The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. You probably spend more time listening to music in your car than in your home. Why not enjoy home speaker sound quality when you're on the road? Infinity Reference 6012i 6-1/2" speakers feature silk dome tweeters that would be right at home in your living room speakers. These sweet-sounding domes deliver crisp, clear response, yet won't fatigue the ears. The tweeters pivot, so you can direct the highs for a well-balanced stereo "sweet spot" — just like sitting in your favorite listening spot at home. Infinity designed their Plus One+ woofers with more surface area than other 6-1/2" speakers, for higher efficiency and improved bass output. A sturdy rubber surround suspends the cone in its non-resonant powder-coated steel basket. Settle into the driver's seat and make the most of your daily drive time with the exceptional sound of Infinity Reference speakers.

Features Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each speaker uses a cone significantly larger than other speakers of the same size. This is accomplished by using a unique basket design and hi-roll surround. The Plus One+ design offers greater bass output and a significant increase in efficiency. Woofer Materials: Each woofer is constructed from Injection-Molded Polypropylene. This process of cone molding assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also lighter weight and more rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response. Hi-roll Rubber Surrounds: The hi-roll rubber surrounds allow the woofers a greater range of movement, resulting in longer X-max and more bass output. 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeters (UniPivot Design): Each speaker uses a 3/4" edge-driven silk dome tweeter for smooth, accurate highs. The UniPivot tweeters are angled (non-adjustable) and may be turned up to 355 degrees for optimum imaging and in-car frequency response. Note: The tweeters are not made to turn 360 degrees. If they are turned 360 degrees or more, they will be damaged. Intermount III: Infinity's Intermount III mounting system allows the 6012i speakers to fit in 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" applications. A metal adapter ring is included with each speaker. Product Reviews Review this product Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences about this product.

They were running off of my alpine deck, I also had an alpine sub and amp in the trunk. Great speakers for the price, excellent sound. If you will be running speakers off your deck, get these, if you want to run an amp with them, look into the polk db as well as these. I just purchased another set of these for my new car which has 6.5" openings all around. Very pleased. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Decent Speaker Written By randomsuper, miami, fl on Saturday, February 02, 2008 for the money, you definately get a lot. great full range sound and good sensitivity. i have this running off the factory upgraded headunit in my 08 xb and it does what it's supposed to. you lose some bass output, but what you are left with is tight and punchy. throw some subs on and you won't regret buying these. hook them up to an amp and give them the power they really need and you'll wonder how you ever did without them. again, a decent upgrade from a factory speaker if you're looking for more clarity, not bass! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Little Speaker! Written By td11pump, Bronx, N.Y. on Sunday, January 13, 2008 I have these speakers installed in my 2006 Chevy Express Van and just installed them in my 2006 Chevy Cobalt LS. The speakers play loud and CLEAR! I also have Infinity 9613i 6x9 speakers in the rear deck and a Pioneer DEH-P3900MP head unit. I also bought the factory Pioneer Subwoofer, which sounds great! I'm pushig the whole system with an Infinity 5350a 5 Channel Amp. All I have to say is these speakers are Excellent at reproducing the mids and highs for all music! I've read that some people said that these speakers don't produce enough bass and thats true. They were NOT designed to do this! These speakers give excellent coloring and overall warmth to the whole sound system. They reproduce the sound very accurately and handle the power from the amp just fine, even at very high volume levels! If you use these speakers for what they were desinged for, you'll be very impressed and happy you bought them and for the price, they perform better than some higher priced speakers of this size!. I would highly recommend them for the true audiophile! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very nice speakers Written By Brian, Spring, TX on Wednesday, December 26, 2007 I just received these speakers for Christmas (I asked for them). I had reviewed the specs of all the speakers in the catalog, and the sensitivity rating seemed very good. I've owned numerous Infinity products, and have never been disappointed. They rock! They are hooked up to a moderate powered amp (45 Watts/channel). I was concerned after seeing several reviews that were not very good. Believe me, they are nice. I am not running them full range, so maybe that's the problem with the bad reviews. They have the bass cut out, and a sub takes care of the lows. When you have them set up like this, you can't go wrong for the price. Hope that helps. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Weaker than my cardboard stock speakers Written By Howad, San Jose, CA on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 I first installed one of these 6012i speakers on my left door and by adjusting the sound to go left or right, I can compare the 6012i to my Camry stock speaker. Here is what I found about these speakers: 1) The highs are clear. I hear instruments that I can't hear from my stock speaker. 2) The overall volume is softer. I simply call this speaker weak. 3) Many people are right. The speaker lacks bass. Of course you can hear some and you can increase the bass by adjusting the headunit. However, at the same volume, it puts out less bass and become easily distorted at high volume. Overall, I am very unsatisfied. It doesn't give me as full sound that I am getting with my stock speakers. I will definitely return these. Save your money and look for something else. 2 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Worse than the garbage stock speakers. Written By Knightmare, Syracuse, NY on Monday, October 22, 2007 I installed these in my 2005 Subaru Legacy Limited, and tried them in the front and rear doors, they replaced teh factory speakers, that were made of paper, plastic basket, and tiny magnets, they were one way speakers. Well they sound horrible and unclear but at least there is some lows and mids. These Infinities sound like alarm clocks, no real lows, weak mids, and decent highs, its very very poor sound. Sounds like its outputting everything at the same frequency, im returning these and am gonna try some different speakers. I went with Polk components in the front and those kick if you hook them up correctly. Cant recommend these at any price. 1 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good value Written By Will, Albuquerque, NM on Friday, October 19, 2007 These speakers are hooked up to my Kenwood head unit without an amp. They produce much better sound than the factory speakers, but don't sound as good as their big brothers, the Kappas. But for the price you really can't complain. The silk tweeters produce a more natural, less harsh sound than many high end speakers, which I like. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I mounted these speakers in the overhead sound bar on my 1995 Jeep. They sound great with my Infinity 7540a 4 channel amp, which is rated at 111 watts per channel.

Written By Stephen, Beaverton, OR on Monday, April 30, 2007 Exactly what I was looking for in a speaker: High sensitivity rating for use with headunit's internal amp, made by a brand I trust, good reviews...The only odd thing with these speakers is that, out of the box, they sounded a little off in the low end. It sounded like I was driving them into clipping even at low volumes on drum hits (like a "Pup-Pup-Pup" noise). I turned on the high-pass filter on my new unit to unload the low end and figured I needed a subwoofer if I wanted more bass. Now, after a couple weeks of breaking-in, they sound way better in the low end and I am no longer afraid to turn 'em up with the HPF off! If you find yourself in a similar situation, give them a few weeks to loosen up before you consider returning them. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
