2- 12in Infinty reference speakers 1250 watts.
2- 6x9 Infinity reference speaker, 9612i, 300 watts.
2- 6 1/2 Infinty Kappa series 62.5i 225 watts.
I'm running the subs off a Kenwood amp, KAC-720, 920 watts.
My head unit is an old kenwood unit nothing really special.
The system has a very clear and balanced sound even when blasting it. I don't like that thow.

 

awesome
where did you mount the amp ?
do you have any photos ?

 

Here is my sub box , I didn't finish the box by covering it yet.
After I built the box I decided I wanted a bigger fuel tank, ie a 20 gallon fuelcell and need the space the sub inclosure occupies.
So I'm redesigning the whole system.

 

that is a nice sub box dude
