Peter, I like the Kappa 6x9 3-ways, but I'm concerned that my stock NG900s head unit might not have enough power to run these (90db sensitivity), compared to, say, Infinity Reference 6x9 2-ways at 92db sensitivity. Of course, the Kappas have the external crossover, and the References don't, so that may make the 'sensitivity' differences moot; don't know.
I'm currently running some highly efficient Pioneers (3 ways) in the rear that definitely sounded better than stock, but now that I've upgraded the fronts to 3.5 Kappas (32.5), the rears don't sound so hot anymore!!!
Since I don't have a 9-5, I don't know much about the stereo system or it's head unit power.
I don't want to run this into the ground (if I haven't already!), I just want a nice sounding, reasonably efficient rear speaker to complement the Kappas in front, and that won't tax the head unit. I know the Japanese brand speakers typically have higher efficiencies (92, 93db), but if the head unit will tolerate 90db rears and fronts with no loss in power, why not go with the Infinity's? Oh well!
