I have blown my rear speakers, I'm guessing a combonation of cold and loud music, anyway I'm getting new ones. I'm either getting Kenwood eXceleons or Infinity Kappas. I have Infinity Kappa Perfects up front and an Infinity sub in the back and a Kenwood eXceleon X-869 head unit.

Here are the two speakers I have in mind:
Infinity Kappa 63.5I 6.5" speaker

Kenwood eXcelon KFC-Xr601 6.5" speaker
(http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...=0&cc=01&avf=N)

 

imo go with cdt cl6x. they are $45 and are perfect for rear fill. but out of the 2, i choose infinity. are you running an amp to the back speakers?

 

if u'll get infinity get them on e-bay much cheaper just buy from people who sell a lot meaning they are selling direct from warehouses ....

 

i'd also go with the infinity from those two choices. better yet, go listen to them both and see how you like them

 

my friend got kenwoods all around, spend a lot of money but i didn't like them and i had infinity gold in my jeep those were really good and they were worse quality than the new infinity speakers because mine came with the jeep as a gold pack....

 

I'd go with the Infinity....My friend and I recently just installed a pair of infinity reference series mids/highs in his car. Reference (i believe) is a downgrade from kappa as well.....his Reference series sounded great so i can imagine the kappa would b fantastic as well. Infinity is a great brand as well. Go w/ the infinity, deff. not kenwood.

kenwood is **** and overpriced because of the name ... IMO

 

i'd go with bostons or polks ex's before either... i've owned the references and their cone is very brittle
(had them in rear deck of my last tinted car-and the
cone shattered in 3 months- decent highs if using high pass

 

i heard that polk's are good wanted to get them before to try but didn't have the money.. but had experience with infinity and they are great ..

 

i got some bostons up front. sounds pretty good and a huge improvement to some old pioneers i had in there.

 

i still got stock pioneers all around don't have the money to spend right now maybe during summer get infinity all around?? hopefully ..

 

I'm trying Arc audio Kar 6.5's .....reasonably priced..
will post my review/comment once in on quality of sound(should have them in by end of the week)

 

im not running an amp, will that be a problem? my sub is a powered sub.

 

ooh, one more question, i have 6.5" in the back right, is 6.75" too big?

 

im sure its not.

 

I have some older Infinity Kappa 2 ways for my rears, they are 6.75 size...fit perfectly
