Matching an amp with two pairs of Infinity Kappa 652.9i's

[FunkMcOwnage]

I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in my '95 nissan maxima. I know the front door panels take 6 3/4" speakers because I've replaced them once before. Sonic Electronics says the rear deck has 6 3/4's aswell so it looks like I'll be getting two pairs of 'something'. I like the specs of the Infinity Kappa 652.9i's. Any feedback on these speakers or any other infinity speakers would be appreciated.

The amp I've picked out is this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_37751_Pioneer-GM-6500F.html

It looks like the right amp for the job. 85w RMS @ 2ohms (the speakers are rated at 75w RMS @ 2ohms). I'm very close to placing the order! What do you guys think? I'm pretty confident this will be a pretty badass mids/highs setup for my first install. The bass will come later Any feedback or suggestions on this setup would be appreciated.

the only infinities i had where these Infinity Kappa 60.9cs

i liked them, they sounded good. But for me anyways i wanted louder, i actually just sold both sets for $125 shipped last week

for the amp i would go alittle bigger so that if u do upgrade u dont need to buy another amp

I think that if i did decide to upgrade later on I would probably just sell the speakers and amp together. Would the infinities and the Pioneer be a good choice compatibility-wise though?

if you haven't purchased the pioneer amp already , i recommend buying a infinity 4ch amp either a kappa or reference series ... you'll thank me later

I don't doubt that an infinity amp would be a better purchase. The only one that matches my needs is 90w RMS x4. Will this damage the speakers at high volume since they're rated for 75w each?

It isn't much more expensive than the Pioneer, so I wouldn't mind dropping the extra $30 on it.

your speakers will be fine , the kappa's series speakers love a little extra power that's where they shine.

Just set your gains right.

I think I'll be placing the order this weekend since I get paid on friday. Thanks for the help fellas.

Infinity kappa four would be perfect.

I wound up getting those speakers and the 475a amp. I posted my build log here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127707-95-nissan-maxima-build-log-2011/
