Our take on the Infinity Reference 6012si

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 6012si 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.

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. And the 6012si requires less mounting depth than most other 6-1/2" models, so it can fit into more vehicles.

Settle into the driver's seat and make the most of your daily drive time with the exceptional sound of Infinity Reference speakers.

Highlights:

  • 2-way car speakers for 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" locations
  • Plus One+ poly woofer cone with hi-roll rubber surround
  • 3/4" silk dome tweeter
  • power range: 2-50 watts RMS (150 watts peak power)
  • shallow mounting profile
  • frequency response: 53-21,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 92 dB
  • Intermount III mounting system for fit in 6-3/4" openings
  • top-mount depth: 1-15/16"
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

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: Each speaker uses a 3/4" edge-driven silk dome tweeter for smooth, accurate highs.

Intermount III: Infinity's Intermount III mounting system allows the 6012si speakers to fit in 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" applications. Metal and plastic adapter rings are included for each speaker.

Infinity Reference 6012si - The best for the price

I bought these speakers to replace my 4 stock speakers. I can now hear the Music that I have been missing for so long in my Honda Pilot. Now I can hear the highs and the lows. And long drives is less tiring while listening to the music I like with the Infinitys.

With proper tools and following instructions from Crutchfield, install was easy with minor adjustments on the fit. But once I was able to figure out how to install the first speaker, the remaining three speakers was just a breeze.

Installed these in my wife's 2001 S10 Blazer, both front and back. It was a bit tricky wrt drilling out rivots of the OEM mounts in the front, but this was pointed out to me before I bought them by Crutchfield. Once we got by that, installation was a breeze. Thanks to the tip here on using metal mounting ring for rear installation. That sure made it go a lot easier.

The sound quality is ten fold better than the original manufacturers speakers. I am using these Infinitys with the KENWOOD MP2032 Deck. These speakers are an excellent buy for the money!

I just bought a used 98 Honda CRV, and the first thing I had to do was get rid of the factory paper cone speakers! Bought 2 pairs to replace the front and rears. Wow, what a big diference! The highs are crystal clear and the bass is way better, but not gut wrenching. If you're looking for really deep bass then consider a powered subwoofer, not just for these speakers but for most 6 1/2's. As for the install, something the mastersheet does not mention is that for a 98 CRV you MUST USE THE MOUNTING RING in order for these speakers to fit! The factory speakers have 3 holes while these have 4, and they don't line up. Once the ring was in place all that was needed was the 4 really tiny screws that came with the speakers. All in all I'm very satisfied with the sound!

These speakers RULE. Great sound, great BASS against what a lot of people say. Put in my front doors of my MITSUBISHI. Also have a pair of the 6012i in my Jeep they rule. Infinity makes the best!!! Great Deal.

I replaced the factory speakers in the back side panels of my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Infinity speakers. What a difference. These speakers give great high end sound and surprisingly nice bass for the size of the speaker. I would recommend this speaker to anyone who is needing to upgrade from a factory speaker. It was a great buy and I will continue to buy Infinity products.

Crutchfield Customer Review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

 
I installed these speakers in my 2000 Honda Accord sedan to replace the factory door speakers. It made my driving commute more enjoyable since these speakers really brought out the accuracy of the sound. I can't wait till I replace my factory rear deck speakers with Infinity 6X9 speakers to improve the bass. I would recommend these speakers to everyone, they really sound awesome.

The only problem I had was the Crutchfield MasterSheet installation procedures for 2000 Honda Accord Sedan front door speakers is incorrect. Instructions for taking off the door panels is right on, but was told to modify the Honda speaker bracket to make these speakers fit which seems impossible because the speaker is larger than the bracket itself, so I ended up drilling new mounting holes in door and mounted speakers directly onto the door itself. It was worth the extra work and time for these speakers and I didn't have any interference with window or anything else.

These speakers fit great into the OEM mount in my 2001 Subaru Legacy using the included adapter rings. Install was a breeze since there was no need to cut the mount or install baffles.

I also highly recommend the OEM Subaru subwoofer (not available from Crutchfield, but you can find it online) in conjunction with the bass blockers available from Crutchfield. I am very happy with the quality sound I have with this setup and the top notch service.

Great mids/highs

I got these speakers for my 78 Ford F-150 which had a single center speaker and AM radio. I put these in the doors and hooked them up to a Pioneer DEH-P3500 (22 watts x 4). I have had them for a couple weeks and they sound great! The mids and highs are clear but the bass is lacking (but I got some Kicker 6x9"s for that).

Great quality at a good price. Will eventually want to hear how they sound with an external amp.
