Infinity speakers are only good at low volumes, if you like me have times when you wanna play your tunes at loud volumes, these speakers are crap. Trust me don't listen to people who recommend these speakers.

If I were you I'd go for Alpine type Rs or Type Ss, I soon be running to sets of these in each door build (currently in the process of making).

Now these speakers sound so wicked, the detail is out of the world for the money. They play excellent at low or high volumes. I would never use anything else. The only speakers better then these are the Alpine Type Xs, but at £240 their abit pricey.

Others speakers I rate are: Kenwood (give better mid than the alpines, but less tops), Pionner (abit to bassy for my liking), JL audio, Phoenix Gold, Rockfords (very similar sound to the alpines, pricey tho).

Hope this helps

plank!!! hmmmm.... bin the car audio 4 many years I've heard alot of speakers, so I speak from experience. My personal taste in music is very wide, using alpines have neva failed to amaze me. Infinitys r not my cup of tea, their not in the same class as the alpines. I'd compare them 2 diamonds, or DLS, neither of which like to be played at stupid volumes.

I've had alpines in all my motors, people can't believe the clarity thru all volumes!! both SQ & spl users have bin left speechless at the sound stage.

Remember one thing amps have alot to do wid it!!!

Infinities are ok if you like your ears to bleed at higher volumes  :laugh:  :shocked:
There are plenty more speaker makes out there 1 Lp,  I could name a few others that would be just as good if not miles better but you may not have heard of them  :wink:
Alot of the time it's how you install it. I've heard some cheap systems that sound great. If it's pooly installed it will generally sound crap. I could put a set of £2000 Brax components running off one of their stupidly expensive amps and it would sound crap, I could then put some budget range JBL components in and install them properly being aimed correctly etc and they would sound miles better.

apline (subs) didnt do it for me. JBL's are my favorite subs now. Ive come by alot of audio and infinity are good for mid range and tweets imo.

Infinity are far from crap guys, their Kappa series are good and some of their subs are very nice it's just the speakers i've heard are a little on the harsh side.
