by John Pollard Designed for more clarity Do you want to hear the details you've been missing in your car's sound system? You'll enjoy exceptional clarity from Infinity's Reference X Series REF-8602cfx 5"x7"/6"x8" speakers. Infinity's UniPivot design allows you to aim each textile, edge-driven tweeter toward your ears, so you enjoy excellent stereo imaging even if the speakers are mounted way down low in your doors. Each tweeter features a level control switch so you can boost the brightness to your taste. Larger woofer for more bass The REF-8602cfx appeals to bassheads too, with tough polypropylene woofers and durable hi-roll rubber surrounds that deliver strong low-frequency performance. Each Plus One+ woofer sports a significantly larger cone than speakers of similar size, adding plenty of punch to the speaker's smooth and accurate highs. Great for any power supply You can power these speakers with up to 60 watts of RMS power — they'll work great with an external amplifier, but they're also sensitive enough to be a good match for a factory or aftermarket stereo. Plus, Infinity comes up with a safe way to get a little more power out of your system — these 3-ohm speakers combine with the speaker wire in your car so your car stereo sees actual 4-ohm impedance. Grilles are not included — factory grilles are appropriate for most installations. Product Highlights:6"x8" 2-way speakers (pair)Plus One+ polypropylene woofer cone with hi-roll rubber surround1" UniPivot edge-driven, textile dome tweeterTrue Four Ohm Impedance technology: speaker's 3-ohm impedance combines with speaker wire impedance for a 4-ohm loadcompatible with virtually all factory or aftermarket car stereospower range: 5-60 watts RMS (180 watts peak power)frequency response: 49-21,000 Hzsensitivity: 93 dBtop-mount depth: 2-7/16"warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.
2014 XLT F150 SCAB Written By Shawn L, Tennessee on Friday, May 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So you're thinking about upgrading you're factory door speakers huh? You can stop looking you found em! If you're an f150 owner the 4.2 in head unit powers these just fine,sound soon much better than the stuff from overseas! One thing though I used the Dynomat 10 in pieces on both front doors,be sure to cut out from around the screw tabs the speakers mount to! If you don't,you'll be sorry!! Pros: Mids and highs Cons: None yet!
Amp these Written By Trent, Bear river wyoming on Tuesday, April 07, 2015 Amp these and see what happens they are even better Pros: All Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx / Solid Speaker Written By Kclinton59, Washington on Tuesday, April 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As a long Infinity speaker buyer was excited to see what these speakers would sound like in my Ford Expedition. I have to say I was impressed but not overwhelmed. They are extremely solid in the mids almost to a default. It tends to drown out the tweeters almost muffling them to a degree. Bass is solid with a punch but won't overwhelm you. I also installed Pioneer TS-A6885R's. I tried the Infinity's up front and the Pioneer's in the rear. Again the Infinity's mids just dominate the sound. For S&G's I swapped one rear and one front crossing the speaker setup (Infinity LF & RR, Pioneer RF & LR). To my amazement sound was extremely good. The mids of the Infinity's and the overall good reproduction of the Pioneers work great. I am using the factor HU and do have a sub in the rear so there is just enough bass to work well in this scenario. Bottom line, Infinity's are very good speakers and you will not go wrong but make sure to add, at a minimum, subwoofer to round out the bottom end of your sound environment. The Pioneer's in my scenario were a great match. Pros: Solid mids and highs. Bass has punch but will not rattle your windows or knock you out of your seat. Don't forget your sub. Great overall speaker. Cons: At this point none. Just don't expect to blown out of your car with these speakers. Just enjoy how solid sounding they are.
Infinity reference speakers Written By Rlarson, Juneau, Alaska on Monday, March 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice product. I decided to purchase Infinity again, first purchace nearly 20 years ago for Infinity 152's for my home speakers. Quality is still there. These have completely upgraded the audio in my 99 F250. Looking forward to replacing the head unit to get the most out of them. I already had an amp and a name brand subwoofer installed and these stepped it up a notch. My money was well spent! Pros: Ease of installation Cons: None
very good upgrade Written By Bill K, Illinois on Monday, March 09, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have a new 2014 Ford F-150 Super cab........ and I don't know when Ford will get the message that their $8 china made speakers are absolute crap! After paying that much for the truck, I expected better......... however, after installing these Infinity's .......it's a world of difference. I did not upgrade the standard receiver unit because of all the integration that comes with it and I am unsure of how to do it. But these speakers easily place at twice the volume with clarity and NONE of the boominess that the original speakers had. Installation was very easy with Crutchfield's instructions and their install kit. Just be sure that you hear the "click" when connecting the Crutchfield wiring adapter to the original Ford speaker cable harness. I had to take off the door panel one more time after I installed it the first time, (because I didn't full seat the speaker wire harness adapter connection). But once that was done, the second door took no more than ten minutes.......what a world of difference...... and they can crank pretty loud too, with just the original Ford head unit. Pros: Super easy to install in with no mods and you just can't be the clarity of these things! Tilt the tweeter up and push in the 3db button on the front of the speaker before you install them and you will wonder why you waited so long to upgrade from those horrible things that come with the original truck. Cons: None, but you may want to put on the foam rubber stick on pads (on the back of each speaker, takes only seconds) that come with them, just to keep any unwanted vibrations from happening. You don't really need them because they tighten up so good against the door, but I did it anyway just for insurance.
infinity reference Written By sean, cape girardeau, mo on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding speakers. Very nice highs without getting tinny. Being used with a sub so speakers are crossed over at 120 hz, so it makes very clear mids. Pros: Installed very easy. Incredible sound Cons: Sorry, none.
Great quality speakers! Written By GSB, New Hampshire on Thursday, January 08, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Smooth, clear, balanced mid range, treble, adequate base for the size of speaker. Easy on the ears, very little strain. Nice details in the music even though they are in truck b most of the [offsiteUrl] down back roads Pros: High quality product, always seem to buy Infinities, never a bad experience. Easy install, piece of cake with the supplied cables. Cons: Wish the Ford F150 could hold a larger speaker for a little more bass, no cons for the Infinities
Amazing Speakers for Ford F-150! Written By ddbobrow, Tennessee on Saturday, December 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have used Infinity speakers for many years on various vehicles. I finally got around to replacing the stock speakers in my 1999 F-150 Supercab. Night and day difference. Not overpowering with bass or low tones. Crisp clear sound! Love them! Pros: Quality product at a decent price. Usual Crutchfield top notch service Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Mark T, Texas on Thursday, December 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are awesome. They are extremely clear. I love the way you can hear each tap on the hi hats and the sound of a drum stick on a ride cymbal. The bass is good and its clean. The factory speakers had excellent bass but they were muddy sounding, but the infinity are so clean sounding. Pros: Excellent highs, good clean bass. Cons: none
2010 Ford Escape Written By Schalk USN, Shawnee Kansas on Thursday, December 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchase the speakers just after Thanksgiving 2014. I bought one pair and got another Free Crutchfield sent all the necessary paperwork speakers installed with ease. You can install the speakers without taking the door panel completely off. Just use a prop at the bottom of the panel to hold it open. This way you don't have to disconnect all the cabling for the door handle. Pros: Speakers do sound very nice. They are 5x7 in and all doors. Cons: None
Best Bang for your Buck! Written By strongarm, Sarasota, Fl on Thursday, December 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got these to replace my OEM speakers without the factory sub of my '13 F150. Installation was simple (be sure to use plastic pry tools!) So far, they Mid's and high's are great. I have basic EQ control with my sync head, and you can't beat these. I got them on black Friday (BOGO!) but was going to buy them a month earlier even if they weren't BOGO. Will be installing another set in my other car and perhaps adding an amp to give them more life with a small simple sub. Pros: Quality, look, sound Cons: None
Infiity REF-8602cfx Written By GB, IA on Sunday, October 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to replace the poor factory speakers in my 2011 F150. The Infinity speakers produce a rich, full sound. Pros: Easy install. You can aim the tweeters where you need to according to application. Cons: None. Wish I would have bought them sooner.
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Anonymous, Harrisonburg, VA on Thursday, October 16, 2014 I now get clear crisp sound. Easy installation with the instructions provided.
low price high performance Written By rude dog, Charlotte,NC on Monday, October 13, 2014 Very impressed with these speakers for the money they can't be beat.I've had expensive speakers and cheap speakers these are without a doubt the best performing speakers I've had they even out perform some that cost way more!If these sound horrible to you always double check phase I've made that mistake myself crossover and tune properly you'll be satisfied! Pros: Clear,directional tweeters,efficiency is good enough to be ran off a head unit but amps are always better to reach full potential with clean amp of course.Easy hook up Cons: ANY speaker should come with grills this could be a selling point for some people. 2ohms would be better if pairing with amp however 3 is better for a head unit.
Sounds Great Written By DarronsDad, Iowa on Wednesday, October 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have put these speakers in a 95 Mustang, 99 Ranger Extended cab, and now a 98 F150 Extended cab. I purchased all from Crutchfield. If you like your tweeters the +3db setting should be depressed to take advantage. It really brightens the sound and that is something I like. Pros: With the exception of the Ranger They all sound incredibly better than the stock speakers. They were easy to install and the hardware sent with them connected perfectly. The install instructions are fairly easy to follow and you do not have to drill any holes or make any modifications. Cons: The only problem with the Ranger was with the rear speakers and that was not the fault of Crutchfield. They really rattled the rear doors. I should have purchased the recommended boxes or inserts to dampen the spaces. I know that will make the bass not have as much punch but would probably stop the rating.
Great Speakers Written By Damon, Naples, FL on Sunday, August 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these speakers for installation in the doors and rear deck of my 2014 Ford Mustang. The speaker wire harnesses provided by Crutchfield were a perfect match, and the Master Sheet instructions were informative. Installation in the doors was easy. The rear deck was more difficult, but simpler than I imagined. Once installed, I did not use the +3dB Tweeter Level Control on any of the speakers. Originally, I installed these speakers without an amplifier. They sounded clearer to me than the stock speakers, but the bass response I was hoping for was not there. My car stereo was, and still is, the stock unit. Afterward, I installed the JL Audio XD700/5v2. Once the Infinity Reference X speakers had the power of the amplifier behind them, they sounded incredible to me. The bass response is definitely there. I can place my hand over the "grill" holes in my plastic door panel, and feel the air move during kick drum hits in rock music or bass notes in hip-hop, etc. The frequency of the speakers are quite good and they reproduce a lot of the bass frequencies quite well. If you purchase these for a vehicle, I highly recommend matching an amplifier to them. The difference is night and day to me. I also installed the JL Audio Sealed BassWedge (CS112-WXv2) to compliment my setup, and it's perfect for my needs. Even with the subwoofer in the trunk, I don't use the high-pass filter (on the amplifier) for the door speakers. They just sound great to me, and I'm completely happy. Pros: Easy to Install, Great Sound Cons: None
They Sound Great as Expected Written By ED, Maine on Friday, June 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installation was a breeze with the included instructions. The sound is a big improvement to the factory speakers. Well worth the money paid.
Proper sound Written By Chris, Glens Falls, NY on Monday, June 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These aren't going to thump your crappy sub-compact car down the street, but they will give you a very broad spectrum of accurate and pleasing audio. I'm a recording engineer by trade and these are as good as you can get unless you're willing to use an amp and spend a lot more $$$ per speaker. Pros: Accurate, non fatiguing, smooth Cons: For BEST results, they really should be amped. Not bad at all from factory deck/amp though!
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Anonymous, Pollar bluff, Mo. on Sunday, April 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound great,fast shipment
Solid Choice Written By ShaneM, Dayton on Sunday, April 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced the stock speakers in my 2012 Mustang GT and was pleasantly surprised by the increased quality of sound. Overall, I would say this is a very solid speaker for its price. Pros: Good with highs and bass. Cons: None yet, but I've only had them in for a week.
Infinity is fantastic Written By JimmyS, Atlanta Ga on Saturday, April 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love love how easy it was in to install these speakers. The directions are very clear and easy to follow.I had zero issues. Pros: sounds is great, well built. Cons: NONE
Terribly disapointing Written By Virgil, Texas on Thursday, April 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have read the other reviews and I just don't understand them. The factory speakers on my 2010 F150 sounded much better than these. I am using the stock Sync head unit and these speakers just sound horrible. I have had them about 4 months now so they are definitely broken in, but they just sound like trash. There is little details to the highs and mids and the bass just washes out everything. I have tried turning down the bass all the way, but the upper ranges still don't sound clear. I drive an 2008 Chevy at work with one blown speaker and the one working speaker still sounds better than the 4 of these I put in my truck. Installation was a breeze, but I just feel like I threw my money away on these garbage speakers. I spoke with the advisor and specifically said I didn't want a bass heavy sound. I've tried satellite radio, terrestrial radio, CDs, input line and it is all the same. Just awful. I do not have a problem with Crutchfield - the people are nice and professional, but I just can't get over the feeling that these speakers are refurbs or defective junk. Pros: None. Zero. Cons: Awful sound. Muddy bass competing with flat highs. Just absolutely the worst sounding speakers.
great quality speakers Written By joe r, finksburg md on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great sounding speakers with a perfect fit in my ford F250 and with the included wiring harness adapters no need to splice anything,just plug in,stick em in the hole, and crank it up. Crutchfield delivers once again with fast delivery,packaging,and even the master sheet which was emailed to me before the speakers even arrived so I had time to check everything out about removing the door panels. it was perfect. install time was about 30 min. I am going to get another pair for behind the seats. thanks Crutchfield Pros: quality built speakers with easy installation Cons: no cons about speaker themselves but next time I will also get new speaker wire, factory wire in my truck is very thin and cheap better wire will improve the sound even more
amazing sound for 5X7's Written By Shawn, massachusetts on Sunday, March 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) replaced all four factory speakers with these in my Mazda 3 and they sound amazing. install was a breeze as they were a direct fit. Pros: great bass for the size. the adjustable tweeters are a great feature.
Ease of installation! Written By Anonymous, NC on Saturday, January 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first time installing anything stereo in my car. I was surprised how efficient the team was helping with my purchase! I will continue to use them for the rest of my life!! Pros: Everything!! They are the best for a reason!! Cons: Not any that I can think of!!
Awesome speakers Written By Anonymous, Florida on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers and they don't distort at high volume!!! Pros: Fast shipping and a great product. I will only deal with crutchfield now for all of my electronics.

Infinity Car Speakers Written By Richard, Miami, FL on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome speakers..exactly what I was looking for when upgrading my factory speakers. More clarity, and more high frequency response. Would highly recommend these speakers to anyone who is looking to upgrade their factory speakers. Pros: Clarity, detail in sound Cons: none
Good value Written By F250, Atlanta, GA on Sunday, January 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Performs as anticipated and at a good price. These speakers function very well without an external amp. Pros: Value. Efficiency. Cons: None.
speakers Written By MarkB, Montgomery Il on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound great- really add dept to the music
2010 F150 Crew Cab Written By Troy O, Kansas City on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They sound great, so much better than the factory speakers, easy install. Great information from Crutchfield on how to disassemble the door panels. I have always had Infinity speakers, both for a vehicle and home systems. Nice and clean sound, clarity is great, bass is good as long as you don't push them. I do not have external amp which may help the system. In any system, if you want bass your are going to feel, you need a sub, period. Well done Infinity as always. Pros: Good clean, crisp highs, bass is tight. Cons: None
Great sound on a budget Written By Jay, Lexington, SC on Monday, December 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these to replace stock speakers in 2008 Mazda Tribute. These are a great factory replacement on a budget. No modifications were needed to install. The sound quality paired with Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS is pretty amazing. Did notice distortion at higher volumes with music with a lot of bass though. Overall I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with this purchase.
Great speakers Written By BrandonB, Bristol, TN on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Second set of Infinity Reference speakers I've owned. As such I knew what kind of quality to expect from the product. Great mids and highs, bass could be slightly better, but short of having subs I don't know that I've had a set of speakers perform this well, and who can argue with a buy 1, get 1 price? Pros: Great, smooth sound, pivoting tweeters, decent midbass Cons: Low end response(easily corrected with a sub if you feel the need to have that kind of rumble
Infinity Reference X REF-8602CFX Written By Doug, Phoenix, AZ on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome speakers. Picked up on Black Friday sale. Glad I did. Sounds way better than my old stock Ford speakers. Pros: Sound great. Aimable tweeters. Fit great.
Great soundstage for the price Written By BW, New Orleans, LA on Friday, December 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers surprised me by how well they performed, particularly for the price. They're not perfect, but they do a fantastic job of faithfully reproducing the intended sound. The (not so) bad: At upper volumes there exists some distortion, particularly in the upper vocal range (picky ear). Lower frequencies normally found is lacking. The good: Very clean, accurate sound, which allowed me to hear much more of the soundstage, with greater detail and fullness. The notable: These 2-way speakers might not even need distinct tweeters. I've had a 6.1 channel setup with Polks and separate tweeters (+sub) for a year until this upgrade, and the sound was okay. These Infinity's do the job better hands down with just a 4.1 channel setup. Also, tweeters have additional +/- 3 db settings to play around with. I have mine ON (4.1 rig), but I will probably disable that feature if I add Kappa tweeters because at present they sound distressed at louder volumes, and, with elevated upper frequency EQ settings you'll get a background hiss. Sound is really fantastic for the price, particularly when paired with a powered subwoofer. Very pleased, would recommend.
Great speaker, great customer support! Written By Jim S., Palm Coast, FL on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had a problem with one of the speakers not being glued properly to the speaker frame. Crutchfield was excellent and got out a new pair to me. The sound is fantastic! I'm using the stock Ford Nav/Shaker system. Note: as others here have noted as well, you have to cut off two metal tabs on the frame for it to fit. Pros: Fantastic sound from the stock head unit. Great speakers for a great price! Cons: They don't install themselves!
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By S308, Trenton, NJ on Tuesday, November 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These were used to upgrade Ford factory speakers which were poor at best. They were a nice drop-in upgrade for my Ford system with Sirius radio. The stock speakers sort of made Sirius radio a waste of money, now it will be much more enjoyable. The improvement in sound quality is just amazing. I enjoy a wide range of music like 50's, 60's, 70's, Rock, The Blues and Smooth Jazz. After testing it today I think I'll be enjoying the factory radio with my new speakers for a long time to come. These were a Crutchfield Support Rep recommendation. Pros: Crutchfield provided the excellent support documentation and nice wiring harness adapters to make it the upgrade very easy to perform. Cons: None
Wharra fool Written By Anonymous, Albany,NY on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) WHY didn't I switch these speakers into my truck years ago??????????????????? Pros: I can hear the music Cons: 3 years of suffering

Five Star Product Written By Anonymous, Robesonia, PA on Sunday, September 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are GREAT sounding speakers. The highs are crisp and clear, the bass is rich and full. I replaced the original factory Infinity's with these because of extensive research into every spec. Crutchfield offered. These speakers will more than satisfy your expectations. I've waited 14 years to replace the factory speakers and I wish I did it sooner. I missed out on a lot of audio pleasure! Pros: Great audio detail, easy install, adjustable tweeter angle, great reputation. Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By LMNOP, Pennsyltuckey on Friday, September 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are great. I initially thought I would need to add an amp, but they sound great with just the head units power.
Speakers in 2009 Ford Escape Written By Bill, Castro Valley cA on Sunday, August 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced both front door speakers in my 2009 Ford Escape, which had the standard 4 speaker factory speakers. Could not tell much difference before and after, the speakers did not make a lot of difference (although they are slightly clearer than before). Pros: Fit perfectly and easy to install with Crutchfield wiring harness and their great instructions Cons: Did not make much of a difference
Just plain WOW - Don't hesitate!!! Written By PaulH, Myrtle Beach, SC on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) SO, my wife's factory BOSE speakers decided to start rotting in her 2007 Mazda 3 Hatchback so I was on a quest to fine the best ones. Now, the BOSE factory system does have an external amp, a tweeter in the door, and a small subwoofer, so I knew my work was cut out for me. I had to: a) find 2 ohm speakers (these are 3 ohm, FYI) to replace the door speakers so the impedance load wouldn't screw anything up and I could draw enough power from the amp b) make sure they fit without needing extra brackets, etc etc c) make sure there wasn't going to be too many "highs" since we now how a door tweeter AND the tweeter on this. A and B, easy to research. C? Not so much, because i couldn't find any info on whether the bose system uses a crossover on the midrange speakers. I am also a person to ALWAYS listen to speakers before I buy them. ALWAYS. These I did not, only read the reviews. "OK, GET ON WITH IT, WHAT'S THE REVIEW!?!?!" Bottom line, buy these beasts. The audio replacing the factory BOSE is AMAZING. Absolutely amazing. I was worried the amp wouldn't be able to power them enough, but turning the system all the way up causes distortion on the rest of the system before these speakers. And they harmonize WONDERFULLY with the rest of the speakers. You can hear things on these speakers we never heard in songs before, like subtle little tones or guitar riffs. We like heavy metal, acoustic, hard rock and all of it is VERY clear. Anyway, love the speakers. Simple as that.
Good clean sound Written By Scott N, Atlanta Area on Sunday, July 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced factory speakers in daughter's '04 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Powered with Pioneer AVH-X2500BT and Alpine MRP-F300. Great end results with a very pleased 18 year-old who listens to classic rock, hip hop and pop. Paired with a Sound Ordnance B8-PTD to handle the low end. The system work well together and the directional tweeters in the Infinitys make a difference. Opted not to use the high end boost in the speaker. Pros: Sound quality, ease of install, directionally adjustable tweeter Cons: None
Infinity Reference X 8602cfx Written By ATY, Southern MD on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 INCREDIBLE!!!!! Bought these to replace the OEM speakers in my 2012 Ford F-150 Supercab. The OEM speakers were just awful. I am extremely impressed with these speakers. As someone wrote in another review they sound much better if you select the +3db option which is a nice touch. They have plenty of good clean, clear sound with plenty of punch for a 6x8. Install time was about 40 minutes total and was very simple, even for the first time installer. I have these mated with a 10" MTX Loaded Thunderform. I also installed a remote gain adjustment to select how much thump I'm in the mood for. At a later date, I will be installing these in the rear doors as well. The sound is that good!!! After that I will be replacing the tweeters with FOCAL. To really hear the clarity of the Infinities, music from an ipod or stick is best. FM also sounds much better, but lacks the clean digital clarity. You will not have any regrets with this product. Pros: The Audiophile in me lives again. GREAT super clean, distortion free sound. Cons: Absolutely none.
Infinity speakers will always set the mark of excellence. Written By Tom R, Apopka, Fl on Saturday, May 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These fit right in the front of my Expedition with no worries and the sound is unsurpassed. Pros: Excellent sound and quality. Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By 2dogs7, Indianapolis IN. on Friday, April 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced the horrible stock speakers in my 2013 F150 STX with these speakers. I can't express how much of an improvement these made in the otherwise stock sound system. I had no problem whatsoever dropping these in with no mods of any kind. The adapters for the Ford wiring harness did not fit tight on the speaker lugs so I soldered them to the speakers. Probably a good idea regardless. Then I placed plastic tie wraps around the wires and speakers. Anyway, These speakers sound GREAT! Cristal clear. The highs are sharp and crisp. The mid-range is separate and highly articulate. The bass is nice and tight. You will not get a lot of bass with these (or any 6x8), but what is there is well defined an responsive. Additionally the tweeters are adjustable with two settings. I found that the -3db cut some harshness out of what some recordings have and better defined the mid-range. But that is subjective and that is why the are switchable. These speakers are also very efficient. Clear at low volumes and even better when driven. Even with the stock head. Overall these speakers sound great and are a huge improvement over the original equipment. I highly recommend them. Pros: Adjustable tweeter. Drops right in with no modifications. Great sounding. Tight bass. Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By pierow2779, San Angelo, TX on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These Speakers sound so much better than the original. Vocals are much crisper and the bass response is exceptional even on the stock radio. The sound got better when I did change the radio though. Pros: Very close t o direct drop in as you can get from the aftermarket. Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By KyleR, Lombard, Il on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Great speakers, if you plan on adding a sub. The mids and highs are very clean, but they definitely lack bass. I hooked mine up to an old 50 watt alpine that I had and they sounded very clean, but not as much of that deep rich bass, my stock speakers had much more. Overall great quality though. After I installed a set of 10 in. infiniti reference subs in back the system was perfect. Pros: Great mids and highs crisp sound great quality Cons: Lacks bass

What I expected from Infinity Written By Anonymous, Palatka, Fl on Saturday, March 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After installing these speakers for both front and back speakers in my F350, I can say I am very pleased with the quality and sound these speakers produce. The only flaw was Crutchfields instructions, it was minor, the socket size to remove speakers and door panel was different than what the instruction showed. Pros: Quality/Construction and sound great Cons: None so far
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By JesseK, Mahwah, NJ on Saturday, February 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in my 2009 F150 Super Crew Cab, and thought the mids and highs were very good, but they lacked even the amount of bass present in the stock speakers. I wanted to install something where I could just replace the speakers without adding amps or subs. I returned these to Crutchfield, and bought Kicker KS68 speakers instead. I was much happier with the Kickers. The Infinity speakers would be a great choice for someone who is looking to add subs later on. I was very pleased with the clarity, but wanted a little more low end. Pros: Clear Mids and Highs Cons: Lacked Bass on stock head unit power
Awesome Speakers Written By Thomas.F, Franklin, OH on Saturday, February 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers were exactly as described. I replaced my stock F150 speakers and the sound difference is pretty incredible. Very easy to install, Crutchfield guide is the best in the industry... Pros: Simple Install, Fast, Awesome Sound Cons: None
Good, with a couple of caveats Written By DougVK, California on Friday, January 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in a 2012 Escape with Premium sound - replaced all 4 speakers (front and rear doors). The overall sound is better, but the improvement isn't as dramatic as you might expect. They are much better than the single-cone rears and somewhat better than the 2-way front speakers that come with the car. However, there are a couple of issues I discovered: 1 - The Infinities are not as efficient as the stock speakers. That's a problem because the Ford "Premium" system includes a subwoofer and (as far as I can tell) there's no way to adjust the level of the sub. So you need to turn down the bass at the head unit to stop the booming in the back, which is not ideal and probably the reason these don't sound as rich as I was expecting. 2 - After a few weeks, my speakers started cutting in and out. After some trial and error I discovered that the problem was the wiring harness adapters that Crutchfield supplies. Although they were correctly connected to the Ford harnesses, the electrical connections were not solid. I cut the connectors off and spliced the wires directly and they work fine now. Strangely, this only affected the front speakers; maybe the connectors were slightly out of spec. Pros: Very clean sound - extended highs. Great build quality. Cons: May not be best choice for Fords with Subwoofer - recommend finding more efficient speaker; Connectors did not make reliable electrical connection.
A++ A must for factory speaker upgrade Written By Chet, CA on Friday, January 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed it on my son's 2000 Explorer along with the Pioneer FH-X700BT head unit and it sounded great for what he needed it for!! Crisp highs & a good mid bass!! Pros: Good sound, no distortion at high levels, great fit in the factory speaker location Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Anonymous, Fredericksburg, VA on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers, 100% improvement over the factory speakers Ford Installs. Be advised if your NAV system includes a tweeter in the door panel, it will need to be disconnected to use, with the great sounds produced from these speakers there is no need for the factory tweeter. Pros: Great clear and powerful sound Cons: None
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Vince B, Pulaski, NY on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers and a great price. I am very happy with the sound quality of these speakers. I am running these as rear speakers through an Alpine KTP 445U amp off a Kenwood deck. Front speakers are a pair of Rockford Fosgate Prime R1682. Comparing the two I am more impressed with the sound of the Infinities over the Fosgates. The Fosgates tend to distort at higher volume long before the Infinities. After adding the little Alpine amp these speakers really came to life. Crisp highs and great sounding mids. I'm using these strickly for my highs and mids as I'm also running a Sound Ordnance B-8PT powered sub that I must say, I'm also very impressed with. All this is in an 05 F-250. It's not going to rock the neighborhood but it will definitely deaden any noise or voices that may be along for the ride with you. Pros: All good so far! Cons: none
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Byron, Irving, TX on Monday, January 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in my 03 Ford Mustand and the installation was very easy. I replaced these speakers with my older Polk ones and these Infinity ones just blew away the older speakers. I have my speakers connected to an amp. and they sound great with no distortion. Pros: Good sound, no distortion, fits great.
Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx Written By Anonymous, Syracuse,NY on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not overly impressed with these speakers , alougth definately better..I notice distortion at the highs and low hissing with no volume..could be my system..? Crutchfield Had a better deal compared to another retailer which is why i went with them...beginning to wonder about expensive aftermarket components ..
Great gift! Written By Anonymous, Cave Creek, AZ on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Christmas gift for my daughter's 99 mustang. She loves the sound and I have to say I am impressed as well! Pros: Fit like a glove. Clear sound. Enough bass without an amplifier. Cons: None so far.
Good speaker for the money Written By JonathanG, College Station,TX on Thursday, November 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these in my 02 mustang not long after installing a Pioneer head unit. The install was a breeze thanks to the detailed instructions that Crutchfield provides. Seemed to get better highs out of these speakers, but as far as bass I cant notice much of a difference from what i heard i would. Maybe i am just not fine tuning my head unit to this right, very possible. The only downfall i had with these is that the spade terminal on them are very brittle and i almost broke one off when trying to plug in my harnesss. also had to use some nuts and bolts when reintalling since the factory screws were not getting these speakers snug. Pros: Good quality, good sound, good price Cons: brittle spade terminals
Very Happy with these in my 2012 Ford F150 XLT Written By Rich, Omaha, NE on Thursday, November 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced garbage factory stock speakers on F150 with stock H/U (not Sony), no AMP, no Sub. The speakers were easy to install. Mounts with screws that held the factory speakers in....this is a big deal as I had to return a nice pair of Pioneer TS-D6802R speakers that would not mount with the rather large pan-head factory screw because of the very limiting plastic bezel around the speaker. If you use a different screw, as I tried, you strip to plastic ford fasteners because a standard 8 x1" screw that comes with most aftermarket speakers has a thread that is too tight. Pros: Sound quality, even with weak factory H/U. Cons: Little tough to get the wire harness connections the speaker leads...but patience prevailed.
Great speakers Written By 11Escape, West Chester Pennsylvania on Thursday, November 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought a 2011 ford escape new last summer with fords "premium" sound which is a joke. After having the car for a few months the speakers started rattling as if they were blown already. Ford would not replace them because they said there wasn't anything wrong. I bought these speakers and it took care of the rattling and also gave a much better sound. I only replaced the front speakers but after hearing how good they sound I will be buying them for the back also. Pros: Great sound, high quality Cons: None
Great Speakers Written By Patrick, Pflugerville, TX on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm a longtime customer of Crutchfield and these aren't my first Infinity speakers. I hadn't really made up my mind about new speakers but when these went on sale I went ahead and bit. Glad I did. Even without a deck upgrade the sound quality is so much better. As always you get everything you need and the install was very easy. I put these in a Mazda 4 door pickup and they fit perfectly. Pros: Great price, great clear sound and easy install.
Easy Installation Written By PaulS, Palatine, IL on Thursday, September 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers took less than an hour to install on my Mazda 3 hatchback. The car specific master sheet and included wire harness allowed me to install the speaker using only the included parts. The sound is much improved but I feel an amplifier would be needed to reach the speakers true potential.
Great system enhancement Written By GregK, Dayton, OH on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these speakers in the rear of my 98 F150. They are powered by by a 40 watt external amp ran off my JVC KD-AHD59 Arsenal HU. I had no problems installing these. The included instructions were very helpful. I opted not to run a sub woofer and have no regrets. The bass and highs from these speakers are very impressive. Ifinity hit it out of the ball park with these speakers. Pros: Probably the best sound you are going to get for the money. Cons: I have a hard time not really cranking up the volume.
Great upgrade to stock speakers Written By JohnJ, Indianapolis, IN on Tuesday, July 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased these speakers to upgrade the factory units in my son's 2002 Taurus. These are a vast improvement over the stock speakers - much better bass response and overall sound. Installation was easy in both doors and the rear deck, with one exception. Both door speakers caused an interference with the power window mechanism which would not allow the windows to go all the way down. We removed the speakers and added shims to the mounting tabs along with a thicker gasket around the basket. All is good now - no interference and much improved sound quality.
Great upgrade to stock system Written By Andrew, Denver on Monday, June 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in a 2003 Mountaineer with the "Premium" audiophile package. Off the factory head unit and without an amp, these speakers were still night & day better than the stock "premium" speakers. Great clarity and just sound better as they get louder. High & mids are great, and the bass is surprisingly good. Took out the factory amp/sub for a couple days to replace the sub, and even without the sub in the car (just the new infinitys) I still had good full sound. These speakers are a no-brainer upgrade to any stock Ford system that takes 6x8's. Pros: Easy install, sound great in stock system without other aftermarket components. Cons: None
Awesome Written By DMTZ, Cameron, TX on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These fit my F150 Platinum like a glove. The sound quality is by far an awesome upgrade. Cant believe how much sound comes out of these speakers. Pros: Sound is awesome Cons: None
Terrific Speakers at a Great Price Written By bridythesundevil, Phoenix, AZ on Friday, May 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Terrific speakers! I installed them in the front and rear doors of my Ford Expedition. They really improved the sound quality of the factory deck! Pros: Great full, rich sound. Better highs, mids, and lows even with a factory deck. Easy to install. Great price for a high quality product. Cons: None
Legendary Harman quality Written By JoshcomJ, FrankfoRt ky on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Product is just as advertised. Easy installation in an 06 f150 supercab. Has turntable tweeter and 3 db gain button to get the most out of your highs. Would do well with a "system" or just by themselves with a factory HU. As a matter of fact, makes the lights dim a little on my HU... If that gives you an idea of the output. Can't go wrong.. Affordable quality. Pros: Easy install, wiring harness from ceutchfield, nice moveable tweeter Cons: None
Infinity Speakers Written By JIWatkins, Mansfield, TX on Sunday, April 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound great. Very nice highs, clear mids, and decent base for a 6x8. They fit perfectly in my 2005 F150. I did have to clip off the extra metal install holes for the front pair but that was very easy. Back pair just fit right in. Only took me about an hour and a half to install both pair. Well worth the price, especially the sale price of buy one pair get one half off. They sound way better than the factory speakers. Be sure to push the button on the tweeter to get a better high range if needed. Pros: Much better than factory sound. Easy install. Good price. Cons: None
Great speakers Written By NicholasH, Lumberton, NC on Saturday, April 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They sound GREAT paired with my pioneer avh-p2400bt HU WAY better than factory have really crisp mids and highs and great bass and don't distort at all in my 2010 fusion planning on running an amp to them soon these speakers are a great compliment to my subwoofers! Pros: Great sound, mids and highs and great bass Cons: None yet

Berry Balance is a natural powder supplement containing cranberry and blueberry extract to help support a healthy functioning urinary tract. It can be very helpful for dogs and cats prone to struvite crystals and bladder infections. This product helps to balance the urinary tract pH and dissolve struvite crystals, which may develop in urine if it is too alkaline.
Cranberries and blueberries contain a substance called hippuric acid, which has been shown in recent studies to have antibacterial activity. This helps prevent bacteria such as E-coli from adhering to the bladder wall.

Give it to our dachshund because he has a liver shunt. He gets crystals in urine and this helps keep them under control. I have nothing negative to say about it.

Great product!
By Kelly
from Spokane, WA
Using it for my lab who has had recurrent uti's. She has been fighting e. Coli bacteria for 4 months. This was recommended by a specialist to help her fight this off. So far, it is working well, along with using probiotics and a new class of antibiotics. I plan on keeping her on the suggested maintenance dose after this month is over.

cat lover
By Cali cat
from Long Island, NY
My 11 yr old cat has always had urinary infections and has had crystals in her urine samples. She has been on many medicines from the vet. I read about this online and have used it for 3 years. I sprinkle it in her prescription wet food twice a day. I mix it up and then add warm water to increase her water intake. It has been a great help preventing UTI.
Solid Gold Berry Balance Supplement
By na/na
from New York
If you have a dog or cat that has urinary crystals (found in urine specimens), this is a wonderful option. Check with your veterinarian, but it has rid both my cats and dog of crystals found in their urine that could otherwise lead to stones forming which would require surgical removal. It is a great preventative product. It is a powder that can be sprinkled on food, or you can obtain empty capsules that you fill and give to your pet.

Get informed
By Julie
from McHenry, Illinois
I count on these reviews to see if I would like to try a product. When you are searching for something to take away your loved ones discomfort or pain it is important to pass along your experience so others can make an informed decision. My 10 yr old tom cat Dashabout was having reoccurring urinary tract infections/crystals. I have been using this product SGBB along with tinkle tonic for over 10 weeks now, also changed from dry to can food. The first two weeks we used recommended amounts and he had some aversion to the way it changed the taste of the food, but that quickly changed when I added a little water to the top of the can food. He really liked the flavored water along with his food. Which is a great thing as he needed to up his intake of water to help flush his system. Hope to work in the budget a drinking fountain for both the dog and cat but for now we keep a pitcher of water in the fridge to give them, they seem to like the cold water better during this very hot summer. We have been on the maintenance dose for 3 weeks. We no longer have a problem and are very pleased! It was the same routine each time I went to the vet. Urine sample confirmed crystals, I was given antibiotics. Which if you do not know it yet, is very hard to administer in pill form to a cat. He would just throw them up and I would find them everywhere. I crushed, then he did not want to eat the can cat food(CD)the vet recommended. So believing in my vet I followed his plan. Due to the fact I could not keep the pills down I usually had to go for a 2nd round. The infection would seem to abate only to reappear in 2 months and so on. Well not only the expense at the vet, your cat will avoid his litter box due to pain association, I decided I better get more information on the situation. I made mistakes too and found blind belief in ones vet is not a good idea. So now after doing a lot of reading and investigating I have found more information on this urinary issue. Along with diet(better can food), supplements, your vet and some great people online we are better informed and will continue to use these products for maintenance so my buddy Dashabout will not have to suffer through this again. I found a ref on this site for a website to help with change over to can food and getting the cat back to the litter box. This site was VERY helpful! Here it is again and if you are researching as many of us did for this subject you will try anything before surgery and for the cost of [$] it turned out to be a very good choice for us! I hope it is for you, if not keep looking! catinfo.org

Phoronix: Ubuntu 11.04 May Default To Classic GNOME Desktop
When Mark Shuttleworth and co announced last year that Ubuntu 11.04 would deploy a Canonical-developed Unity desktop environment instead of the GNOME 3.0 Shell or the classic GNOME2 desktop, many users were concerned by this move with Unity on Ubuntu Netbook not even being in great shape, etc. Concerns over Unity by default in Ubuntu 11.04 have only grown with the Unity interface in Ubuntu 11.04 Beta still being sluggish and broken in areas. Now it looks like Canonical may default Ubuntu 11.04 to using the classic desktop...
chickens I say!
While the progress of Unity has been impressive, it doesn't feel quite ready. I still get the odd exception with Natty b1, and some of the UI needs fine-tuning. I usually revert to the classic desktop even on a netbook. I think it needs another 6 months as the default desktop for all the Ocelot alphas to really bake in. When you think about it, that's nothing - it took nine years for Gnome 3 to be ready.
Why does Ubuntu always have to fix things in time? Haters won't get to whine about how awful it is then :\
Myself, there's still ample time to go to fix things in Unity... I'll be switching it it permanently (trying in beta right now).
You'll see, they won't default to classic Gnome. Unity is not that broken.
They should default to KDE
It would probably be a mistake to delay the Unity desktop to 11.10. What would the changelog be for 11.04; "Gnome now has a global menu and some programs have had a version bump, the end"?.
The Unity developers are still working hard pushing in new features. I submitted a bug report for "Alt-F2 doesn't open apturls" a couple of days ago, and today the Unity Alt-F2 function will now open any kind of URL. If you've noticed a bug or a missing feature, you might still be able to report it and get it fixed before release.
Would be a great opportunity for gnome-shell to generate even more interest on Ubuntu
Also, keep in mind, that the Natty "release" is not the "end all".
Unity can still receive stability and bug-fix updates after Natty is released, just like other software packages.

Yankees look to keep rolling behind Pettitte
After dropping opener, Orioles hand ball to Tillman vs. veteran lefty
With a walk-off win Friday night, the Yankees pushed their winning streak to five. They also broke a five-game losing streak against the Orioles.
It was a big turnaround, since just five days earlier, Baltimore completed a three-game sweep of New York at Camden Yards. The Yankees picked up steam with a four-game sweep of the Twins in Minnesota and will look to keep rolling as they host the Orioles at Yankees Stadium for the second game of the three-game set.
"I've always thought about them as competitive and contending," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of the Yankees.
"Any time you run the pitching out there that they run out there, they're always going to be in it. I think that's a given going into the rest of the season."
That was especially true Friday night, with spot starter Ivan Nova tossing a complete-game gem against Baltimore to pick up the win. The Yankees will now hand the ball to Andy Pettitte, hoping to keep the starting pitching on track.
In the process of trying to win the series, the Yanks will try to snap another Orioles streak. Baltimore starter Chris Tillman is riding a six-game winning streak and hasn't lost since May 19.
Tillman went 6-0 in June and has been a stabilizing force in the Orioles' rotation. He'll try to keep that going Saturday against Pettitte and the Yankees.
With a win Saturday, Tillman could even the series and get closer to Erik Bedard's winning streak of nine consecutive decisions from June 2011 to August '11.
The last Orioles right-hander to win seven in a row? Mike Mussina, from April 11 to June 9, 1997.
Yankees: Jeter scheduled for rehab
• Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. It's a notable step in his journey to return from a fractured left ankle he suffered in the American League Championship Series last season.
If all goes according to plan, Jeter will play five innings at shortstop for the RailRiders. As with all position players, he'll have 20 days to complete his rehab assignment.
Manager Joe Girardi called Jeter's playing in games again a "really good sign." The Yankees will monitor his progress and Girardi said they'll ensure he's ready to play before he's called up.
The shortstop has been working out at the Yankees' Minor League complex in Tampa, Fla., taking simulated at-bats and doing fielding drills. He ran the bases for the first time on Monday.
Orioles: Chen on the mend
• Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (strained oblique) joined the team Friday in New York, and it appears he's ready to rejoin the rotation.
Chen, who last pitched in the Majors on May 12 in Minnesota, threw a second rehab outing for Double-A Bowie on Thursday. He earned the win with seven shutout innings of four-hit baseball.
The Orioles will have a couple decisions to make once Chen is activated, as they'll need to make room for him on the 25-man roster and figure out where he fits in the rotation.
Showalter said the team could move to a six-man rotation for a time when Chen returns or that someone will end up in the bullpen. He indicated that having to make such decisions is a good problem to have.
Worth noting
• Yankees pitcher Hiroki Kuroda (hip flexor) was cleared to begin throwing again Friday. He was originally scheduled to pitch against the Orioles on Friday, but he will not start a game this series.
• Robinson Cano is 10-for-19 off Tillman in his career, including two homers and seven RBIs.
• The two Orioles batters with the most experience against Pettitte are Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis. Roberts is 16-for-62 (.258) in his career and Markakis is 12-for-37 (.324) lifetime off the lefty.

Budget battle: 3 plans on the table, what now?
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 2:00pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- First the Republican-led House approved a federal budget that's heavy on spending cuts. Then the Democratic-controlled Senate approved one that leans more toward tax increases. Then at last, President Barack Obama put out his own budget plan, two months late, coming down someplace in between.
Sounds like progress, right? Check back on that.
The competing proposals are more likely to produce just more budget gridlock.
There are kids in preschool who hadn't been born when Obama and congressional Republicans started arguing over how to make meaty cuts in the federal budget deficit and put the country on a more sustainable fiscal track. And those kids could be well into elementary school with the two sides still in search of a "grand bargain" that cuts government spending in a big way for decades to come.
Still, the president's proposed budget for the year that starts Oct. 1 could provide a framework for talks to find a mix of spending cuts and tax increases that members of Congress feel they can stomach -- and still get re-elected.
If something truly grand is out of reach, might a so-so bargain be doable?
A primer on the latest fiscal skirmishes and the broader dynamics in Washington's long-running budget battle:
2,420 pages.
There's something for everyone to hate in Obama's spending plan -- and some deficit hawks think that's a good sign.
The president's budget is aimed at reducing future deficits by $1.8 trillion over the next decade through a mix of modest spending cuts and $1 trillion in higher taxes. It replaces $1.2 trillion in previously approved across-the-board cuts and includes reductions in the growth of programs that politicians are typically loath to mess with -- programs like Social Security and Medicare.
It's a far cry from the good old days when budgets were feel-good documents larded up with tax cuts and pricey new programs.
Obama's budget does contain a few new initiatives: money to fix highways, bridges and transit systems, financing for high-speed rail projects and preschool for all 4-year-olds among them. The federal tax on cigarettes would nearly double to $1.95 per pack to help pay for the new stuff.
But overall, the focus is on making do with less.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and head of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, says the fact that the president's plan makes so many people squirm is evidence that it's a serious effort to do something tough.
"The nature of fiscally responsible reforms is that they are filled with things that everyone is going to hate," she says. "They're hard."
Ready, aim ...
Reaction to Obama's budget laid bare the same partisan differences that have prevented legislators and the president from reaching a big budget deal all along. Republicans are adamantly against the new tax revenue in the president's proposed budget and say they want to rein in spending on entitlement programs; liberal Democrats are irked that the president's budget would make nicks in Social Security and Medicare and insist that tax increases need to be a bigger part of the mix.
Those differences aren't going anywhere -- and will only become more pronounced as the 2014 elections near.
Even the president doesn't appear to be under any illusion that a large fiscal deal is imminent -- or even within distant reach.
"He did indicate a desire to work with us," said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, one of the 12 Republican senators who had dinner with Obama at the White House on the day he released his budget. "But he also indicated that it's very tough for him because of his side and their particular approach to things. He made it very clear that it's going to be very difficult to bring both sides together, that he has had difficulty doing that."
There's a risk that Obama's attempt at compromise ends up being "a middle path to nowhere," in the words of Tony Fratto, a former Bush Treasury and White House official.
But there is still a chance that Obama's offer -- which keeps intact the contours of his previous "grand bargain" negotiations with House Speaker John Boehner -- could be the basis for summertime talks that actually produce something.
Republican Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, has said it's "the first time in this presidency" that he felt cautiously optimistic about a bipartisan budget deal.
What now?
In theory, the next step is for congressional negotiators to get together and produce a compromise budget that draws on what the House, Senate and president have proposed.
