I am not using the factory infinity amp to run these. I have replaced it with two alpine MRP-F300 amps. The sound, running off of the factory amp was better, but not great. I just replaced my stock speakers in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee limited with these. The sound is great; crisp highs, warm vocals, and lots of bass. that is to be expected with any after market speaker up-grade.
Lots of squeaking about the fact that they are 2 ohm. If you have a factory bose premium sound system and are looking to keep the factory headunit you do want 2 ohm and these are the perfect replacements for the stock bose paper cone speakers.
Not as good as I hoped only a marginal improvement over the factory speakers. Good for mid range sound, and acceptable sound quality for the low and high notes.Infinity Kappa 692.7i 6"x9" 2-way car speakers
This 2-ohm design, on the other hand, is superior to the OEM Bose and perfectly matches the amplifier load. Using 4-ohm speakers to replace those Bose speakers would result in uneven sound at best, far shy of the cheap Bose speakers when new. Infinity produces very high quality speakers to suit most situations. As the first poster stated, the vast majority of stereo head units and amplifiers are designed to drive a 4-ohm load, so unless you sure you have one of those rare units designed for 2-ohm loads, these speakers are not for you.These 2-ohm Kappa 629.7i speakers are, however, a perfect drop-in replacement for those saddled with the Bose "Premium" Stereo Head Units and Amplifiers which are designed to drive the Bose Paper-Coned 2-Ohm speakers. Highly recommended replacement if you wish to keep the head unit and amplifier stock, which can indeed produce good sound if matched to the proper speakers.
You do not risk damaging anything using these without an amp or with a factory head unit. Most OEM decks and factory speakers are 2 ohm, NOT 4 ohm. Do not listen to the information in the previous review. It is terrible information. Just wanted to clear that up.
