True 4 Ohm Impedance

These speakers are specially designed with true 4ohm technology. The impedance of these speakers are 3ohms, but when you pair them with thin factory wiring, the impedance will naturally rise up to a true 4ohms resulting in a maximum amount of power draw from your 4ohm rated factory receiver, aftermarket deck, or external amplifier. What it comes down to is efficiency. If you need a speaker that will get the most out of your current sound system, the Reference X series is for you.

Plus One Cone Technology

Each of the Reference X speakers features plus one woofer cone technology. This means the cone has been designed to be slightly larger than comparable speakers, giving you even more output on the same amount of power. This drastically increases the efficiency of the speaker, and also extends the frequency response even lower to give you that nice thump you’ve been looking for.

The Reference of Audio

Want an easy upgrade for your factory speakers without going over your budget? The Infinity Reference X Series is for you. Its engineered to bring your factory audio system to life, or to add clarity and depth to an aftermarket system. With innovative, patented technologies, and the kind of premium quality and construction that you would expect from the worlds top-selling premium car speaker brand, Infinity Reference X speakers will transform your listening experience into something amazing.


The Sound of quality

Sonic Electronix, one of the leaders in car audio, recently visited Harman, the premium global audio and infotainment group, at their research and development locations in Northridge, California and Detroit, Michigan. The purpose of these visits was to utilize and combine the powerful brand of Harman and the industry leading knowledge behind Sonic Electronix to begin working together on developing future car audio projects.

Do not rush to buy it

Overall: An average speaker. Its has a pronounced top end but the midbass is lackluster.

Value: At their full price of $200+ they are not what you expect. At $150 or less they are a decent buy.

Look/Design: It includes two little Infinity ambles you can stick to your door for the OEM upgraded look. Otherwise, your average pretty speaker.

Durability: Had the reference series for the last 5 years and they stood the test of time and weather in the OEM door locations with out any issues. Considering the woofers look identical I'm expecting the same

Features: Short of the +3 db high boost, no other notable features. X-over is too large. Probably just for marketing purposes. it could be half the size.

Ease of Use: It just works. Good instructions on how to use all the attachments etc.

Good product.

I got this kit installed and tested and here is my opinion.
The good: Kit has all you need for an installation with all kinds of extras, attachments and such.
The bad: The crossover by it self is to a large degree a disappointment, in fact I had to modify it to make it in to an excellent unit.
The sound: After the modification to the crossover, this speakers sound just great.
Verdict: Even if you can't change the crossover the over all sound of the system is far superior to any other speakers I have listened to. Also the price of them is lower then other systems. A win win situation.

Awesome set!

These speakers are great. The tweeters are really good and are definitely a big jump in quality from stock. The speakers really pump out the tunes, they handle just about anything I throw at them. Great system and easy to install.
