Hi there, I have a 01 Chevy Silverado, and have a new engine and other items replaced. Currently it has an Alpine CDA 7894 which has a rms of 27x4W, freq response 5-20000Hz and 105dB signal to noise Ratio. It’s old i know, maybe later I will upgrade them. For now, I am looking for 6.5 speakers for them.
I checked on clutch field and they recommended the infinity reference series ref6532ix that has the following specs, rms of 60w each, freq response 53-21000hz and 93dB sensitivity.
i also found the infinity kappa series 62ix, that has much better specs with rms of 75w each, freq response 45-25000Hz and 95dB sensitivity. It’s about 20 to 30 dollars more than the reference but it seems the material used for the kappa is much better.
I don’t have enough knowledge or expedience to and have the following questions.
1. is the deck I currently have, able to power the kappas or should I stick with the reference series?
2. is the deck even powerful enough to power the reference series speakers?
3. would there be a noticeable difference between them? I don’t think I will add an amplifier or a new deck for now, but maybe piece by piece if I can.
4. if not infinity what are your preferred speakers that you will recommend ? I am also planning to upgrade the column speakers too, probably going to match them with the same speaker brands I get for the above ones.
thank you, any input is appreciated.
