I'm going to replace my factory speakers with components and I can't chose between the:
Polk Audio db3055 or
Infinity Kappa 50.1cs

I will be powering then with the factory cd-player for now but later I will be puting in a kenwood Excelon KDC-X811 and maybea small amp! Thks Guys for any help

I just put the Infinity kappas in last week and they sound excellent!, I ordered the 5x7 componets. I flush mounted the tweeter in the little area above the power mirror, it looks alot better then surface mounting. the crossover was a little tricky, but I mounted mine in the door behind the 5x7.

Good Luck

Either one of those speakers will do you just fine and you wont really start to notice a BIG difference until you add the amp. Then you will notice a BIG difference!

Good Luck!

I'm powering them off a sony cd player right now (19watts/rms) and they sound fine. I do have an amp I want to hook up, whenever I get around to it. I'll get some pics scanned and send them to you. it may take a few days.

i have Orion Extreme component speakers in the front. They sound very good and can handle anything you put at em'. There less then the Kappas and they put out more mid bass than the kapppas do. Kappas have more of the high tinny sound. I have them in my ranger.
