I bought 2 sets of Inifinity 2 way speakers w/ adjustable tweeter.... for the front and back. Now i'm starting to wonder if I should of gotten the front component speakers. Will these speakers coupled with the stock tweeters be far too much highs? Im thinking about returning the fronts and getting rockford components. Im also gonna install a sub so I know i'll have enough lows. Thanks

I vote for the comps.

A set of mids/tweets with a specific x-over designed for the drivers would be best. Too many tweeters=staging issues.

I have comps and tweets in my XB and it sounds sweet :D

Multiple tweeters = too much.

Tweeters are not cowbell, there is a such thing as too much tweeter.

There is no such thing as too much cowbell.

^^ Most def! You can't beat the quality of sound from a great set of comp's. G/L

Depends on the install... I have the CDT ES-643 running with HEX-OX xover and upstage tweets installed on the a-pillar... sounds great!

I just completed my speaker upgrade. I will post that somewhere else.

But if you are driving your speakers with Stock head unit 140W tot pow, or even Ipod ready upgrade Head unit 160W tot pow. You will not get quite the sound you want with 2 Ohm speakers such as Infinity.

Especially from the front.
Stock front channel consists of 4 Ohm door speakers and 13 Ohm dash speakers run in parallel, this means your stock head unit sees approx 3 Ohm load.

So if you add a 2 Ohm speaker such as Infinty and keep stock tweeter in dash you will get about 1.7 Ohm load for the amp.

And as the resistance load drops your amp works harder and the sound will be thinner or less bass present.

So unless you run a good AMP I would not recommend low impedance speakers such as Infinity.

Peace

Just an FYI... From looking at the Reference Series... it looks like they are all 4 ohm, so if the original poster bought the Reference Series speakers, he'd be ok.

I also have CDT speakers in my car and I run an upstage tweeter aswell.
If you have more than two tweeters its 100% dependent on the way its setup if its gonna sound good

MY BAD...IF SO

I did not read Kappa or Reference.

Kappa are 2 Ohm

Reference are 4 Ohm

True

point still remains keep and I on the Ohms

They are Infinity reference. Should I unplug the tweeters uptop or leave em along?

Multiple tweeters, if done correctly can sound good. however you would need sufficient midbass to back it up as well as seperate power controls to get it to work properly.

I would suggest you get a decent amplifier, a nice set of front components and a sub, don't get rear speakers until you run out of things to do with your money...

^^^ more sources of the music = more erratic imaging and staging = too much effort to get multiple speaker systems to sound accurate... I highlight accurate because not everyone likes accurate sound..
