Features
Plus One Woofer Cones: The Plus One speakers use cones more surface area than
other speakers of the same size. This is accomplished by using a new basket
design and hi-roll surround. The Plus One design offers greater bass output and
a significant increase in efficiency.
Woven Glass Fiber Woofer Cones: This woven-glass-fiber material is very light and extremely
stiff, minimizing cone flex. This results in very low distortion and improved
clarity. The woofers have set screw input terminals that will accept up to 10
gauge bare wire.
Woofer Size: This component set is marketed as having 6-1/2" woofers;
they will fit in standard 6-1/2" speaker openings, but do not use the standard
6-1/2" speaker bolt pattern. In order to install them in standard 6-1/2" speaker
openings you must drill new screw holes. If new holes are drilled in the
mounting surface of the car, no bracket need be used. If drilling in the car is
not an option, the flange on the included metal bracket is wide enough to
accommodate new holes being drilled; either in a standard 6-1/2" three hole
pattern or a Ford non-symmetric four hole pattern. When using the bracket the
depth becomes 2.279" and the mounting height becomes 0.651".
Edge Driven UHF Dome Tweeters:
Each speaker has an Edge-driven UHF dome tweeter. The
benefit is increased power handling and reduced distortion at high output. This
technology also allows for better integration with the mid/woofer. The tweeter
wire terminals are set screws, tightened using the included 1mm Allen wrench;
they accept bare wire up to 14 gauge.
High-Output Design: The
high output 2-ohm voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance
of small gauge factory wiring and extracts every watt from factory receivers, increasing overall system output and efficiency (relative to
4 ohm speakers). The speakers also benefit from increased power when you upgrade
the wire and add aftermarket amplifiers, designed to power a 2-ohm load.
Crossovers: Kappa speakers include computer-optimized, voice-matched crossovers,
using audiophile quality air core inductors and polypropylene capacitors. The crossover slope is 18 dB/octave.
Each crossover has a tweeter output switch; choose between flat and -6dB.
Crossover Connections: Each
crossover has set screw input and output terminals that will accept up to 10
gauge bare wire.
Crossover Dimensions:
- Length: 4-3/4"
- Width: 3-1/2"
- Height: 1-3/8"
Tweeter Mounting: The I-Mount tweeter mounting system and Starfish
mounting brackets give you several different ways to mount the tweeters:
- I-Mount Tweeter Mounting System: The tweeters can be surface or
flush mounted with Infinity's innovative I-Mount system:
- Surface Mount: Surface mounting the tweeters involves
screwing the surface-mount cup to the mounting location, then inserting
and locking the tweeter into the cup.
- Flush Mount: Flush mounting is made easy through the use of
the threaded flush-mount adapter and plastic locking nut. Once a cutout
is made, the flush-mount adapter (with the tweeter installed) is
inserted into the hole. The large plastic locking nut is threaded onto
the adapter (from behind the mounting surface) to hold the complete
assembly securely in place. When flush mounted, the tweeters may be
angled for optimum response and imaging.
- Starfish Mounting Brackets: The Starfish mounting brackets allow
the tweeters to be installed in factory locations behind the grilles:
- Surface Mount (behind grille panel): Once the Starfish
bracket is trimmed, it is screwed to the mounting surface behind the
grille panel. Then, the tweeter is inserted into the bracket and locked
into place.
- Flush Mount (behind grille panel): Once the Starfish bracket
is trimmed, it is dropped into the cutout in the mounting surface behind
the grille panel. Then, the tweeter is inserted into the bracket and
locked into place.
- Bottom Mount (to grille panel): Once the Starfish bracket is
trimmed, it is secured to the underside of the grille panel. The tweeter
must be inserted into the bracket and locked into place before the
bracket is mounted.
- Flush Mount (in-dash location): Once the Starfish bracket is
trimmed, it is dropped into the cutout in the dash. Then, the tweeter is
inserted into the bracket and locked into place.
