Thinking about installing some Infinity Kappa in my system.
Rear Deck Infinity Kappa 692.9i and Infinity Kappa 62.9i Front Door.
I wanted to get peoples opinions on these speakers and if there is anything better for the money?

you buying online or in an authorized shop? how much are you willing to spend?
Kappa's are bright and can get loud. they are too bright for my tastes - all depends on what you expect.

Most likely buying online. The kappa's cost $130-180 on crutchfield, so somewhere in that price range.
What do you mean by bright?

Don't do it. Kappas have tweeters that are way too harsh, bright, over bearing. Another good reason to go to a shop and listen to speakers and ask questions. No internet shop can give you customer service like that.

Murph what speakers would you recommend instead of the kappas? I'm working the the price range of about 200 per pair of speakers but can go up a little if it will make a difference.
From reading the boards it sounds like i should probably get component's anyway. I'm now kind of leaning towards some Boston Acoustics, like the SX50 or some Alpines.

Perhaps,
Alpine SPS-600C or Alpine SPS-60 in the front.
And the Alpine SPR-69C on the rear deck.

Type S is ok but for the money Infinity Reference Series.

Really? So Kappa's are trash but the Reference line is good! Haha how does that make sense?
Is there another brand, other then Alpine and Infinity you would recommend for this general price range? Boston Acoustics SX50 seem like they could be nice but they are obviously more expensive then the Alipne's and the Infinity's.

I totally agree that Infinity Reference sounds much better than Kappa to me. The difference is in the materials used IMO.
Alpine Type-R sounds much better than Type-S.
The Boston speakers i have heard i thought were good for the money, i haven't heard their newest stuff for several months now and my memory of them is fading.
