Frequently Asked Questions - Kappa 57.1cs INFINITY

What is the impedance of the Kappa 57.1cs speakers?

The impedance is 4 ohms, suitable for most car audio amplifiers.

How much power can these speakers handle?

They handle 120 watts per channel RMS. Ensure your amplifier's output does not exceed this to avoid damage.

What are the mounting depth and cut-out dimensions?

Mounting depth is 2-3/16" (56 mm). Cut-out dimensions for the midrange are 5" x 7-3/16" (127 mm x 183 mm) and for the tweeter 1-5/8" (41 mm).

Can I install these speakers in factory locations?

Yes, they are designed to fit stock speaker locations easily. Follow the placement guidelines for best sound.

How should I aim the tweeters for best sound?

Use the I-Mount system to adjust the tweeter angle toward the listening position. Tighten the metal locking nut behind assembly and rotate before tightening the large plastic nut.

What is the frequency response of the Kappa 57.1cs?

The frequency response is 50Hz - 20kHz with a tolerance of ±3dB.

Do I need an amplifier for these speakers?

While they can work with head unit power, an external amplifier is recommended to achieve full dynamic range and overcome road noise.

How do I clean the speaker grilles?

Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use any cleaners or solvents on the grilles or cones.

What safety precautions should I take during installation?

Always wear protective eyewear, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and check for fuel lines, brake lines, and wiring before drilling.

What is the crossover frequency for the Kappa 57.1cs?

The built-in crossover is set at 8kHz to separate frequencies between the midrange and tweeter.

USER MANUAL Kappa 57.1cs 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 automotive environment 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 ^16 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 5, 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.

TWEETER INSTALLATION

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.
