Product Research

Features

Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each woofer uses a larger cone 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 an increase in efficiency.

Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters include the I-Mount tweeter mounting system and Starfish mounting brackets, offering multiple mounting configurations; flush-mount and surface-mount. The surface mount pods are mounted to a threaded, hollow shaft and have a ball-and-socket joint, so they can be turned in any direction, and angled to approximately 40˚:

  • I-Mount: 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 housing and plastic locking nut. Once a cutout is made, the tweeter is installed in the flush-mount adapter, then into the flush mount housing and 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:
    • Bottom Mount: 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.
    • Surface Mount: Once the Starfish bracket is trimmed, it is screwed to the top of the mounting surface behind the grille panel. Then, the tweeter is inserted into the bracket and locked into place.
    • Flush Mount: There are two sets of tabs to flush mount the tweeter in the Starfish bracket, yielding different mounting dimensions. The upper tabs mount the tweeter completely below the opening and are glued in place. The lower mounting tabs are screwed in place and result in a mounting height just under a half inch. Once the bracket is mounted, the tweeter is inserted into the bracket and locked into place.

Tweeter Dimensions:

  I-Mount Surface Mount I-Mount Flush Mount Starfish Bottom Mount Starfish Surface Mount Starfish Flush Mount Starfish Flush Mount (below mounting surface)
Mounting Height 0.875" 0.67" 0.0" 0.88" 0.4" 0.3"
Depth screw depth 0.825" 0.93" screw depth 0.5" 0.57"
Frame Diameter 1.5" 1.845" 3.04" 2.45" 2.45" 2.33"
Cutout Diameter N/A 1.58" N/A N/A 1.51" 1.25"

Selectable Tweeter Output Level: Each crossover allows you to select the tweeter output level according to system requirements and personal preference; the tweeter level can be set to +3 dB or 0 dB.

Crossovers Connections: The crossover inputs and outputs are screw terminals; they will accommodate bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.3" wide. There are four mounting holes in each crossover.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Width: 4"
  • Height: 1⅛"
  • Depth: 3¼" (plus wire)

High-Output Design: The 3Ω voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring, extracting more power from factory (or aftermarket) receivers. This results in clearer, richer sound for the listener.

Customer Q&A

1 question already asked

Q
What size quick connectors are on the back of the 6x9, or should I just solder wire directly to the terminals?

1 answer
A
The Infinity Reference REF697CF component woofers feature a large spade connection for positive, and a smaller spade connection for negative Benjamin. The Metra Female Quick Slides in the link below are an excellent choice for connection of your speaker wires. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120FQS10PK/Metra-Female-Quick-Slides.html
