NOTE:The 32.7cf, 462.7cfp and 682.7cf speakers
are designed to be installed under factory grilles.
Consequently, no grilles are packaged with
these models.

THANK YOU for purchasing Infinity’s Kappa Series
multielement automotive loudspeakers. We’ve
organized this manual to make their 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 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
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.
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 462.7cfp, 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 8 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.

INTERMOUNT III MOUNTING RINGS
The Kappa 62.7 and 63.7 speakers are packaged
with two different speaker adaptor rings.The
rings will allow the speakers to be installed into
various factory 6," 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" openings. See
Figure 5.The metal ring can be mounted in many
European vehicles, Japanese vehicles or vehicles
with 6" speaker locations. The plastic ring can be
mounted in many vehicles using 6-3/4" speaker
locations or three-point mounting frames.
UNIPIVOT™ROTATING TWEETER
In order to rotate the tweeter on select Kappa
speakers, (1) push the tweeter post inward
and (2) then rotate. Once in position, release
the tweeter to lock in position (Figure 6).This
feature is only available on the Kappa 52.7, 62.7,
692.7 and 682.7cf speakers.
TWEETER LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
All Kappa series multielement speakers are
equipped with an adjustable tweeter level. On
all two-way speakers, slightly twist the tweeter
faceplate to either the +3dB or 0dB position
(Figure 7). All three-way speakers have a push
button to adjust the tweeter level between the
+3dB and 0dB setting (Figure 7). Adjust to
personal preference.

models are connected in a similar way.
