High-definition tweeters

Prepare to hear nuance and detail in your favourite music that you never knew was there. Infinity uses edge-driven polyimide dome tweeters to achieve a frequency response up to 30,000 Hz. The "edge-driven" design creates a larger tweeter that handles more power and delivers smooth response way down into midrange frequencies as well. You'll hear a more clearly defined soundstage where you can picture the placement of every instrument.

Tweeter mounts included

While installing tweeters can sometimes prove challenging, Infinity includes versatile hardware for surface- or flush-mounting, making the job much easier in most vehicles.

Carbon fibre woofer with Plus One+ technology

Infinity uses a carbon fibre woofer that weighs less than traditional materials, so you don't need a ton of power to drive this woofer, but the oversized voice coil certainly allows for awesome power-handling if you're driving this system with an amp. Infinity's Plus One+ woofer technology extends the cone right up to the edge of the basket, giving you more surface area than with most comparable speakers. A bigger cone means more bass to complement the superior high-frequency response. The included external crossovers send the appropriate frequencies to the tweeters and woofers.

Want a 3-way Kappa Perfect system?

Infinity makes it easy to turn this Kappa Perfect 2-way component system into a 3-way system with the addition of optional 3-1/2" midrange speakers. Simply flip the switch on each Kappa Perfect crossover to a 3-way system configuration for a well-rounded sound. These speakers are sensitive enough that you can power them with an aftermarket stereo, but you'll get your best results feeding them plenty of power from an outboard amp — up to 100 watts RMS.

Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications.

Features

Plus One Woofer Cones: The Plus One woofer cones offer more surface area than other speakers that fit in the same size opening. This is accomplished by using a new basket design and hi-roll surround. The result is greater bass output and a significant increase in efficiency.

Terminals: The woofers' input terminals are set screws that will accept up to 14 gauge bare wire.

Tweeter Mounting: Using the included housings the tweeters can be flush mounted or surface mounted. The tweeter can pivot in the flush mount housing, so it can be directed to optimize imaging.

Tweeter Dimensions:

  Flush Mount Surface Mount
Mounting Height 0.473" 1.33"
Mounting Depth 1.383" screw depth
Frame Diameter 2.661" 2.25"
Cutout Diameter 2.125" N/A

Crossovers: The crossovers can be set to 2-way (the default position, for use with the included woofer and tweeter) or 3-way (for use with the included drivers plus the optional Kappa Perfect 300M midrange, sold separately). Each crossover also has a tweeter output level switch (choose between high and low output). The inputs and outputs are screw terminals that will accept bare wire or spade connectors up to 0.275" wide. There are four mounting holes in the base of each crossover.

Crossover Dimensions:

  • Length: 5-1/2"
  • Width: 7-15/16"
  • Height: 1-5/8"

Customer Q&A

4 questions already asked

Q
I have 2 - 10" sub woofers in the back of my suv, should I install bass blockers on the 5.25" speakers, if so what range of blockers do I need?
charlie  Aug 21, 2022

A
Greetings Charlie, and thank you for your question. Two part answer. If you are using an aftermarket stereo, you would not need the bass blockers, because you can block out bass going to the main speakers via settings in the stereo. If you are using a factory radio that does not have that capability, and a lot will not, then you would want to block out some of the low frequencies. For a 5.25 inch I would cut them off at 150 Hz.

Q
Will a 45W RMS microamp (sony) be enough to drive these "perfects"?

I don't know. They sound absolutely Terrible at low volume. If your not pushing them hard you would be happier with a lower end units. HI's way too hi can't get them to stop "screaming" at you. AND IN RUNNING A KAPPA four amp. "Designed for these speakers. Don't fall for the "great" sale price. First 2 pairs were defective out of the box. They have been phased out. They can't warranty the perfect 600's because no stock. Infinity doesn't even have them.

If you're Okay with lower listening levels the mini would be acceptable. If you're buying these speakers you likely are more demanding and will need something with a lot more headroom
richard  May 16, 2022
Q
what frequency are the tweeters crossed over at?

I'm afraid the crossover points are not included from the manufacturer. For more details on that, you may want to contact Infinity directly--their support number is 800-553-3332.

Q
can the perfect components be run at 2 ohms?
scott  Jan 11, 2017
1 answer
A
The Infinity Kappa Perfect 500 are 3.5 Ohm speakers so, no, they will not present a 2 Ohm load to your amp.
