Product Description
The Kappa 60.9cs component speaker system features 6-1/2"" woofers with responsive woven glass-fiber cones that won't flex during a hard workout. The Plus One design offers a larger surface area for improved low-frequency output and efficiency, while longer voice coils add a little more punch to the bass. Large magnets keep the woofers running cooler by placing more steel close to the voice coils to act as a heat sink.
Infinity uses the same textile dome tweeters found in many of their popular home speakers with this Kappa system, so you'll hear the music the way it was recorded with minimal coloration or distortion. The tweeters handle down to 2,500 Hz, almost an octave below the tweeters in many systems, so you'll hear more definition and detail, no matter where you sit. Infinity includes mounting hardware to install the tweeters in custom or factory openings.
The computer-optimized outboard crossover networks employ audiophile-grade components to separate highs and lows, so that the woofer and tweeter work together perfectly. You can attenuate tweeter response by 6 dB to get the perfect sonic balance if you've mounted the tweeters in a less-than-ideal factory location.
Pre-wired crossovers eliminate a time-consuming step in your installation, and terminals at the end of the crossover wires screw directly to the Kappa woofers and tweeters, leaving no chance for incorrect wiring.

The Plus One cone on the Kappa series provides more overall speaker-cone area than others in its class
Key Features
Plus One woofer cones
The Plus One cone on the Kappa series provides more overall speaker-cone area than others in its class. With an effective increase in cone area, the speaker radiates more air. Also, the woven glass fiber woofer cone material produces a lighter and stiffer cone. The result is a better low-frequency response and a greater ability to make those important nearly tangible musical notes that people often associate with a larger speaker size.
Woven glass fiber woofer cones
Woven glass fiber woofer cone material is both extremely stiff and very light. This minimizes cone flex while allowing the cone to react quickly which yields very low distortion, improved clarity and deep low frequency response; all Infinity trademarks.
Ultra-wideband UHF soft-dome tweeters
The ultra-wideband UHF tweeter used on the 60.9cs delivers improved vocals, smooth high-frequency response and accurate music reproduction all the way out to 35kHZ.
A wide frequency response that extends to 35kHz helps compensate for speaker placement variations in the car and human hearing deficiencies in the high-frequency spectrum above 15kHz
Ultrahigh-frequency response (up to 35kHz)
A wide frequency response that extends to 35kHz helps compensate for speaker placement variations in the car and human hearing deficiencies in the high-frequency spectrum above 15kHz. The result is that the Infinity Kappa 60.9cs component speakers deliver more of the full-range frequency response that you associate with great sound.
True Four Ohm Impedance
All Kappa speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance “seen” by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Kappa Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and provides more output than factory speakers or others in its class.
Computer-optimized voice-matched outboard passive crossovers
Each Kappa multielement and component system features an outboard crossover that has been voice-matched for flawless performance. They feature only the best parts including including low-hysteresis polypropylene capacitors, low-loss air-core inductors and high-quality resistors. The result is high-performance sound with incomparable clarity, detail and accuracy.
Adjustable, push-button tweeter level control
The Infinity Kappa 60.9cs component speakers feature 0-decibel and -6 decibel settings to custom-tune higher frequencies. Custom tuning allows users to optimize the sound for different in-vehicle locations. You can easily adjust the tuning by pushing a button on the passive crossover.
I-Mount tweeter-mounting hardware
The Infinity Kappa 60.9cs component tweeter includes the I-Mount (U.S. patent number 5,859,917) tweeter-mounting system, which allows easy flush mounting or surface mounting, giving you more installation options.
Starfish Tweeter OEM Mounting Adapter
The 60.9CS component system comes with the Infinity’s patented Starfish tweeter mounting adapter. This adapter allows for easy installation of the tweeter behind factory grilles. It also provides six break-off mounting tabs to accommodate many mounting configurations. The result is easy, straightforward installation in nearly any vehicle.

Product Information
44 years. One purpose.
Infinity speakers have been the science of sound on the move – innovation after innovation – for over 40 years. In 1968, as our first product – a breakthrough electrostatic speaker with a servo-controlled subwoofer – became highly acclaimed, we found that perfection in the reproduction of recorded sound could be a feasible objective. The Infinity brand’s first 44 years have resulted in a continuous lineup of quality systems and technical improvements that critics have roundly praised and competitors have widely copied. Now, coming up on half a century, we still have an unwavering commitment to technology and performance.

Built a system for my 2002 Yukon XL, I know, ok call it a Suburban. Room was an issue as I wanted no loss of utility in the vehicle, I found this was a compromise. Power is everything to obtain transparent sound that does not distort at even relatively high volumes. I chose the Alpine PDX-5 for three reasons 1) it had five channels at sufficiently high wattage 2) was very small and would fit under the left rear seat and 3) gossip was that although the specs quote at loose
Chose two Infinity 60.9cs 2-way component systems sets with a pair in the front doors and a woofer in the rear door and its tweeter in the very back pillars. The Infinity's have a very high Sensitivity (93 db@1 watt@1meter), therefore they are very miserly when it comes to power. The rule of thumb is every 3 db increase in volume requires a doubling of wattage so they are way ahead of say a speaker with a sensitivity of say 87. They are crystal clear and indeed I hear stuff in the music I don't hear in other systems.
The tweeters come with like (5) ways to mount them and the one that I love and worked for me was a threaded cylinder that has a mating basket that fits in it.. The cylinder permits varying the depth of the mount (out or into the plane) by inserting homemade spacers and the basket allows aiming the tweeter at what looks like up to 45 degrees! The tweeters I replaced up front are now directed right up to the front passengers, very powerful stuff.
The speakers come with their associated passive crossovers. These things are clunky at best and I ended up putting a set under each rear seat. They could have been made with the corresponding components (for example the coil) being put with its driver (woofer) as an assembly which I would have liked. Regardless, they work very well as evidenced by the sound.
For the bottom end I required a very shallow 8" for my factory sub box. Among the vast number of 8" out there (is there another?), I selected the Pioneer TS-SW841D. It turns out it is a feisty little guy and provides good bass down to 60 HZ, HUG. No really that is the 5 db down point in a closed box. It is way better than some 8" in open air in many a car. What I found that was very important was setting the Alpine's high- pass to the 60.9CSs to 75 hz and the sub low-pass to 75 hz. Otherwise there is a spike of bass that will give you a headache for sure. Later I plan to go with a Stealthbox but for now the 8 sounds just fine
By the way, got a Pioneer DEH-P7200HD deck and media selection is phenomenal compared to factory. Need to use it for a while to be able to comment on usability.

Infinity is a great product. I personally have found their speakers to be far superior to anything else out there. And the 2 ohm just kicks as*! Buy them. The price was great on amazon. Around a $100 cheaper than Crutchfield which is really no surprise. Discount Jungle was on it like skippy as far as shipping, awesome!

This product had a tweeter stop working for me a short while into the warranty period. I called Infinity corp. and they stated that I had to make a claim through the dealer I bought the system from, in this case it was E & B Electronics. As ridiculous as this sounds I tried it. The guy that answered the phone at E&B told me there is no way they will stand behind the product I bought from them. Then the guy actually tells me "We are not even an authorized dealer, we are just a store that sells a lot of different stuff." UNBELEIVABLE!! Did you know that Amazon apparently sells (through third-party partners like E&B Electronics) grey-market electronics, for which the manufacturer will not honor the stated warranty? I would not have believed this. When Amazon customer assistance did a three way call (which amazon wisely recorded) with me quietly listening to try to resolve this with the dealer, they ranted on at the Amazon representative, and told him to not "even to try to get a word in edgewise, because I can go on like this all day", then he abruptly hung up. The Amazon representative was as shocked at this display of unprofessional treatment towards the company that directs thousands of dollars of sales to them as I was.
In closing, I would highly recommend nobody buy any Infinity product from E&B Electronics as the warranty is not valid, and you will have no recourse if anything goes wrong with your expensive purchase. Stay away from these two companies.
