Infinity Component System is a good buy, but research FIRST!

I bought this component system on a recommendation from a friend. I am actually very pleased with the speakers but I WAS hoping for a little more bass out of them. I opted to power these speakers with a Rockford Fosgate amp. I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado "Classic" Crew cab, and the speakers were more than enough for the large passenger area. I also purchased the 2 6.5" Reference Series Speakers for the rear doors. All I need now is to add a couple of Subwoofers. I was hoping to avoid having to add Bass, but It is definitely a necessity at this point. If you can afford it, I would opt for the Kappa series, which I am told have much more low end sound. But like I said, these are just fine for the money and do sound really crisp and clean.

A BIG can of whoop-a** for your car stereo!

I just got a "new" 2001 Suburban, complete with factory stereo (and one blown set of speakers in the front driver-side door). Since I'm a real chicken when it comes to monkeying around with factory sound systems, especially ones that have "OnStar," rear seat audio controls, and other whiz-bang features wired into them, I decided I wanted to first try and fix the crummy sound with a new set of speakers, placed in the factory locations, and using the factory wiring, if possible. No new head unit, no new amps, etc. This is a nice car already, and I just wanted better sound from the factory system, not a "Pimp My Ride" type overhaul, costing thousands of dollars.

As it turns out, "upgrading" the factory speakers in this car wasn't much of a stretch, considering the factory woofers and tweeters were total junk. A tin can with some string attached might have given the factory equipment some serious competition.

Enter the Infinity 6010cs. This is a set of two-way "component speakers," that is, the woofer and tweeter are installed separately, and wired together through a crossover unit that's provided with the speakers.

Infinity's crossover unit is slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes, and, in this particular application, I found that it fit perfectly right behind the factory woofer location, bolted to a horizontal run in the outer door framing, which was easy enough to reach through the woofer hole in the inner framing, but not quite so easy to drill through. The steel in this location is probably three times as thick as the inner framing you attach the woofer to. However, with pilot holes and a little elbow grease, two holes were cleanly drilled and the crossover was bolted to the door frame, as the Chevy people might say ... "solid as a rock."

In this particular Suburban, I just nipped off the GM wiring harness at the end of the line that previously fed the factory woofer, and connected that line directly to the "in" terminals on the Infinity crossover. (I've seen a few commentaries about factory-amp filtering of the signal coming through this lead -- there's even one guy that devised a method for bypassing the factory amp filters -- but I got a headache just reading the guy's instructions for this job, and that's far too complicated a topic for inclusion in this review.) Leave yourself a few inches of lead on the wiring harness, so you can re-use it. You also might want to pre-measure, cut and install some speaker wire on the output terminals of the crossover before you bolt it in place, because once it's installed, it's a bit awkward trying to reach and attach wires to the terminals.

The woofers are sized to fit a 6 1/2 inch space, and fit in the factory location of my Suburban perfectly. I only had to drill four new holes for the mounting screws, which went a lot easier than the crossover, because the inner framing steel is a lot thinner than the outer framing. I pirated the male and female GM wiring harnesses from the factory woofer, put the female end on the woofer terminals, and the male end on the end of the new wire coming from the woofer output on the crossover. If you aren't installing these behind a factory grill, Infinity provides a handsome pair of exterior grills, and all the mounting brackets you need to do a custom install.

The tweeters were more interesting. In this particular car, the tweeters aren't mounted on the door frame, but rather, on the door panel, just above the woofer location. That is, when you pull off the door panel, you have to disconnect a separate wiring harness running to the tweeter (among other factory wiring harnesses) in order to get the door panel completely off. The factory tweeter is built into a custom, black faceplate that is removed by taking off two hollow "bolts" that secure the plastic faceplate/tweeter assembly to the back of the door panel, by two plastic posts that extend from the back of the faceplate, and stick through the door panel.

Infinity includes a variety of installation hardware for its tweeter too, including a universal adapter they call a "starfish," and a flush mount kit that looks like a short piece of threaded pipe. Because the hole for the factory tweeter was a bit too awkwardly shaped for use of the "starfish," I opted for the flush mount, which required that I figure out how to cover the hole left by the factory tweeter and provide a clean, flat surface for the flush mount. Since the faceplate on the factory tweeter was already a perfect fit (complete with mounting hardware ... yay), I decided to carefully pry the factory tweeter out of its plastic enclosure (it's not like I was ever going to use it again anyway), and I cut a 1 3/4 inch hole in the middle of the factory tweeter faceplate with a hole saw. Presto ... all set for tweeter installation.

Infinity's tweeter snaps into a custom-fit plastic seat with a little bolt coming out the back, this seat, in turn, pops into the flush mount seat, and the bolt sticks out a slot in the back. There's a little pressure washer and nut you put on the bolt, and then the whole tweeter assembly slides up and down, e.g., to allow you to re-direct the tweeter up toward your ears, and away from your knees, which is where the tweeter in a typical two-way coaxial speaker usually shoots most of its signal when it's installed in a car door. You kind of eyeball the tweeter to get it pointed in the right direction, cinch down the adjustment bolt, and you're all set. In the flush mount application, the whole tweeter assembly then pops into your 1 3/4 inch hole, and then there's a nylon/plastic hand-nut you use to secure the entire assembly to your door panel from the rear. VERY cool and easy, that is, once you've got the mounting location figured out and prepared.

Another cool feature of the Infinity tweeter is an alternate -3db terminal on the crossover unit. This terminal is used to take a little bit of juice off the tweeter, and I, for one, believe that most average listeners would want to use it. Most of us aren't used to having a full power tweeter blasting straight at our heads from two feet away, and this tweeter is HOT. I listened to both before finishing the installation, and I found that the -3db lead was plenty hot enough.

Once all the parts are in place, it's just a matter of hooking up the power and listening, and let me tell you ... after listening to crappy, blown factory speakers for a month, I was totally unprepared for what I heard coming out of these Infinitys. It was like listening to a whole new stereo system. This factory system (Delco AM/FM/CD head unit, combined with remote cassette and factory amp) probably puts out something like 20 watts per channel, and I was a bit worried when I got the Infinitys (they're rated at 90 watts RMS), that my factory system might not be able to drive them properly. All those fears were laid to rest when I powered these babies up. These highly-efficient speakers can comfortably handle ANYTHING. Beautiful, crystalline highs (directed right at the driver and passenger ear locations by the adjustable tweeters); bright, well-defined mids, and plenty of punchy, clean bass, all about as well-integrated through the audible frequencies as any car stereo I've ever heard. The more I turned it up, the bigger and better it got. NO distortion. NO muddiness or slop. Just crystal clean sound, up to a volume level that was MORE than enough oomph for my taste. What an INCREDIBLE improvement, with absolutely no violence done to the factory head unit/amp system. Next project: matching Infinitys for the rear doors, and a new subwoofer for the cargo area!

In sum then, if you can find room for "components" in the location(s) you want your speakers, GET EM. Once you hear them, you'll never go back to coaxials. They totally rock, and these Infinitys, with their directed, adjustable tweeters and perfectly mated crossovers, undoubtedly qualify as the "Cadillac" of their class. They're worth every penny.

Plus One woofer cones - this patent pending technology deliver a cone with more surface area than competing models of the same size. The result is increased bass output and higher efficiency. The edge-driven silk dome tweeters are not commonly used W-domes, but fully edge driven domes like those found in fine home audio loudspeakers. This much larger voice coil increases power handling and provides better sonic integration with the mid-woofer. I-Mount tweeter mounting system allows for easy and versatile installation of tweeters in each of the Infinity component system. New is the Starfish, an accessory that allows for mounting in factory tweeter locations.
