So my rear driver's side speaker has been rattling ever since I purchased my GXP back in November and it's been bugging the hell out of me because I can hear it every time I turn the volume up past 15. :cursin::cursin:
I browsed through the forums and found some good reviews on the Infinity Kappa 62.9i door speakers and decided to give them a shot. I liked these because they have a built in crossover and that the tweeter is able to be turned 360 degrees so you can really dial in the sweet spot for your sound. I got my speakers from Amazon for $130 for both pair and also added some Metra speaker connectors based on a thread I read that recommended them due to the small amount of factory wiring to hook up the speakers.
So the install was pretty straight forward. It took me a little while to figure out how to mount the first speaker, but once i figured out which mounting plate to use (which was supplied with the speakers) the other three doors were a snap. All in all the install took me around three hours.
Let me just say that these things SCREAM!!! Before on the factory speakers I could turn the volume up to maybe 30 or 35 before they really started to distort, now with these installed I can turn the volume all the way up (volume goes up to 63 if you're wondering :burnout
and there's no distortion at all, none, zero. I always read about how crappy the factory speakers are, but I never knew what I was missing out on until after I had these installed. It really is a night and day difference. For the price I paid ($140 total) this is one of the best "mods" I've done to the car. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a relatively cheap and easy upgrade.
