Features
Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each speaker uses a cone 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 an increase in efficiency.
Angled Tweeter: The tweeters are mounted at an angle (fixed), so they can be directed toward the listeners to improve imaging.
Tweeter Level Control: A switch on the front of the tweeter allows you to boost the tweeter output to +3dB, useful if the speakers are mounted low in a door where high frequencies are easily absorbed.
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.

Can the Pioneer DMH-W3000NEX handle these speakers? I'm new to car audio, thx.

Greetings Lance. Thank you for your question. Infinity speakers are true 4 ohm. What does that mean really. Well they are 3 ohm, but speaker wire also adds resistance, so at the end of the day the stereo sees 4 ohms. It is safe to run the Infinity speakers even with most any factory radio.

Q
Do these even come with grills?

Hey William, since speaker grilles tend to not be used in most speaker installs, Infinity chose to leave them out of the box but they do sell them separately if you have a build that needs grilles:

Hi what is the main difference of this and 9632ix? Can this fit my chrysler town and country 2013 at the rear im worried about the depth

Greetings Samson. Thank you for your question. There is not much difference at all. One is current, the other has been discontinued. The REF697F is slightly deeper, but all the important specs are dead on. Fitment wise for the 2013 Town and Country they are 4/10ths of an inch too deep. Shimming them away from the door structure will make them too tall to fit under the factory grilles. If you don't mind a little custom work, you could get them to fit.

Q
I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer, non bose factory sound system. Would I be able to notice a big difference in sound without an amp?

Greetings Alexis. Thank you for your question. Big difference, no, but these are better sounding speakers than the very inexpensively made factory speakers. Where you will notice the biggest upgrade will be on the upper end. Clearer highs and more detailed vocals.

Amazing the difference from the factory Bose. 2025 gmc serria. The factory bose has alot lower tone almost muffled. These are crisp and clear i am running the factory amp at the moment. They are not very much louder but do sound much better.
