Frequently Asked Questions - Kappa 50.2cs INFINITY

What are the power handling specifications of the Infinity Kappa 50.2cs?

The Infinity Kappa 50.2cs handles 85W RMS and 340W peak. Ensure your amplifier is not driven above its rated power to avoid clipping, which can damage the speakers.

How do I mount the tweeters for optimal sound?

Use the I-Mount system. For flush-mounting, follow Figure 5; for surface-mounting, use Figure 4. Aim the tweeter toward the listening position by rotating the assembly and adjusting the angle with the stud and locking nuts.

What is the recommended crossover frequency?

The built-in passive crossover is set at 3.5 kHz. Connect the tweeter and woofer to the crossover as shown in Figure 2.

Can I install these speakers in factory locations?

Yes, Kappa speakers are designed for easy installation in stock locations. However, check clearances for window mechanisms, fuel lines, and other obstructions before drilling.

How do I clean the speaker grilles?

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the grilles. Do not use any cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the grille or cone material.

What should I do if I hear distorted or fuzzy sound?

Distorted sound indicates your amplifier may be clipping. Reduce the volume level immediately to prevent damage. Ensure the amplifier is not driven beyond its rated power.

Are there any safety precautions I should follow during installation?

Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting. Wear protective eyewear and be cautious of fuel lines, brake lines, and wiring. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need basic tools like a drill, utility knife, screwdrivers, and possibly a multimeter. For flush-mount tweeters, the I-Mount kit with locking nuts is included.

Can I use these speakers without an external amplifier?

Yes, they can be driven by a factory stereo, but for best performance and to overcome road noise, an external amplifier is recommended. They are designed to handle up to 85W RMS.

What is the mounting depth for the midrange speakers?

The drop-in mounting depth is 2-3/8 inches (61 mm). Ensure there is adequate clearance behind the mounting surface, especially near fuel tanks or window mechanisms.

USER MANUAL Kappa 50.2cs INFINITY

IMPORTANT: Installation of automotive stereo components can require extensive experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although these instructions explain how to install a Kappa Series 2-Way Component System in a general sense, they do not show the exact installation method 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.

WARNING: 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.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Kappa speakers are designed to be easily installed in stock speaker locations. While mounting 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.
• For best treble response when tweeters are flush-mounted in the I-Mount™(pat. 5,859,917), aim them at the listening position by adjusting the tweeter angle in the cup, tightening the small metal locking nut behind the assembly, and rotating the entire assembly in its mounting location before tightening the large plastic locking nut behind the panel (see Figure 6, page 3).

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 (−) negative lead from your vehicle's battery.
- Keep components 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.

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 window's travel, and verify that a mounted speaker will not interfere with the window crank or power-window mechanism.
• If mounting components elsewhere, check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars, glove box or other structural elements.
• Do not mount components where they will get wet.

A NOTE ON POWER HANDLING

The speakers used in Kappa Series 2-Way Component Systems are designed to produce reasonable volume levels with little amplifier power. However, the addition of an amplifier to drive your speakers and a subwoofer will enhance the dynamic range of your system, and help overcome the ambient noise in a moving vehicle. Kappa speakers are designed to handle the power of a dedicated amplifier driven at or below its rated power. If an amplifier is driven far above its rated power, the output signal will "clip" and the additional power present in a clipped signal can damage any speaker. Distorted or "fuzzy" sound from your speakers is an indication that the amplifier has exceeded its rated power, and you should reduce the volume level.

GENERAL CARE

The loudspeaker grilles may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use any cleaners or solvents on the grilles or the speaker cones.
