[QUOTE="zako, post: 7533405, member: 629735"] I never heard any of Kappa speakers, but their components have a reputation of sounding harsh at higher frequencies, and these plates look like their speakers were made from the same materials. This could actually work to your advantage if these Infinity speakers are installed off axis. For on-axis, I'd try something else. If you plan to rely on a subwoofer to fill the mid-bass frequencies, I'd suggest to look for a relatively high fidelity subwoofer with ultra-low inductance. Average car subs, even some really good ones can't play midbass cleanly or loudly. Look at subwoofers like Dayton Reference HO and HF, Peerless XLS/XXLS, JBL WGTI, or something in the same class. Infinity Kappa subs also have somewhat low inductance and tight sound. Low inductance seems key here. Something like 0.5-0.75mH or less per ohm of subwoofers impedance would be great. PS: didn't notice you already have a sub.. [/QUOTE]
