Help me choose... Infinity Kappa 62.5i or MBQuart DKD116
I'd like to request some advice from y'all.
I would like to upgrade my stock (non-BOSE) speakers (all four 6.5's on the doors). I ran into these two choices:
Infinity Kappa 62.5i 6.5inch 2-way @ $100/pair
here's the link : http://www.carstereomall.com/store/s...earch=inf-625i
MB Quart DKD 116 6.5inch 2-way also @ $100/pair
here's the link : http://www.carstereomall.com/store/s...rch=mbq-dkd116
For now, I plan on running them off the stock (non-BOSE) stereo, to a 4-channel Kenwood 280W (with a speaker level-converter
). Also keep the stock tweeters on the pillars for now.
Which of these two would you recommend? Or do you recommend something else? (hopefully in the same price range)
Looking for good and bad feedback.

For a better set with around the same price, try this. Ikesound
Ikesound has your other speakers as well.
Personally, I don't like either of them, but if that is your taste, try to get components instead of coaxials.

Until I saw Ikesound prices, I thought components were a little too expensive for me. I really like those MBQ DSD 216 components you recommended (for an extra $20
). If I get these, or something similar, how do you recommend I set it up? Should I get these for both front and back? I would have to find a place for the tweeter in the rear, but that's no big deal.

Personally, I would get some nice components up front, and then some decent coaxials in the back for rear fill purposes only.

My opinion on the comps is this... my choice would be Infinity reference series for the $ you want to spend. I would not go into speakers the caliber of MB Quart, Focals, CDT etc... unlesss you go for high end... but here we are talking serious cash... the "entry" level from MB etc... are not all that great but very pricey.. just MHO.
