    Default crappy sounding kappa's

    ok i have comp kappas in front and full range in the rear. right now its just wired through the stock wires to a pioneer head unit. i think they sound kinda crappy. could this be from the lower power of the head unit? 22watts rms x 4.
    no i do not have a sub. thanks. - jon

    Infinity speakers sound awesome with a nicely matched amp. I'd amp them to their RMS (I think it's 100w) to make them sound awesome! My bro had 4 6x9 Kappas at their rated RMS that sounded like nothing I've ever heard.

    Correct polarity on all speakers?

    I had a 2 speakers wired wrong before and it threw off the sound of all 4.

    Is it the lower frequencies that sound bad? I had my kappas wired up to my head unit for about a day until my amp came in the mail. They sounded awful and I was afraid that I wasted a bunch of money...but as soon as I amped them they sounded just amazing.

    If you get that amp, let me know what you think. I'm going to be building an Infinity 6x8 system all around. I'd idealy like to run new wires from the speakers to the trunk to an Infinity amp.
