kappa series
THANK YOU for purchasing Infinity’s Kappa ®
Series automotive loudspeaker components.
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 Component Systems 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 CONTENTS
The Kappa Component System includes:
• 5 -1⁄4" or 6 -1⁄ 2" or 165mm or 6" x 8" woofer
• Grille and mounting adaptor(s)
• 1" Tweeter with surface/flush I-Mount™
(patent no. 5,859,917) kits
• Crossover network with mounting screws
Note: The supplied crossover network is optimized
for each specific speaker system it is packaged
with. Do not substitute another crossover network
or use other speakers when connecting the system
(see Figure 8A).
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.
• If possible, select a mounting site for the
crossover network that is near the speakers
and provides easy access for connections.
