When looking for a Los Angeles hotel, convenience is key. If you plan on spending most of your visit in Hollywood, you don't want to stay at a hotel near Los Angeles airport. Thanks to infamous L.A. traffic, it could take well over 45 minutes by car just to get to the area you wish to explore. In other words, pick a neighborhood in L.A. you are targeting for your trip based on your interest and budget, and then look for nearby L.A. hotels.
As you might expect, you will find luxury hotels in Beverly Hills and downtown, if you wish to be lodging like the rich and famous. In Hollywood and West Hollywood you'll find more diverse options ranging from economy motels to boutique hotels to five-star hotels in Los Angeles. If it's the beach you're after, you'll find some of that same diversity in Malibu, Santa Monica, and Venice. Here you find anything from waterfront hotels to budget motels within walking distance or a short cab ride to the beach. If you stay at a Los Angeles hotel or resort that is further inland, such as in the valley, note that getting from one side of Los Angeles to another takes much longer in a car than many U.S. cities because of traffic and how sprawling the city is.
Getting Here
Travelers going to the City of Angels can find cheap flights to Los Angeles here on Expedia.com. Most flights fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is located west of downtown Los Angeles near the beach and within 10 miles of most major points of interest. However, there are also nearby airports including Ontario International Airport, which is east of Los Angeles, and John Wayne Airport, which is south of L.A. in the northern part of Orange County. No matter which airport you're flying in and out of, there are shuttles and taxis serving all these airports 24-7, that can take you to your hotel in Los Angeles
L.A.'s location in Southern California also makes it convenient to access it from major cities by car, including Las Vegas, Anaheim, Palm Springs, and San Diego. Cities like San Francisco, Sacramento, Napa, and Sonoma are a little further out, but can still get you to L.A. in a few additional hours. Los Angeles travelers who prefer the scenic route and don't mind slow travel, can take advantage of the nearby train and bus stations allowing for relaxed travels between Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, San Francisco, and beyond. Cruises from Los Angeles run year-round.
Getting Around
Because Los Angeles is so spread out, it isn't as accessible by foot, unless you plan on spending most of your time in one location, such as Hollywood or downtown Los Angeles. Contrary to popular belief, the city has an extensive public transportation system which includes buses, light rail, and subway. The metro has lines that serve the Fernando Valley, Culver City, downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, Pasadena, and East Los Angeles. The metro bus system has nearly 200 different bus lines.
For those travelers who want a little more flexibility, consider booking an affordable car rental in Los Angeles. Los Angeles hotels offer parking, many of which are free of charge and take the hassle out of getting around. When parking around Los Angeles, be sure to watch the street signs, as some neighborhoods only allow parking for residents with permits.Also watch for parking areas getting closed off during certain hours for street cleaning. If, however, you'll be using a taxi, call the front desk of your Los Angeles hotel and they'll call a cab for you.
Things to Do
With the grandiose Hollywood sign staring down at you no matter where you are in L.A., it's really hard to visit Los Angeles and not to visit Hollywood. As crowded as it may get, especially on the weekends, a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard is a must-do. Convenient to many Los Angeles hotels, Hollywood Boulevard is home to many of the city's most iconic attractions, including Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Dolby Theatre, and views of the Hollywood sign always leaving you with things to do in L.A.. If you're lucky, you may even get to see one of your favorite celebs, or at least maybe a celeb look-alike.
For a can't-miss beachfront activity, head west to the Santa Monica Pier. The 100-year-old landmark is a California icon, offering something for every type of traveler, from adults want to try their hand at fishing at the end of the pier to kids who want to ride the ferris wheel to couples who want to see one of the legendary sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney, the Third Street Promenade, and many other popular attractions are also nearby.
To see where the magic happens in Hollywood, you'll have to go behind the scenes on a studio tour. Choose from places such as Paramount, Warner Bros., Universal, or Sony. Most tours will pick you up from your hotel in Los Angeles. Other Hollywood-esque tours take you on a tour of your favorite celebs' homes or to prominent filming locations.
For a break from all things Hollywood, head to the hills to Griffith Park Observatory in Griffith Park, which features a planetarium, numerous exhibits (including a Tesla Coil), and beautiful views of Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean.
While there is plenty of shopping in Hollywood, some of the best can be found at The Grove and Farmer's Market, an outdoor marketplace home to restaurants, shops, bars, and a movie theater.
Culture and museum lovers should make it a point to visit the Getty Center. Located in West Los Angeles, it features beautiful architecture, gardens, and stunning views of Los Angeles. The museum is home to an impressive collection of artwork that includes the work of Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. Visit later in the day and you'll likely be treated to a beautiful sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
While the La Brea Tar Pits points to a history that dates back thousands of years, urban Los Angeles dates back to the mid-1800s. While L.A.'s population in the early 1840s was no more than a couple hundred people, the discovery of gold started to put Los Angeles on the map in 1842. However, it wasn't until a few years later, in 1848, that Mexico ceded California to the U.S., near the height of the Gold Rush. It was in the late-1800s that travel to L.A. was made more convenient, with the first rail links, trolley line, and streetcar.
By the early to mid-1900s, Los Angeles was a boom town, considered an industrial and financial powerhouse. This was aided in large part to the film industry. By 1920, 80% of the world's films were being shot in California. The next decade saw Los Angeles' population top one million and the opening of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which has grown to be the world's busiest airport in point-to-point passenger traffic and fifth busiest overall. With the continued growth of Hollywood, beautiful weather year-round, and plethora of beautiful beaches, Los Angeles will only continue to grow and attract travelers from around the world.
Arts & Entertainment
Los Angeles is something of a Mecca of the arts and entertainment, delivering entertainment to theater screens and people's televisions for decades. Beyond television and movies, L.A. has a thriving music scene, including some of the most notable music venues in the U.S., the Greek Theatre, a 5,870-seat outdoor theatre at Griffith Park, and the Hollywood Bowl, a 17,376-seat amphitheater in Hollywood, both of which feature some of the world's best musicians. If you prefer stage shows, then you'll find Broadway shows taking the stage at venues like Pantages Theater, a renowned art deco theater that dates back to 1930.
L.A. has plenty to choose from for the art and museum lover. A number of galleries and museums, many of which are convenient to L.A. hotels are located on Museum Row on the Miracle Mile, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (the largest art museum in the Western U.S. with over 1,000 works), Craft and Folk Art Museum, and the Architecture and Design Museum. Other notable museums include the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Getty Center.
There are few U.S. cities that compare to Los Angeles, with each of the major sports being represented, with the exception of the NFL. L.A. has long had pride in their Dodgers, formerly of Brooklyn, but calling the City of Angels home since 1958. Convenient to Hollywood and downtown L.A. hotels, Dodger Stadium is the third oldest MLB stadium, after Boston's Fenway Park and Chicago's Wrigley Field. After the Dodgers came to town, NBA's Lakers soon followed, becoming one of the most successful teams, holding numerous NBA records.
Unique to Los Angeles is that it is home to two NBA teams. The Los Angeles Clippers have called L.A. home since 1984. While they haven't had the same success as the Lakers, you saw them win their first division championship in 2013. We'd be remiss, however, not to also mention the city's other championship professional sports teams, NHL's Los Angeles Kings and the L.A. Galaxy of the MLS. Both have won the respective titles of their leagues. The Kings, Lakers, and Clippers can all be seen at the Staples Center, which is walkable from many downtown Los Angeles hotels.
What's great about Los Angeles nightlife: if there is an experience you want to have, then you can have it. Dive bar, check. Speakeasy, check. Burlesque show, check. Comedy club, check. Swanky lounge at a Los Angeles hotel, check. You'll find a bit of everything in Los Angeles, with many of the popular neighborhoods, like Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and downtown Los Angeles, having just about every type of nightlife you can think of, ranging from dance clubs to dive bars to cocktail lounges and more.
While nearby San Diego has made a name for itself because of its craft brews, you can see a rise in craft beer establishing a presence in Los Angeles, too. Visit brewpubs to sample local beers at the birthplace all around Los Angeles. The craft cocktail lover will find a slew of options in downtown Los Angeles, from speakeasies to whiskey-only bars. West Hollywood caters to every taste, from the Surly Goat, featuring a long, ever-changing menu of craft beers, to The Hudson, part craft cocktail bar and part eatery.
With thousands of restaurants in Los Angeles, there's no reason for you to go hungry. If there's a cuisine you all of a sudden get a hankering for, you'll find it in L.A., be it Mexican, Korean, Thai, Italian, and much more. With its proximity to Mexico, it shouldn't come as a surprise that L.A. is home to great Mexican, be it street tacos or a California burrito. Taco stands and food trucks can be found throughout out the city, if you want something on the go, although there are plenty of sit-down restaurants to choose from as well.
Unique to Los Angeles are the different international neighborhoods, where you can find plenty of exceptional food from a region that you can't just find in any U.S. metro. This includes Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Toyko, and Thai Town, just to name a few. Travelers to Los Angeles can find many celebrity chef restaurants, including several by Wolfgang Puck, and The Bazaar, located at the SLS Los Angeles hotel. If you're having trouble deciding on a single cuisine, relay on a plethora of buffet restaurants located around Los Angeles to decide for you.
Shopping Guide
Treating yourself to shopping is the icing on the cake of a Los Angeles vacation package. As you might expect, Los Angeles offers every shopping experience you could ever want, from outlet shopping at the Citadel Outlets (which actually looks like a Citadel) to high-end boutique shops in Beverly Hills to upscale complexes like the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica to independent retailers on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice.
For the jet-setting traveler, it's hard to find a more iconic shopping experience than the palm-lined streets of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Here you'll find more than 100 shops, such as Gucci, Brooks Brothers, Celine, and Guess, to name a few. There are several multi-faceted complexes in Los Angeles, such as the Third Street Promenade and The Grove, which feature everything from upscale shops like Barneys New York, to movie theaters and multiple restaurants. There are also more traditional types of shopping centers, such as Westfield Century City Mall and Beverly Center, both of which are home to about 150 stores. Best of all, most of these shopping areas are convenient to hotels in Los Angeles.
Personalities & Culture
One of the many unique things is that because Los Angeles is so spread out, it features so many different personalities. While it's made a name for itself because of Hollywood, you can really be anyone and anything you want to be. While Beverly Hills and Hollywood can be more chic, you'll find many downtown Los Angeles locales to be more cozy, while the beach cities are more laid-back. Consider your personality and style when choosing what parts of Los Angeles you'll be staying in.
Los Angeles has long had a reputation as a city where renting a car is necessary for getting around since it's so spread out. However, getting around Los Angeles by car also means you'll have to plan around traffic and parking. Contrary to popular belief, Los Angeles is one of the most walkable cities in the U.S., ranked #13 by Walk Score in 2013. Visitors who intend on spending most of their time between downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood and West Hollywood, may consider using the Los Angeles Metro rail system, which serves multiple Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Pet Friendly Travel Basics
Thinking of bringing Fido along on your trip? You're in the right city for it. Los Angeles is a very pet friendly city, especially since many of the large pet friendly outdoor areas, such as Runyon Canyon and Griffith Park, are within walking distance of multiple Los Angeles hotels. Many hotels are accommodating to pets, though before bringing your pet, check your hotel's pet fees and restrictions, since most pet friendly hotels in Los Angeles don't accept pets over 50 lbs. Many restaurants in town are also accepting of your four-legged companion. With comfortable weather year-round, it's never a bad time to sit on a restaurant patio with your canine.
There are few U.S. cities that you'll find the weather as agreeable as it is in L.A. Cold weather and rain showers are few and far between. However, you'll still want to pack a light jacket, especially if you're by the beach come sunset or late at night. The winter months can get cooler, so you'll want to make sure that you pack more than just shorts and flip flops. Make sure to have at least a pair of jeans and closed-toed shoes for when those rare cooler days strike.

Well nothing to do with Mt Wash but defintley a rock pile....
The trail was lost palm oasis trail 3.4 miles each way with minimal < 1000' elevation
but we added on an extra mile or so side trip on the way back to climb up this peak
which was called Masterdon Peak maybe 5000'
Now here is a nice view of the actual palm oasis
and here is me walking in the bottom of the canyon
and my exit route
Then a lake?? way of in the distance from the trail on the way out
finally a nice little sunset after descending that side peak to end the day
I'll try to post some more pics from Mt. Whitney and/or Yosemite when I head over that way.....
BTW I hope you all are enjoying the blooming alpine garden flowers in up there in beautiful New Hampshire! I'm already looking forward to my annual December time up there and l'lll be seeing you all out on the trail once that ice starts to form again

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Infinity Kappa 682.11cf by John Pollard 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. Legendary sound Infinity's Kappa Series 682.11i 5"x7"/6"x8" speakers continue in the tradition of this legendary line of speakers, offering rugged construction and impressive sound quality. Once installed, these speakes will bring out every nuance and detail in your favorite music tracks, making time spent in your car seem more like a concert than a commute. Large soft dome tweeters If you're looking for natural-sounding high frequencies, Infinity uses edge-driven 1" soft dome tweeters in this system. The "edge-driven" design creates a larger tweeter that handles more power and delivers smooth response way down into midrange frequencies not covered by smaller "W"-shaped domes. You'll hear a more clearly defined soundstage where you can picture the placement of every instrument. Infinity's UniPivot design allows you to aim each tweeter toward your ears, so you enjoy excellent stereo imaging even if the speakers are mounted way down low in your doors. Each tweeter also features a level control switch so you can boost the brightness to your taste. Glass fiber woofer with Plus One+ technology If you like bass, the Kappa glass fiber woofer holds its shape when the power's cranked up, so you still get punchy and defined bass. Glass fiber weighs less than traditional materials, so you don't need a ton of power to drive this woofer. Infinity's Plus One+ woofer technology extends the cone right up to the edge of the basket, giving you more surface area than with most comparable speakers. A bigger cone means more bass to complement the superior high-frequency response. Great for any system These 2-ohm speakers are sensitive enough that you can power them with an aftermarket stereo, but you'll get your best results feeding them plenty of power from an outboard amp — up to 100 watts RMS. Grilles are not included — factory grilles are appropriate for most installations.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Plus One Woofer Cones: The Plus One speaker cones offer more surface area than other speakers that fit in the same size opening. This is accomplished by using a new basket design and hi-roll surround. The result is greater bass output and a significant increase in efficiency. Formed Glass Fiber Woofer Cones: This formed glass fiber material is very light and extremely stiff, minimizing cone flex. This results in very low distortion and improved clarity. iCGM frames: The Kappa series speaker baskets are made of composite Injected Carbon Glass Matrix (iCGM). iCGM is lighter and stronger than stamped steel; it retains its shape, even when mounted on uneven surfaces (common in car mounting locations), plus offers exceptional damping of any resonances. Edge Driven Dome Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1" Edge-driven textile soft dome tweeter. An edge-driven tweeter has better dispersion characteristics and allows for a lower crossover frequency than typical tweeters of the same size, which improves imaging. The result is improved vocals and musical clarity. The tweeter also has an adjustable output level, +0 dB (flat) and +3 dB. UniPivot Tweeter: The tweeter is angled and can be rotated about 315° after installation. This allows you to direct the tweeters toward the listeners, very useful for speakers mounted low in a door. High-Output Design: The high output 2-ohm voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring and extracts every watt from factory receivers, increasing overall system output and efficiency (relative to 4 ohm speakers). The speaker's 2.0-ohm impedance combined with the impedance of your speaker wire provides a true 4-ohm load to your connected headunit or amplifier. The speakers also benefit from increased power when you upgrade the wire and add aftermarket amplifiers, designed to power a 2-ohm load. Size: These speakers fit many 5x7 and 6x8 applications. Terminals: The input terminals are gold-plated set screws that will accept up to 12 gauge bare wire. Power Handling: Although Infinity lists the RMS power handling as 100 watts, they also list the recommended power range as 5-150 watts RMS. We've opted to list the more conservative 100 watt RMS figure on the specifications page. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Cooper Advisor, Extremely accurate and efficient! Written by Cooper, Advisor, on 2/18/2014 11:39:00 AM I helped my best friend, a fellow advisor named Eli, install a pair of Infinity Kappas into his F-150. I was extremely impressed with the tight bass response along with the crystal clear mids and highs these were able to produce. We used a Sound Ordnance M-4075 to power these as they do need more power than what a head-unit can produce. We tested bluegrass, rap, country, and rock music tracks once they were installed, and these speakers delivered amazing dynamics. After hearing them, I think these speakers are the best for your money, no doubt about it.

Big improvement over stock F150 speakers. Easy install with included adapter cables. Pros: Sound great Cons: probably could use an amp to really make them sing Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Speakers f-150 platinum Written By Dbt, Defiance ohio on Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awsome speakers, i have the sony system and they blow them away. Pros: They rock. Well worth the $. Easy to put in Cons: None. Abstly none. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Former Infinity lover Written By LoverofgreatQA, Fort Wayne, IN on Tuesday, July 08, 2014 I dunno, maybe it boils down to personal preference, but these speakers in my mind fall way short of Infinity's older line of speakers. I had 4 (5x7's) of Infinity's old titanium dome tweeter aluminum woofer design speakers, and they produced way better mids and highs than these do. These speakers to me, sound like factory no tweet speakers just amplified. There is no crispness to the highs, at all. You might as well not have any tweeters. Like I said, it might boil down to personal preference, but soft tweeters do not sound good to me, especially when you pair with a good pair of sub-woofers and amp. You need some good quality highs that are loud and crisp to balance some good bass. I have two of Infinity's top of the line subs that I am now trying to find a replacement for, because their subs stink now as well. They sounded good for 6 months, but now they are blown and sound like crap. Sad to say, Infinity's older aluminum coned subs were way better too. I had them for 6 years and they always sounded the same, awesome! Their subs are crap now too. I loved my Kenwood deck, with my Infinity speakers, and subs, but they redesigned and went totally downhill. I still have my old pair of Infinity 5x7's in my front doors because they sounded too good to get rid of. Now I thought about replacing them, but no one even makes a speaker as good with a titanium tweeter. This is a huge step back if you ask me, come on get it together car audio manufacturers! Pros: Fit great, look great Cons: Lackluster sound, no brightness to the highs. Good quality bass will drown these things out. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 crystal clear Written By buckman, frankfort,il on Monday, July 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) beautiful sound Pros: loud as heck Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 The difference is night and day Written By John, Tomball, Tx on Thursday, July 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in my 2009 Ford F -150 Supercab, both front and back doors. Over the past few months I have researched many different speakers and had asked a lot of questions of the advisors at Crutchfield. I finally decided on these speakers when they went on sale, but after I installed them, I would have paid twice the price. Eventually I intend to upgrade the entire system, having talked with an advisor I started with the speakers, I can't believe the difference in quality of sound that this one upgrade has made. From rich bass to astonishingly clear high range all without flattening out as the volume increases, these speakers deliver, I cannot say enough good things about them. Along with their wide range of knowledge about all things high fidelity, Crutchfield's installation guide made the job of swapping the factory speakers for the upgrades so easy, it took me less than two hours. Between Infinity's top quality products and Crutchfield's knowledgeable and friendly staff, there is no reason why you have to suffer with inferior car audio. I can't wait to get the rest of the system upgraded. Pros: Awesome sound, easy installation, very reasonable price, awesome sound.

I replace the two in the door and the two in the rear deck. Much better highs and lows than stock. Pros: They do fit in the front door but you have to cut out the plastic alignments tabs for the stock speakers. I used a dremel and cut them out in less than a minute. All the screw holes lined up as well. Cons: none for me Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent sound for stock radio Written By CmikeC99, Ohio on Friday, June 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in a 2012 F-150. They were direct fit replacements for stock. I used the treble boost and replaced all four doors at the same time. I really like the sync hands free calling so I elected not to replace my HU. I think the sound is really good for not using amplifiers or any other signal processing. I do plan to replace the tweeters in the "a-pillars" in the future and I think this will help as well. Be sure to purchase banana connectors for the screw in terminals as the OEM adapters sent by Crutchfield are spade connectors. I just cut them off and added the banana connectors. For as simple a process as this was, I think the sound improvement for the money is well spent! Pros: Sound quality, treble enhancement, direct fit Cons: Screw in connectors, not spades Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Love them, great sound!

Running 50-70watts to them off a new Alpine f300 and a Kenwood double din with Xm. I tried the Polk dbs, the Kenwood Excelon and the Jl audio but it wasn't until I found the Kappas was I able to seamlessly meet the alpine Type R 12" sub I had in the back. The Kappas go low enough and really kick so that it feels like I have all my bass in front of me. And the swivel tweeter allowed me to play with different positions until I finally got my soundstage up on top the dash instead of sounding like it was coming from the sides like the other speakers. They really are a quality product with a lot of versatility and great sound. I liken them to a set of $400 Boston Acoustic components I used to have. But those needed 300 watts and the infinitys only need 75. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I installed them in my 2013 f 150 super crew. The speakers sound great with the sync radio. ...Good Sounds !! Pros: Fit perfectly in factory cut outs.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Infinity Kappa 5x7s Written By Raptor Nine, Fort Collins, CO on Wednesday, April 02, 2014 Excellent speakers. I have these installed in an '03 Ford Ranger Super Cab and they rock! I listen to all genres of music and am pleased to say these are the best speakers I've owned. The highs are very clear and do not muddy until volume is well beyond a safe volume. The mids are well delivered for not being externally amplified. I only have a KDC-BT955HD head unit powering them. The lows leave something to be desired as with all unamplified speakers. I have them rounded out with an 8" JL Audio W3V3 subwoofer in a factory sealed box powered by an Alpine MRP-500 and the combination is perfect. Very highly recommended. Pros: Clear highs, powerful mids, excellent sound without an amplifier. Cons: My only con is the absent lows which could be fixed if I amplified the speakers. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Infinity good sound without amp Written By Jeff r 2011 ford fx4 f-150 super crew, Wilmington, DE on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers are very nice out of the box. It's kind of confusing with the adapter plates on the speakers, your not sure if they stay on or take them off because os the thickness of the originals. I chose to take them off. I did have to go out and buy a 5.5 mm socket for the speaker removal and install. I bought two sets for the front and back. Had to send one set back due to one speaker stopped working. Crutchfield is sending me another set. After the install of the front, wow what a difference between the front and the rear. Can't wait to install the rears when they come in. I am thinking of adding an amp if all goes well to boost the speakers as they should be heard. Be careful tightening the screws for the speaker wires. You have to cut the adapters that they provide to use on these speakers.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 WOW these Kappas ROCK!!! Written By JetSetJoe, Brighton, MI on Monday, November 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound from the factory stereo system in my 2012 Ford Expedition EL was pathetic. So I spoke with Cooper at Crutchfield and I told him, "let's do the speakers first". He expressed some concerns about going with the 2 ohm Kappa speakers without an amplifier, but I assured him I would be adding an amp in a few months, and that it would be OK for a while. So I had the Kappa speakers installed, and I was very unhappy with the new sound. So 24 hours later, I installed an Alpine MRP-F450 amplifier that I bought from Crutchfield a few years ago. At 100W RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms, it was a PERFECT spec match for the 100W RMS 2 ohm Kappa speakers. Now it was time for a new sound check...and WOW!!!! I could not believe it was the same Kappa speakers. At both low and high volumes, the sound is so perfectly clear. And when you turn it up, oh boy. Real loud! I will be calling Cooper in a few months to order a double-din headunit that will retain my Ford Sync functions. Or heck maybe I will do it tomorrow! Pros: They sound magnificent. Cons: Absolutely must have an amplifier. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Don't try this at home Written By Redneck Bob, The South on Sunday, November 03, 2013 I put these in my F350 and they sounded decent amped, then I completely dynamatted both doors and they sounded really good. The only thing missing was a nice, high sound stage and good imaging. The speakers in my truck are about knee height so it's tough to bring the sound up. I was gonna upgrade to a component set of these, but those run about $300! I decided to try something stupid and cheap instead. I pulled the stickers off the back of these, cut the little tweeter wire, pulled the tweeter off, and wired it back up with an extra 4 feet to play with. The tweeter wire was through a hole in the center of the speaker and the tweeter was just glued on, so it was a pretty simple job. I put the tweeters on my dash at the bottom corners of my windshield. I honestly thought it would sound terrible without a proper crossover, but it had the same good quality as before.The tweets were a little loud (closer to my head) so I just pushed the little -3dB button and they fell right in line. After testing some locations and angles, I now have a broad sound stage across my dash with the same great Infinity sound quality as always. You would be lucky to find a set of components that sound this good for less than $250. I say these are excellent speakers for the money. I am amazed that they sound so good even after what I did to them. Pros: Sound quality is very good for the price, they separate the instruments well, don't have harshness, can be turned into "components" by a redneck and sound even better, don't cause listening fatigue Cons: The voice range mid can get a bit peaky as is common for 5x7 , they need dynamat to stop resonance in some vehicles, can't be bridged on most 4 channel amps because of the 2 ohm impedence 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Upgrade Written By MattJ, Ashland, KY on Saturday, October 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I own a 2012 F=150 Super Crew, Replaced all 4 factory what they call speakers with these Infiniti's. AWESOME!! The sound is so much more crisp and clear, the low end isn't the greatest, but for a 6x8 you can't expect the world to change, but it's still a great upgrade. Also, when I received my speakers, one of the tweeters were broken, I called Crutchfield, they are wonderfully great! Within 5 minutes they had a replacement on it's way and completely hassle free. Thanks Crutchfield!! Pros: Great, period Cons: Nadda 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Long term test Written By Rex, Arkansas on Thursday, October 24, 2013 This is a long term review of these speakers from 4 years ago. They still had the glass woofer material and 2 ohm impedance but the tweeter was a metal dome instead of textile. I recently replaced the 10 year old infinity kappas with these 4 year old ones in my 2000 F350 with an amp. They still sound as good as when I bought them. They are so powerful that I had to dynamat all inside my doors because my door panel was bouncing on drum kicks. I added a sub and turned my high pass filter on these all the way up (120Hz), but they still put out a lot of bass. I got to listen to this new model and the new tweeter balances them out better, the sound is more natural and smooth. Infinity is great about giving you a good quality sound, like a home theater system. It sounds like my BMW stereo did except it's in a loud old farm truck, and I'm only running 3 speakers versus 11 in the BMW... Pros: Tough, sound ok with no amp, awesome with an amp, powerful enough to run without a sub and be decent Cons: Need dynamat if your car hasn't got good sound dampening 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I have a 2011 F-150 with Sync and wasnt sure whether to replace the speakers and add an amp later, or go with a helix or other system to optimize the sound from the stock system. I chose to start with these speakers, and it didn't disappoint. The muddy sound is gone, replaced by crisp smooth sound across the range! Next step: amp. But for now I am very about investing in these speakers. Pros: Excellent sound across the audio spectrum, suprisingly good even in the bass range. Highly recommended. Cons: None really. The speakers live up to my expectations. Instructions could be better for putting in the foam at the backside of the speaker, but thats not a big deal at all to me. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By onenotforgotten, Springfield, MO on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these 6x8's in the front door of my 2013 Mustang GT. First off, they are a drastic improvement over the factory speakers (which sound as if the music is coming from inside a cardboard box). The highs are crisp and clear and the sound from the tweeters is made even better with the ability to swivel the tweeter head for improved imaging. The mid-range is also very clear. The speakers provide great sound at any volume with a variety of music genres. I can not speak to the bass level of these speakers as the factory Shaker 500 system splits the bass notes to the subwoofers mounted in the front doors. To Crutchfield's credit they did not provide fitment recommendations in the front door of the 2013 Mustang, and once I took the door panel off I could see why. However with a drill and a small drill bit I was still able to mount these speakers securely using the three factory mounting screws. Pros: Amazing highs with great clarity. Well built. Swiveling tweeter for better imaging. Tweeter strength adjustability using the button on the front of the tweeter. Cons: None. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Speakers Written By Myles, Denver, PA on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've always been a fan of Infinity, but this is the first of their Kappa line that I've purchased. I normally use their "reference" line of speakers. These are definitely a step up from the reference series, and also a step up from most other speakers on the market. The clarity of these particular speakers challenges even Focal speakers in my opinion. Also, they go low enough to present the bass in any music, though not to the point of thumping dubstep. The imagining is really awesome on these things, especially with well-recorded tracks. Listening to a good recording of almost any Jazz piece really shows the detail in your music. The only thing I've noticed that I don't like is it sounds like the bass is emanating from the floor with these. It is probably just my car though... but it's still worth mentioning. While listening to a Miles Davis piece, the trumpets and sax were extremely clear, and the imagining was absolutely awesome. However, the lower jazz bass had less clear imaging, and sounded to be coming from beneath me. Despite that, it was still very clear on the bass, it just was harder to place in the sound stage. Like I said, this is probably because of my car and how the sound resonates inside of it. Other than that (Very very minor tidbit) these things are outstanding. Pros: Awesome imaging, extremely clean and clear sound. Very detailed. They go low... 40hz is a reasonable rating. And they stay clean in the basses. Cons: Some bass instruments have 'bleh' and average imaging... possibly do to the resonance of my car. 26 out of 28 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

[ Krissy Staff Aug 06, 2014 ] I talked with a tech a couple of months ago about upgrading my entire system, gave him certain parameters such as clean, crisp sound, no distortion, can handle Bach to Van Halen. What he suggested as far as speakers go were Focal ISS 570 and Focal ISC 570. I realize that the ISS570,s come with separate tweeters, despite that difference, how does this model Infinity stack up to the Focals. Better Bass? Better High range? Thanks for your help! [ John Jun 03, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/CompareTo.aspx?compareItems=01|091ISC570&compareItems=01|10868211CF&compareItems=01|091ISS570&g=51900 From the specs you can see that the Infinity's have a lower bass response, for a more defined and clean bass response. The infinity's also have a 2ohm impedance which will cause the amp to push a little harder to them. In most cases that will result in a louder/cleaner sound at just about any volume. These would be a very competitive set of speakers to the Focal's, and possibly even a better selection.

[ tai min May 24, 2014 ] 1 answer The high output 2-ohm voice coil design compensates for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring and extracts every watt from factory receivers, increasing overall system output and efficiency (relative to 4 ohm speakers). The speaker's 2.0-ohm impedance combined with the impedance of your speaker wire provides a true 4-ohm load to your connected headunit or amplifier. The speakers also benefit from increased power when you upgrade the wire and add aftermarket amplifiers, designed to power a 2-ohm load.
