ABOUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of automotive stereo components
can require extensive experience with a
variety of mechanical and electrical procedures.
Although these instructions explain how to install
Kappa Series multi-element speakers in a general
sense, they do not show the exact installation
methods for your particular vehicle. If you do
not feel you have the experience, do not attempt
the installation yourself, but instead ask your
authorized Infinity car audio dealer about
professional installation options.
LOUD MUSIC AND HEARING
Playing loud music in an automobile can hinder
your ability to hear traffic as well as permanently
damage your hearing.The maximum volume lev-
els achievable with Infinity speakers, combined
with high power amplification, may exceed safe
levels for extended listening. We recommend
using low volume levels when driving. Infinity
accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury,
or property damage as a result of use or misuse
of this product.
REAR DECK PRECAUTION
In some cars, fuel tanks may be located directly
beneath the rear deck. Before installation, make
sure there is adequate speaker basket clearance
before considering this location!
ABOUT THE CROSSOVER
Except for the 462.3cfp, each Kappa Series multi-
element speaker includes a crossover for in-line
connection to an amplifier output and is required
for proper operation (see Figure 7 on the next
page).The attached crossover wires are keyed and
color-coded to aid in correct polarity connections.
Do not omit the crossover or substitute another
one – doing so will damage the speaker.
INSTALLATION TIPS
•Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.
•Turn off all audio components and other
electrical devices before you start. Disconnect
the (–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
•Keep speakers in their package until final
installation. When moving a speaker, always
rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never
use force to install any speaker.
•Check clearances on both sides of a planned
mounting surface before drilling any holes or
installing any screws. Remember that the
screws can extend behind the surface.
•At the installation sites, locate and make a
note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines,
vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use
extreme caution when cutting or drilling in
and around these areas.
•Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl,
to keep material from snagging in a drill bit
or saw.
•For door installations, check the clearance
with the windows throughout the range of the
window’s travel, and verify that a mounted
speaker will not interfere with the window
crank or power window mechanism.
•If mounting speakers elsewhere, check for
clearance around rear deck torsion bars, glove
box or other structural elements.
•Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.

NOTE:The 32.3cf, 462.3cfp and 572.3cf speakers
are designed to be installed under factory grilles.
Consequently, no grilles are packaged with
these models.
NOTE: If you are mounting the 572.3cf in a 6" x 8"
location, use the adapter provided.
