| psymo's Full Review: Infinity Kappa Perfect12.1 Car Subwoofer |
This opinion is going to be down to the point. If you want the Best bass, and great tone, Infinity is the way to go. Currently, Infinity has three major subwoofers out there. The Reference Series: the economy series, lower SPL. The Kappa Series: little more refined than the Reference, little more expensive. Kappa Perfect: These are made out to be the best subwoofers in the retail market now, and, in some respects, could be.
If you are not looking for a LOUD speaker, but want something that is accurate and sounds good, look towards the direction of Sony or Pioneer. Infinity did not score high in the area of frequency Range.
If you don't want accuracy, but want loudness, Infinity is also the way to go. This driver is the most versital driver out there. It can handle you lows when hooked up to the correct amplifier.
Some important factors include: A 12 inch Diameter. A power range of 75 to 350 watts of RMS (Remember this when you go to choose your Amplifier). It's maximum input power 1400 watts, which I have never heard what it sounds like with that many watts going to it. Now the sad part: It's frequency range is only 18 to 150 hz. This means it can only get the low-Lows. My Sonys has a Frequency range of 50 to 3500 hz, So it can act as my midbass too. The Perfect 12.1 has a Sound Pressure Level of 96 db. Significantly higher than the Xplods (@ 88 db).
All this car stereo stuff is about personal opinion, and that is the best way to go when selecting a driver.
If you want loud, accurate bass: Go for Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 (12 in Diameter) or 10.1 (10 in Diameter).
