Infinity Kappa 682.11cf

Infinity Kappa 682.11cf review

There’s no denying this is a world-class car audio brand. Infinity has been in business since 1968. They have a very long tradition of quality, and it’s immediately apparent as soon as you pick up one of their set of speakers.

Once installed, the 682.11cf Kappa speakers will bring out crystal clear and natural-sounding high frequencies, powerful drums, and beats that have always been part of your music but kept hidden behind your rotted,tired-out, old factory speakers.

The speakers we review here (Kappa 682.11cf) are impressive, all things considered. They can fit various-sized openings, including 5×7 and 6×8. In addition, they’re designed to handle a great deal of power continuously (RMS).

Their sensitivity rating coming in at 94 dB, on the other hand, is actually the highest on this line-up. This means the 682.11cf can deliver the same volume as the average car speakers with half the power. 

One of the biggest benefits to speakers with a higher sensitivity rating is that they require considerably less power to deliver higher volume, making them the most convenient speakers for a sound system powered by a factory radio or an aftermarket car stereo. But, these speakers will really rock when driven by an external amp.

Our only complaint was that these speakers (and almost all infinity car speakers we’ve reviewed on this site) lag in terms of frequency response which led to the lack of the desired bass response – that is to be expected from all speakers with smaller woofers.

That being said, these speakers will do pretty well on their own, but they’ll really shine out, especially if you have a subwoofer installed – the subwoofer covers the lower bass tones, while these speakers focus on frequencies they’re best equipped to handle – highs and mid-range sound.

  • Type : 2-way
  • Size : 5″x7″ / 6″x8″
  • Overall Frequency Response : 40 – 25k Hz
  • Nominal Impedance : 4 Ohms
  • Power Handling
    • RMS : 100 Watts
    • Peak : 300 Watts
  • Sensitivity : 94 dB
  • Warranty : 3 years

No products found.

Pros 

  • Bass is great for a 5×7 speaker 
  • High-quality sound
  • Highly sensitive for crisp output 

Cons 

  • Frame could have been stronger

Polk Audio DB571

Reviewing Polk Audio db571

Polk Audio offers two of the best 5×7 car speaker – models (DB571 && MM571). They’re pretty fascinating picks as well; these speakers are marine certified, which means they’re solid speakers built to withstand harsh operating and outdoor conditions so that you can use them in various applications, including boats of all types, ATV, and off-road vehicles.

Polk Audio speakers are the most stylish speakers on the market; they look great and sound even better. Polk speakers offer cutting-edge capabilities like power handling, looks and aesthetics, and more for a reasonable price and high sensitivity rating, and sharp frequency response. A well-thought-out combination of high-quality speaker materials and design makes these speakers the best 5×7 car speakers you can buy for your vehicle.

The db571 speakers, for example, feature woofers made from a polymer/mica blend and a durable surround that serves to deliver high sound output with minimal breakup and distortion even under excessive load. Liquid-cooled 3/4″ silk/polymer dome tweeters rely on Neodymium magnets to produce high notes, immersing you in bright musical detail. Additionally, the built-in two-way crossovers redirect frequency signal – high and low frequencies towards the proper driver – highs to the tweeters and lows to the woofers, resulting in a seamless, efficient stereo-imaging.

Whether you’ve got a factory or an aftermarket car stereo, these Polk audio speakers will spice up your daily drive and make it more enjoyable. Our only complaint about these speakers is their relatively narrow frequency range of 52Hz – 22kHz.For comparison, some of the best car speakers we reviewed on this site can hit as low as 27Hz and as high as 37kHz.With both frequency ranges being far beyond the range of human hearing, most people won’t make a difference. However, admittedly, a narrow frequency range is nothing to write home about. if you’re a seasoned audiophile

Coaxial speakers: 

  • Low cost. 
  • Direct & easy fit. 
  • No crossover is required. 

Component speakers:  

  • Superior sound quality. 
  • Greater tweeter mounting flexibility – optimum imaging and sound staging. 

As we have stated before, both these speakers are pretty solid. If you’re looking for an easy fit, then the coaxial version is your best bet. Otherwise, if you’re a seasoned audio connoisseur and willing to spend extra money, component speakers will truly revitalize your music.

  • Type : 2-way coaxial speakers
  • Size : 5 X 7
  • Overall Frequency Response : 52Hz – 22kHz
  • Nominal Impedance : 4 Ohms
  • Power Handling
    • RMS : 60 Watts
    • Peak : 180 Watts
  • Sensitivity : 93 dB
  • Warranty : 1 year

Finally, here’s Punch P1572 by Rockford Fosgate, a decent set of speakers you can get for under $55.Something’s value is defined pretty much by its quality over cost or what you get for you pay. With that being said, we believe that for the price, you really can’t get too much better.
