Kappa: The Essence of Infinity
This Infinity Kappa 682.9cf is the essence and trademark of Infinity car audio. With all the high-end engineering and technology that goes into each Kappa speaker, you will sure that you are receiving only the highest quality components. Made with a woven glass fiber woofer cone, which contributes to low cone flex, low distortion, and enhanced acoustic clarity. Due to the increased power handling of the Kappa series, the Kappa 682.9cf feature edge-driven MMD dome tweeters that allow for a seamless sonic integration between the tweeter and the mid-woofer. Using the latest in loudspeaker engineering, each of the crossovers has computer optimized voice-matched outboard passive crossovers for flawless performance.
Unipivot: Staging Made Easy
The Infinity 682.9cf features a patented Unipivot tweeter design that ensures proper imaging when the speakers are installed. With the tweeter capable of being moved, it is positional and rotational even after the final screw secures the speaker in the door. Since most speakers are installed low in the door, the Unipivot design brings the soundstage up to the listener for more accurate and enjoyable experience. Each of the Kappa coaxial speakers, such as the Infinity Kappa 682.9cf feature adjustable tweeter level control. This switch will adjust the tweeters output by 3 dB. That simple tuning can make all the difference in your system and it ensures that your Kappa speakers will deliver exactly the sound that you are looking for.
True Four Ohm Technology
The engineers at Infinity have developed a speaker that works for all applications. The True Four Ohm Technology used in these speakers make it perfect for running directly of a headunit or with an aftermarket headunit and amplifier. All of the speakers in the Infinity Reference line feature a 2 ohm voice coil. However, when you factor in the small OEM speaker wire of most vehicles and the heating in the voice coil during use, the impedance actually seen by the amplifier will increase. Infinity has adjusted the speaker to be safely connected to any headunit.

Bought these for my 2011 F150. They were a massive upgrade from the stock garbage Ford put in there. I'm only running them off of the factory stereo, and they are loud and clear enough to make your ears hurt.

Ordered 2 sets for my 2011 F150, front and back doors. First, hooked them up on stock head unit with no amp, and they definitely sounded much better than the stock junk speakers. Since then, I have them hooked up to an amp running about 85watt RMS to each, and they sound even better. Had them for over a year now and no complaints.

These speakers were purchased to replace a front/back set of speakers in a 99 F-250 King Cab. The speakers are being driven by a JVC KD-R810 receiver.
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_21996_JVC-KD-R810.html
The truck is like most trucks, noisy and hard on sound quality. I find these speakers to be "very" bass-y. Being bass-y is both good and bad as it's hard to find a balance between sound enhancing bass and sound distorting bass; overriding the treble.
I find the highs to be clean but the equalizer has to be carefully set so the bass-y nature of the speakers doesn't overwhelm the treble as I have old man ears (I'm 59) and typically, old men lose the highs in their hearing so the highs have to be boosted via the equalizer to compensate for this natural hearing loss.
Overall, I find these to be pricey but with a sensitivity of 94db, a response range of 40Hz - 25,000Hz, an impedance of only 2 Ohms with an adjustable tweeter, I find these speakers to be well designed and very efficient so as to assure you'll get the most out typically underpowered, in-dash receivers like the one I have.
A word to the wise, these are "STIFF" speakers to they will take some time to break-in and become flexible or responsive to the signal you're going be feeding them. You need to give them a hundred hours or so of play time before they'll loosen up and come into their own. Also, I like how well they're designed to deal with the affects of door water that typically leaks into the doorway.
Hope the above helps.

these speakers sound great.. i have them in the doors of my ranger and all my mirrors shake..ive had like 4 people ask me if i have subs behind my seat, and i dont.. i have sonys in the back and im getting rid of them and buying two more of these to replace them very soon. they are great speakers and well worth your money. i dont even have an amp pushing them. my only complaint is that it was a little tricky hooking up the wires to the crossovers. but it was worth the extra 10 min. trying to get them in good and tight. and by the way, on certain rap song, the tweeters do screech some, but its not noticeable 99% of the time.

These speaker out lasted not one, but two pairs of jl c5 components and they're a lot cheaper, bass is better and not to jinxit, but haven't yeta blown a speaker and these speakersare easily handeling 80watts rms at about 13.6v from an older, yet still kickin jbl gto amp that was initially a $600 amp so u kno it's decent. These speakersare better than jls 2010 lineup of "highend" speakers, and betterthan alpines typer comps which i killedmore than one of likethe jls. Ignore any negative reviews, quit lookin and comparing cause u gotta buy these! Jbl and infinity are my new favorites. Used tobe alpine and jl and infinity proved theyare theexception to the rule that "u get what u pay for" since these are cheap, better sounding, longer lasting and just plain amazing!! Fits in my 2010 mazdaspeed 3!
