    I just recently heard of them so really don’t know much about them.

    Finally getting back to this now that the replacement speakers came in. One of the crossovers was buggered.
    Crossover location works great.

    I did just the passenger side so I could adjust balance back and forth for a good comparison.
    Speakers are much cleaner sounding. The efficiency (93db) works well with the stock head unit as there is almost no difference in volume level. There is a significant difference in bass. The stock speaker produces more bass but it's "loose" and "muddy" if those terms make sense in comparison to the infinitys which are tighter and crisper. The tweeters have infinitely more clarity. If this were a home system with a better sound stage than a truck, I'd say the infinity tweeters were a bit too bright for my tastes but, again, we're talking about a motor vehicle which is a terrible audio environment so I'm not nearly as picky.
    Pretty pleased for <$100. The subwoofer will handle all the bass so we're good :thumbsup:
    Stock tweeter covers just push in from the front so I left it out so I can aim the tweeter as needed.
