THANK YOU for purchasing Infinity’s Kappa 10.7t
automotive tweeter. We’ve organized this manual
to make your installation as simple and trouble-
free as possible. Please read it thoroughly before
proceeding.
Remember to keep your sales receipt with this
manual in a safe place so both are available for
future reference.
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 10.7t tweeters in a general sense,
they do not show the exact installation methods
for your particular vehicle. If you feel you do
not have the experience, do not attempt the
installation yourself; instead, ask your authorized
Infinity car audio dealer about professional
installation options.
LOUD MUSIC AND HEARING
Playing loud music in an automobile can
permanently damage your hearing, 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.
ABOUT THE CROSSOVER
Passive crossover design involves precise circuit
design and component selection. Moreover, a
well-designed crossover circuit provides an
intended electrical response, when combined
with the electrical properties of the speaker,
to provide a particular acoustic response.
Each enclosed crossover has been optimized
to provide a flat response when used with a
Kappa 10.7t tweeter.
Do not use another brand or type of passive
crossover, or connect more than one tweeter to
a crossover. Doing so may damage the tweeter.
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.
ABOUT PLACEMENT
Figures 1 through 3 show possible speaker
placements, with Figure 1 being more desirable.
We recommend using the kick panel for mounting
to obtain the best staging and imaging in most
vehicles.

Figures 7A through 7D. The Starfish™ tweeter
mount is intended to be used when the tweeter
will be installed behind a factory grille (e.g.,
replacing the factory tweeter behind a door
panel). The Starfish will allow you to mount the
component tweeter directly to the panel itself or
to the area behind the panel. The six mounting
tabs can be removed easily to create a number
of custom configurations.
Note: Check screw clearance before installing.
Use glue if clearance is an issue.
Note: Not all possible mounting configurations
are shown.
