Greetings, in short, I want to replace the front stock speakers. Original budget around $150
I narrowed down to two: Infinity Kappa vs Pioneer REV, powered by HU
REV got lots of praises in the forum, the only concern I have is whether HU is enough to shine the 91dB speakers.
In another hand, Kappa is popular, some says harsh tweeter. Its 94dB sensitivity will help when powered by HU.
So, which one? any advices or suggestions are welcome.
The speaker will be powered by Kenwood KDC-MP532U HU, (MOSFET 22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels). no seperate amp.
The car is 96 grand marquis, 5x7/6x8 front, 6x9 rear I believe.
I did some research, candidates are listed below. Any advices are appreciated.
