    Good morning/afternoon all, new to the forum here. I have a 22 SR5 and I'm in the market to upgrade the entire audio set up. I'm looking at Infinity Kappa 6X9 components for the front speakers and use the tweeters to replace the dashboard speakers. I'm also looking at Infinity Kapaa 6.5 for the rear speakers (non-component) and a JL Audio stealthbox 10" with a 5 channel JL amp w/DSP.

    For the rear 6.5's, the mounting depth for the Kappa's are 2 1/8". Is that going to still fit in the back? Also, would you all recommend sound deadening while the door panels are off?

    What are your thoughts on the set up? Would you recommend something else? I'm not really looking for crazy bass which is why the JL 5 channel is only pushing 75 x 4 @ 4 ohms and 300w RMS to the JL Sub (400 RMS max). Looking to see what you all think! My music tastes are all over the place so it could go from some metallica/Five Finger Death Punch to straight acapella type.

    Thanks!

    whatever you do install sound deadening material in the doors. without it the door panels vibrate and it sounds like a blown speaker.
    i put sound deadening on the back side of the door panels in mine.

    I understood tweeters, speakers, and thanks. The rest was all some foreign language I do not speak :)
