I'm looking to get new 6.5" 3-ways up front on my Gen3 Camry and I've been looking at two speakers.
1. Kenwood KFC-1689ie (

vs.
2. Infinity Kappa 63.4I (

On paper, the Kenwoods seem to have a larger range in terms of frequency response, and I can also find them for about half the price of the Infinity's. However I also read some rave reviews for the Infinity's on sounddomain but haven't been able to find many reviews for the Kenwoods. I listened to a similar model Kenwood (I think KFC-1679ie) at Circuit City and they sounded pretty good in terms of clarity and bass.
I've had good experiences with my all Kenwood system so far (Kenwood MP3 head unit, 2x12" Kenwood subs, and 600W Kenwood amp) so I'm not sure if spending twice the amount of money on these Infinity's would really be any better in terms of noticeable sound. I'm not looking to go competition here, but just to have a sound system that's comparable to many premium factory packages coming on new cars.
