Frequently Asked Questions - Reference 6953i INFINITY

What is the power handling of the Infinity Reference 6953i?

The Infinity Reference 6953i handles 75 Watts RMS and 225 Watts peak power. It is recommended to use an amplifier delivering 15-100 Watts RMS for optimal performance.

What size is the speaker?

The speaker is a 6" x 9" oval shape, with a mounting depth of approximately 2.5 inches. It requires a cutout of the same oval dimensions.

Is it compatible with my car?

Compatibility depends on your car's speaker openings. Most vehicles with 6" x 9" speaker slots will accept this speaker. Verify the mounting depth and cutout size before installation.

Do I need an amplifier?

While the speakers can run on head unit power, an external amplifier (15-100 Watts RMS per channel) is recommended to fully utilize their sensitivity of 93 dB and achieve higher volume with less distortion.

How do I install it?

First, disconnect the car battery. Remove the old speaker, connect the new speaker's wiring (observing polarity), and mount it using the included screws. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leaks.

What is the impedance?

The impedance is 4 Ohms, which is standard for most car audio systems. Ensure your amplifier or head unit is rated for 4-ohm loads.

Can I use it in a marine environment?

No, this speaker is designed for indoor automotive use only. Exposure to moisture, salt, or extreme humidity can damage the cone and electrical components.

How do I clean the speaker?

Clean the speaker grille and cone with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Avoid touching the tweeter dome to prevent damage.

What is the frequency response?

The frequency response ranges from 45 Hz to 21 kHz, covering deep bass notes to high-frequency treble, suitable for a full-range audio experience.

Does it come with grilles?

Typically, the Infinity Reference 6953i includes grilles for protection. Check the package contents; if not, grilles can be purchased separately.

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 Reference Series 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.

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.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS

• Always wear protective eyewear when using any tools.

- Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the (-) negative load 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.

CAUTION: In some cars, fuel tanks may be located directly beneath the rear dock. 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 of 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.
