I work for a company that allows its employees to buy direct from Harman. The discount is huge and the offer is almost too good to give up. The subs I am looking at are the Kappa Perfect 10.1. They msrp at $329 each but I can get them for ~$60 each. Should I go for them? As opposed to an Alpine Type E sub(would go for the R but they aren't available to me).

Also, I plan on going all Infinity since the discount is so big. I'm going to order a pair of Perfect 6.1's and a pair of Kappa 62.5i's.

I plan on running everything off of Infinity subs. A REF7540A 520w/4ch amp and a REF610A 600w amp for the subs. Will I have enough to power everything? Will I have to buy a capacitor or another battery?

And like I said, the discount is a lot(way more then 50% off of msrp) so it will be really hard to pass up. Will it be worth it for me to go with Alpine Type E or Type S stuff at a higher cost?

 

04_CS_Z33,

Can you get me a pair of Infinity Perfect 6.1 (hehe). I pay for the cost and shipping.

I'll take a pair of Perfect 6.1 and Kappa 62.5i's as well :P

 

I can only get one complete "system."

 

Great price. My friend who works at CompUSA gets the same Harman Kardon discount .. cept IIRC for him, it was only on home audio Or I'd be all up on some JBL BP1200.1 ..

The subs are a great deal, but that Ref amp .. I've heard about some clipping issues w/that amp .. might wanna research it before you buy it.

And some people think the Kappas/Perfects are 'bright' for a component speaker. I think it's fine, but thats all listener pref.

 

Yea I was worried about the amp since it's in the Ref series but Infinity doesn't make any other amps do they?

Also, I never actually put together my own system. Is the wattage on the amps ideal for the speakers/subs?

 

the perfects sound great. I have two infinity kappa 100.3se and they sound good but the perfects are even better

 

looking for some good deals on kappa perfect components 6.1

 

i got mine off of ebay for about $219 i think. They sound simply amazing, and i paired them with 6003i rears.

 

Guys,

Do you recommend bridging them the amp to power them?


I have a phoenix gold R5.0:4, thats just 80 x 4. Is it enough to power them?


I might not going with the rear. Not sure yet. Any site have good deals on the Perfect 6.1?

I have no experience with the Infinity amps, just passing along what I've read. I'd personally go w/better amps, but thats just me.

Assuming you get the actual 520w/4 & 600w output out at the right levels (4ohm for fronts, ??ohm for sub) .. you should be good powerwise.

Tractng: Bridging to 2ch? I'd make sure your amp supports it first. 80watts is close to the power level of the perfects, tho I prefer to have too much power. (keeping gains lower / having headroom)

For pretty good prices try eBay. Warranty over 1yr is a joke. Many companies only honor the warranty after 1yr if you had it installed at an authorized dealer. (pfft)

 

So what do you suggest as a good amp? I know Infinity speakers are pretty good. Never heard anything about their amps tho. Bad? I never had a problem with any of my Audiobahn equipment.

 

If I can only get a good deal like that no questions asked. I've heard the Infinity speakers and they sound great on the Z. I'll be getting that and have a JL amp power it up. Considered the JL 'coz it matches the silver color on the door handles.

 

I have an all Infinity speaker system. Happy so far.

 

I have infinity perfect 6.1 front and rear powered by a jl 300/4

infinity perfect 10.1d subs running off a jl 1000/1

I'm very happy.

 

GOOD amps: Tru, Sinfoni, Brax, BK Butler, Helix, DLS, some Zapco, some Phoenix Gold, some Arc Audio

Pretty good: US Amps, PPI, a/d/s, some Eclipse

Decent/good value: DEI/Directed/Viper, Avionixx, Monitor, some Lanzar, some of the older stuff (read:cheap b/c of age) made by Zed Audio like US Acoustics, Lanzar, ESX, Zapco

I'm sure I missed quite a few brands. It's 6am, sorry
