Infinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch 180-Watt High-Performance Two-Way Speakers (Pair)

• 6-1/2-inch two-way loudspeaker with 180 Watts peak power handling and 2 Ohm impedance
• Plus One woofer cones and durable rubber surrounds for increased bass output and higher efficiency
• Edge-driven textile dome tweeters for increased power handling and reduced distortion at high output levels
• Tweeter level adjustment and swivel positioning for optimizing sound and stereo image
• One-year warranty

These speakers will out-perform any other brand, generally, of the same size for under $100. I cannot recommend anyone to ever buy these, though. I'll tell you why. Infinity sells a set of Infinity Kappa 6.5 on this very site for only $20 more. The improvements are very substantial. The Kappas have Infinity's special glass-fiber woofer cone. I did a side-by-side comparison to eliminate the change for the placebo-effect to taint my judgment, and the Kappa's mid-range just seemed a little sweeter and had more fidelity. The bass that the Kappa's produces also seemed more musically accurate. Some speakers produce bass in a more punchy way. Some people prefer this type. The Kappa's have a richer tonality and a smoother, more accurate bass reproduction. The Kappa's also have a different tweeter. The tweeter is vastly superior to the Reference tweeter sound-wise, but isn't just because of the tweeter itself. The Kappa has a computer-controlled cross-over that blurs the line between coaxial and component speakers in terms of sound quality. The Reference just have the typical capacitor wired in. Capacitors work just fine, and they're what you have to expect for this price-point, but for $20 more, the computer-controlled cross-over is a no-brainer. A huge advantage about the more advanced cross-over is the low-pass on the woofers. All the higher frequencies on the Reference speakers come through the woofer and can come across distorted at higher volumes. Again, this is not a problem with the Kappas. I'd like to add that both speakers had a more than reasonably break-in--I've actually had the Kappas longer. I realize this isn't a review for this particular product, but the Kappas are everything these are and more. I'd highly suggest spending the extra $20 and reaping all the benefits.

I just installed Infinity 6032cf speakers in the front doors of our Honda Odyssey 2001 LX. They fit, however, I had to clip the protruding plastic tabs off the included plastic mounting adapter, and clip two plastic tabs and a plastic ridge off the door that served to align the OEM speakers to make the mounting adapter fit. Then I had to trim some of the plastic inside the door to make room for the larger magnet of the Infinity speaker. The Honda speaker plug can easily be disassembled such that no additional crimp connectors are needed (the original ones that are inside the Honda plug can be used). The grills covering the speakers still fit after the Infinity 6032cf speakers were installed.

As to the sound, I am very satisfied with these speakers. To put my opinion in perspective, I am not the kind of person who needs an amp and subs to bother other motorists with their music. I was just looking for an upgrade to the terrible OEM speakers in the LX version of the 2001 Odyssey. The Infinity 6032cf speakers indeed provide a quite significant improvement in sound quality over the original speakers. In particular, bass is increased quite a bit and the included tweeters provide very clear highs. I should also mention that I am using the original Honda OEM cassette radio.

I chose these speakers for a couple of reason: I wanted to match the factory Infinity system in my Jeep with the same brand speakers. I wanted to make sure I got 2 ohm speakers, which is what the factory speakers are. And I wanted something with high sensitivity. Most factory speakers have high sensitivity which is why they sound so good with a low wattage amp, I think this is important to consider when looking at speakers.

The installation was not very fun. For some reason they chose to use two different sized spade terminals on the speaker. I'm sure this is to make it easy to identify positive from negative, but I only have one size (the larger size) as I'm sure most people do except for a stereo shop. I wasn't about to drive to the store to pick up a box of small spade terminals just to use 4 of them... so I made the larger ones work by crimping them down a little. The adapter rings that come with it for 6-3/4" openings don't come with any screws... once again I don't have 16 incredibly short screws lying around to affix the speaker to the ring. I wound up just screwing it to the door with sheet metal screws, I was not able to use the factory mounting points.

However the speakers are great! I'm not sure why others say they have no bass, I'm guessing they either don't have a 2 ohm factory system or absolutely no sound deadening in their doors, maybe they wired them in backwards? I cranked it up in the driveway and my wife came out and asked me to turn it down because she could hear the booming from inside the house. And that is with the bass turned down on the equalizer! They have excellent upper and mid-range response, with about as good of lows as you can expect from a 6.5" speaker. You can adjust the tweeter output directly on the speaker, which is nice because I already have factory tweets in the dash, I set my tweeters at 0db.

Overall I'm satisfied, the installation was a hassle but I only needed to do it once and I will be enjoying the awesome sound from these speakers for years to come.

Installed in a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Infinity. Installation is straight forward for an average car junky. The sound is full for a 6.5 and is a superb replacement for the factory speakers. On my ZJ, as with all my vehicles, I lightly sand the copper wires to remove any oxidation and gummy residue before soldering the contacts. I wasn't impressed with the mini negative post. It's clearly labeled so differentiating the terminals by size is unnecessary. There's some cats outside my window having angry sex. It sounds hilarous. The foam dampeners included do a sufficient job of reducing vibrations, however, a little dynamat goes a long way. It may be necessary to drill through your sheet metal to properly install these speakers. Something to bear in mind before a DIY. Has anyone ever driven through Lancaster County PA? It smells like poo there. Sorry, got high while writing this.
