Everybit as good as the more well known products
This came free with a bundled purchase,.. and I also purchased some Rattletrap Extreme as this wasn't enough for the car. I was expecting this to be mostly unusable due to the Name.
I was wrong.. it was every bit as good in thickness and adhesion as the more expensive brand I had bought. So if you can get this cheaper than other Sound material,.. go for it.

Good product, not the easiest
Used a few sqft of this material, along with the equivalent from Streetwires (PartsExpress) and a ton of Peal 'n Seal (Lowe's) for the rest.
I would say that Peal 'n Seal was the easiest to apply, but also the thinnest (an cheapest). So if you are doing some serious job you may want to double or triple the layers.
The NVX material was the thicker of the three I used, and once it's glued it stays soft which is very good. But beware, you will never get it off again. The only thing I would reproach is that the aluminum is quite thick, which makes it hard sometimes to comply with shapes. But it is good to fill in big gaps or openings and add some rigidity.
My preferred material is the Streetwire stuff, which is a bit cheaper. It was thick enough and compliant enough to make it really easy to install and it sticks like crazy while being forgivable if you make a mistake.
Have fun!!!

This is the first sound dampening material that I've used so far and I have to say that I am quite impressed with the product. I used it to reduce the vibrations generated from my sub at the back of my car. Since then, sound quality has improved considerably. For the price, I strongly recommend this product.

Perfect kit foe speaker installs or a single door.
This deadener works wonders for vibration and outside noise. It is thicker than Dynamat and will eliminate that horrible resonance caused by lower frequency notes transferred through sheet metal and rattles in plastic. It also improves sound quality and SPL.

Didn't see a difference for my car.
I'm sure this may have different results for different cars. I simply bought this dampening kit to fix the rattle and keep in the sound. I'll give my list of pros and cons. I own a 2000 Honda Civic.
Pros: Installation is very easy. Simply peel and apply. It's recommended to have a roller to get in the cracks (which this kit does not come with). This kit does keep in sound. Outside the car you can barely hear the audio (in terms of actual music, not bass).
Cons: This con is pretty much based on the vehicle I have. The mat did not fix my rattling problem. I placed it everywhere possible in my trunk and I still had constant rattling. Really a disappointment when that's the main reason I bought the mat for.

Quiet Performance
If you are looking to improve the response of your speakers, look no further. This material helps dampen the area in which it is installed. I placed this material in the doors of my truck which improved the sound quality in the vehicle. I would never install any speakers without this material. Install, you'll be glad you did!

Great Stuff!!
I bought a small amount of this stuff wondering how well it would work to just eliminate the rattle in my trunk lid. I drive an E30 so the trunk lid is really light and rattled a lot.
Once this stuff was on, about 90% of the rattle was gone and this was just enough to put on the underside of my trunk lid. My bass inside the cabin also seems to sound a lot more clearer too. This won me over for sure.
Can't go wrong with some NVX!
I installed it with a small floor seam roller I picked up at Sherwin Williams and a hair dryer to heat up the material a little bit to make it more malleable to fit the curves of the bracing. Super easy to install. Took me all of maybe half an hour. Just make sure to clean off your surface before installing.

What is This Stuff?
When I ordered this stuff I really did not know what it was or how to use it but it became very apparent. I cut this sheet larger than the hole for the speakers and pulled the adhesive off and stuck it over the hole then cut slices from the middle of the hole and folded it under so all edges were smooth. Installed speakers on top of this and there you have an airtight cushion that the speaker sets on top.

Great Sound Dampening Material
I used this to line the front doors of my car. It is very easy to cut with a utility knife and the adhesive is very tacky. I applied with the handle of a screwdriver which worked great. Applied around the speaker mount and inside of the door panel. Door skin is now very solid sounding and midbass also has a more solid sound. I will be purchasing a bulk pack in the future to apply to my entire vehicle.
Take note that there are other things that rattle than the metal before stating this product does not fix rattles. One, it could be that you did not apply to the area that is actually rattling. Second, be sure to wrap all wire, cables, and some mounting clips with fleece TESA tape, which is sold on this site.

Extremely pleased
To begin I will say that I'm not going to bore you with the technical aspect of these speakers. I have had these installed in my 1998 Ford Explorer XLT for several weeks, and have been very pleased with their performance. I listen to a wide variety of music (i.e. Metal, edm, rap, etc.), and they have handled them all very well. I have previously owned brands such as focal, boss, and pioneer. I have by far been the most pleased with these. Currently I am running these off the stock head unit (as I have failed to install my new kenwood stereo yet), with no amplifier. I have seen many reviews complaining about the external crossover (the large black box in the photos) being a hassle to arrange. I did not experience this issue. However, if you have these professionally installed then it should not be an issue. My advice is to Velcro it to the inside of your door frame, should you decide to do a self install, and just let it rest inside the speaker mount if yours is built in (as mine is). When I unboxed them after removing my door panel and factory speakers the original plug was a bit of a surprise. However, if you cut the plug off and strip the wires slightly, the wires install quite nicely into the crossover. All in all the speakers were easy to install, perform well, and fit nicely into both 6x8 and 5x7 mounts.

Bass-y replacement speakers.
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.

GET THESE paying more would be a waste of money you could put towards something else like proper wiring etc.

Audiophile quality for entry level price.
So far the 6*8 coaxial speakers sound great. I purchased these to go along with my front 6*8 component set in my ford focus. These are a great addition. One noticeable problem is that the tweeter was loose on one of the speakers and the only way to tighten the screw is to remove the sicker voiding the warranty. This series of infinity kappa's have very limited low end anything 80hz and below is quiet. If you adjust the bass higher on an equalizer the mids become muddy. If you plan on adding these to your car for more bass don't! You'll definitely need a sub. The quality and power handling of these is quite good but they are hungry. Factory radio power is not enough to get true definition. I have my front components currently hooked up to a 45 watt amp they sound crystal clear up until distortion. My rear coaxial are being powered by the an aftermarket pioneer head unit and they just can't keep up. I recommend you purchase an amp with these speakers.

Excellent speakers!
I admit I bought these from another retailer, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy from SE at all.
These speakers are great, and I love the off-axis tweeters. They really do help to bring up the soundstage if you only have speakers in the lower door panels and no dedicated tweeters up higher, as is the case in my Focus. The tweeters are a bit harsh though. I guess this is what some would call "bright" perhaps? They don't distort, they're just a bit "sharp". After a half hour of listening my ears would tire from the treble, and that's with the -3db attenuation on the tweeter. They have mellowed out over time a bit, but still a bit sharp.
The woofer looks awesome and is pretty stiff. It sounds worlds better than my previous OEM speakers and better than any of my peers' aftermarkets. They have a good bit of midbass, and are very smooth with a nice warm presence that seems to fill in the cracks of the music. I'm only driving them on 25 watts too, I'd love to see them with more power.
You may find it difficult to deal with the attached crossover. It's annoying, and just barely fit in my door while still clearing the window when rolled down. You might want to make sure you can fit it before you buy these.
Overall I'm very satisfied with these speakers, and I'm planning to buy the component set with silk tweeters for my Mazda 3. They're fantastic for the price.

These are some good sounding speakers, quality construction for the most part. I bought 4 for my 95 T-Bird, and although I am very pleased with the sound, I do believe I'm starting to hear a bad buzz in the front right. I haven't checked to see if it's blown or has some separation or something, but it's not sounding good. I don't play my music too incredibly loud, and the bass isn't too bad. So if this isn't something other than a damaged speaker, then i am very displeased with the quality of these speakers.

AMAZING!
These speakers are absolutely amazing! The fact that they are 2 ohm impedance should not make anyone hesitant to purchase! You get more out of your setup with a lower impedance, and by the time it travels through your factory wires you will have close to 4 ohms anyways. A must have for Ford owners since these fit!

Great Speakers
Installed these speakers in my 2004 F-150 FX4, powered by the Clarion CZ500 head unit and these speakers are great. Sound quaility clear and loud. I had a Memphis Audio system previously and these are crisper and cleaner. The tweeter adjustment is a great added bonus when you're tuning the front and rear sets. The bass is nice without adding any distortion to effect the range of sounds. The speakers needed very little adjustment to fit into the factory holes. Infinity definately lives up to it's name with these.

infinity kappa 682.9cf
This is a great speaker. My personal setup is two 6x8 infinities hooked up to a 440w amp, and two infinity 4 inch round dash speakers in a ranger. These speakers work great and are very crisp. They work great for country and classical music. I am personally going to put in a subwoofer to get the full body behind the music. If you are putting these in ranger, make sure to tighten down all of your panels and you should probably put sound deadening mat behind the speakers because there is alot of power with these speakers, they give a good punch.

These speakers fit snuggly in my Mazda 6 2006 hatchback. I hooked these up with a 500 watt 4-channel amp which in turn is connected through the speaker level inputs to the stock head unit. It must be said that the sound quality from the stock non-bose head unit is extremely poor.
The speakers are nevertheless very responsive, crisp and punchy and they stay that way at any volume. Also the ability to rotate the tweeter proved to be a very useful feature. I'm sure that with a proper head unit these speakers would really shine.

If you're not worried about bass because you have subs to add to the set up, then these speakers will do just fine for ya. I would recommend using an amp to power these speakers, especially if you're running 500W RMS or more in your subs!

Great speakers
I bought two pair of these speakers for my wife's Mustang. They fit great and sound amazing. I was surprised by the projection of the highs, and the clarity of the highs and mids. I've turned the HP filter off and they can handle 65 watts full range no problem, I tend to keep the HP on about 100hz though. I've got a Boston Acoustics GT-50 powering the speakers and sub (MTX thunderform) and it's the cleanest system I've ever put together(well until I got done with my Accord that is). I highly recommend these Infinity speakers, and might replace the Polks in my truck with them.

I've added these speakers to my new truck with my own sub. and amps. I also bought a pioneer 9500 stereo and i'm very pleased w/my new equipment.

Definitley A great buy
Add a Kappa 4 amp to it and you'll be heard blocks. My experience with Infinity, JBL, Harndon Karman Bose a like.

Dial them down on the high end....
I purchased 4 of these for the 4 positions in my F150 std cab. I found the resulting image very muddled, and WAY too bright.
With some tuning however, the results are now very good.
The short version of my "formula" is to keep the door-mounted speakers as full range, with the tweeters set to the lower output setting on the units. The rear speakers are being used as subwoofers for the moment, crossed over at 80 hz, which I can easily set up by the Pioneer head unit I have.
The muddled imaging is Ford's problem due to speaker placement, but was underscored by the much increased presence and brightness of the Kappas. I could simply clearly hear the placement distortion issues I'd always had.
The brightness is easily controlled - I think again it's a function of what vehicle these will go into. If this was a large SUV with a much bigger internal volume, and speakers mounted low on the doors, the extra tweeter output would be welcome.
You can dial down what you have to fit, but you can't dial up what's not there. No points deduction for Infinity - this only means one can arrive at crisp clean highs and mids in about any vehicle, if one takes the effort to tune the results.
These don't have a profound low end, but that is again at least partly a Ford thing. The door and rear mounts have cutouts right by them, and also scattered near them, so you can't really get much bass from any speaker. It's like a free-air mount; the back waves cancel the front to some degree as they aren't seperated, so much of the bass is cancelled.
That said, it's ok, especially with the rears at least trying to help out.
Once they get back in stock (and one day they wil...) I will add a JL Audio CP108LG-W3v3 (8" sub-in-a-box), and a RF monoblock amp for real

Great Speaker
Great speaker, awesome sound and easy installation. Just pay attention where you mount the crossover module because I mounted it in the wrong place and my window damaged it.

Cristal Clear
Paired these with a Pioneer GM-D9500F and an MTX Audio Thunderform FZX3500BK12-T45 and an older Kenwood head unit and i must say it sounds better that i planned. The reason i did this project is a friend had just purchaced a 2011 Mustang GT with the 1000 watt shaker system w/ 2x 10 sub in the trunk, it reall put my stock system to shame and made songs i wasn't that fond of sound great. Now he tells me that my new system sounds better then his!

Exceeds my expectations
I bought this pair of Kappas along with a set of JBL Power Series 5x7's for my '09 Mustang. The Kappas were installed in the front doors and the JBL's were put in the back deck. I did not want to throw a sub in my car because the trunk space is more valuable to me at this time. Putting the JBL's in the back was a good compromise.
The Infinities are very accurate producing very tight mids, highs and even some decent lows. The lows are much better than my previous Infinity Reference set though they do not vibrate the seats as much as the JBL's do in back (I tested this by fading the sound between the front and rear to single out the two pairs).
Although this is not the ideal setup, it is a good low cost alternative to getting Infinities all of the way around with a four channel amp and a single channel amp + sub combo.
The head unit that I am powering these with is the JVC KD-AHD69. The 7 band EQ along with these Kappas brings out subtleties and nuances in the music I did not hear with my factory setup or even with my other system with the Infinity Reference speakers. I imagine that with an amp, I would be able to push them to even higher volumes without distortion but even with just the head unit, they sound fantastic. As always Infinity does not disappoint with producing very clean high frequencies.

I Love Infinity Products
This set of speakers is great. I threw these into my car along with some 5x7s and hooked them up to my jvc kd-hdr50 and they sounded so crisp. I love their ability to hit every frequency from the high to the base, before i put my subs in my friend asked me if i had any with the solid base at only 20 watts rms I would totally recommend this speaker

best speaker for the money.
Replaced the stock speakers on Ford Taurus (500) premium sound system and they sound great with the factory 330 watt amp. I now get full high ranges, decent mid-range, and bass is great. The sound is clear and undistorted with a dramatic sound improvement. Would recommend these to any 5 by 7 installation system and price point is very reasonable. Compare and listen to others and these sound the best for overall clarity of accurate sound reproduction.

Infinities
Awesome speakers!!!!!! I have 4 of them in a 00 grand marquis and they sound great!

Great Speaker
This is an excellent speaker! They sound great and I love the ability to attenuate the highs. Be carefull what you power them with though. These are 2 ohm units and CANNOT be powered in the "real" world using a factory or an aftermarket head unit. These are designed to be powered by a 2 ohm stable amp only! Infinity website says otherwise but they are NOT testing "real" world conditions.

Great Value!
I bought 4 of these speakers for my 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt, and man what a difference. I hooked them up to an amp and they got even better. I would recommend this product.

Super Sounds
Very good clarity depth and range of these speakers. I have a pair of JL Audio that don't respond as well to low frequencies. Excellent Value for any installation. Can't go wrong these

Nice speakers
Bought these speakers along with an Infinity sub and all components for a complete new system. Amazing sound! Loud, clear, absolutely wonderful... especially when compared to the factory speakers I had before. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone.

Clean Sound
These speakers have great sound quality for the mid to high range and have high power handling. Another plus is that they run at a 2-ohm load so you can buy a smaller 4-channel amp and run each channel at a 2-ohm load utilizing the amps full power. I can turn up the radio and amp without any distortion. These are the second pair of Infinity Kappas I own and both are currently in use. I highly recommend these speakers if using a sub(s) for the lows and bass.

These speakers are loud! I have them wired with a kicker 350.4 giving them 90 watts rms each and they destroy! Along with my 2 kicker cvr's they create a perfect sound system with incredible highs and mids followed by bass from my subs. Even along by themselves they produce great bass. I would recommend them to anyone who wants loud music.

Great speaker
Awesome, terrific sound quality for a 2 ohm speaker. With the lower resistance, you'll get more wattage than you would with a higher ohm speaker.

excellent sound quality
i highly recommend these speakers the sound imaging is excellent and the highs are clean and crisp i am powering these with 100 watts rms per speaker and i have the low pass set at 100hz the only way to get better sound would be to go with full components but that wasnt an option in my application. the speakers these replaced were boston pro series and they couldnt even hold a candle to the sound and performance of these speakers.

nice
Good speakers, not much better than my factory's but a good price for a pair of infinites. Running them with a jvc avx77 in a 2k Lincoln LS, plan to install an amplifier as well, nice highs and decent lows.

good sound
Had to get these becuase the tweeters came in too big on the components. Nice sound handles good power.

infinity
I have them on a Kicker 850.4, and they sound great. Don't take bass that well, but on HP they are the best. With a sub, it's the best, but after a year the speaker will break down. Most of the time, it's the tweeter. I get a set about every year and a half. The sound is clear as it can get. I had Kicker, Pioneer, Sony and this is the best and clearest speaker.
