I read em, thanks

 

Allen_j or anyone,

I appreciate your feedback on the Kappas.

Most guys that put Infinity speakers in the 2002 s2000 seem to go with the 605cs instead of the Kappa 60.5cs. I noticed that both can be driven with as little as 2 watts rms which explains how you are able to power them with the stock HU. Both have a 270 watt maximum, but the 605 cs are $100.00 cheaper and have increased sensitivity of 92 dB instead of the 90 dB for the Kapppa's.

With the stock HU wouldn't the 605's sound even a little better than the Kappas, or do you recommend just getting the Kappas with the 90 dB sensitivity because you KNOW they work well with the stock amp. (BTW I am also already powering rear Kenwoods with the stock HU. They are Lucids 5 1/4 that need 2-35 rms and are 91 dB sensitivity.)

I am trying to stay with the stock HU and also avoid an amp for weight and space savings.

Do the Kappas and/or 605's need additional hardware and do they fit in the oem baskets?

 

I have a friend that did that with his "01, and it sounds great!! Ordered housings and speakers from honda oly $134.

 

Sorry if I'm jumping in here without having read through all of the stereo threads. This is the first I've heard that the stock head unit has 4 channels of amplification. It leads to a question that has probably been asked and answered elsewhere but here goes anyway:

Can I use the stock head unit to biamp the fronts (a dedicated channel for each tweeter and a dedicated channel for each midrange)? Is there a high quality component set out there that the stock head unit can handle but with a crossover sophisticated enough to allow biamping? And, while we're at it, can we have something ultra-sensitive like the Infinitis mentioned above?

Hope this hasn't been discussed too many times before. Thanks for listening.
