IMPORTANT: Installation of automotive stereo
components can require extensive experience
with a variety of mechanical and electrical proce-
dures. Although these instructions explain how to
install Kappa Series 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 installa-
tion yourself, but instead ask your Authorized
Infinity Car Audio Dealer about professional
installation options.
WARNING: Playing loud music in an automotive
environment can permanently damage your hear-
ing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic.
The maximum volume levels 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.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Kappa speakers are designed to be easily
installed in stock speaker locations. While mount-
ing your speakers in the original factory locations
will, in most cases, provide excellent sonic
results, the best sounding installations are a
result of adherence to a few basic rules.
• For the most spacious stereo image, place the
left and right speakers as far apart as possible.
• For enhanced center image, place the left and
right speakers so they are equidistant from the
listening position. If possible, try to place them
as far forward as possible.
• To ensure the best low-frequency output from
the 65.1mb, mount the speaker on a rigid, air-
tight baffle so that the sound emanating from
the frontward motion of the speaker cannot
contact the sound coming from the rearward
motion of the speaker and cause bass
cancellation.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when using
any tools.
• Turn off all audio systems and other electrical
devices before you start. Disconnect the (–) neg-
ative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep speakers in their package until final instal-
lation. 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.
CAUTION: In some cars, fuel tanks may be
located directly beneath the rear deck. Check
for adequate speaker basket clearance before
considering this location!
• 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 win-
dow’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 clear-
ance around rear-deck torsion bars, glove box
or other structural elements.
• Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.
