    I've got those same Infinity Kappa 6x9's and they sound phenomenal. They are also incredibly reasonably priced. Plus the 2 ohm impedence gets the most out of your amp. Definitely highly recommend them over the Fosgates.

      How is the bass on the Kappas, I won't get the coaxials, I need the components and love the 2.5ohm, but worry about lows as it is a SQ speaker. I'll be putting 100W RMS into it, or a bit more, at 2.5ohm.

      It wasn't a fair comparison at all. Should have been Infinity Kappa vs Fosgate Punch. Prime is fosgates budget line

      @@krowwithakay what's funny is that neither speaker was getting much rms power, there was no cone movement at all. meaning the higher sensitivity lower rms fosgate actually had the advantage in this test, even if you don't realize it. The test would be unfair if you gave them both their rated rms power. Then that fosgate would sound decent on 30 watts and that Infinity would sound like a whole goddamn orchestra on 100-120 watts. The fosgate couldn't even take 120 watts rms, it would just blow in about 30 seconds. People thinking a 200 dollar set always sounds better than a 50 dollar set is a very common mistake. A 50 dollar 40 watts rms set on a small amp will sound much better than a 200$ 200 watt rms set that's only getting 15 watts from a crap factory radio. It's not always about how much something costs as much as it is about proper power and tuning.

    Infinity speakers are the best car speakers hands down. It's also 2ohms, the majority of car factory amps push out 2ohms, so you would get the most power if you're not installing an amp. I own 4 of the infinity 693.11 for 4 years. I'm pushing 200w rms after market amp with no problems. The tweeter High and Low button is great Low highs in the from High Highs in the back. ( They are installed in a 16' Chrysler 300c. I also have the Infinity Ref-3022CFX in the dash, A qbomb ported sub box with a Skar Audio Single 12" 1200W D2 VVXv3 sub).

    Something to keep in mind with all those Infinity and JBL composite molded plastic frames (which is fine for the audio characteristic) ...the mounting hole lobes at each corner have the tendency to break apart during install and removal, making them hard to reuse in future vehicles.

      Love these videos for sure, but surely the people hating on the fosgates have to understand that this is absolutely not even a real comparison right? Close to top shelf infinity with bottom of the barrel fosgates, obviously the infinity will murder them with power. For 40 dollars those rockfords are absolutely incredible. Maybe a comparison of the infinity primus and the rockford power? Level out these foolish comments a tad 🤣

Fyi, the boxes he runs the speakers in kills the bass response. They produce way more bass in a car door or rear deck with no box.
