Infinity References
I'm going to get some new speakers for Christmas. I was thinking about getting these. Has anybody had these before? Do they have good sound? How hard would the installation be? I would appreciate some feedback.

As an owner of Infinity speakers in my car and my house, all i can say is that they are very high quality for a reasonable price.
There is not much bass from the 5 1/4'* as it is impossible for such a small speaker to put out bass and there is no getting around that unless it is made super deep so it can push more air but it would so inefficient and would need a huge magnet making it very unfeasable in a stock automotive application.
But anyways, i can say those speakers with a pair of Infinity 6x9'* and good clean power, you will have very rich sound with impressive bass. I dont run my subs sometimes and people still ask me what kind of subs are in my car! haha they seem shocked when i tell them it is just my 6x9'*

Also if you have the time, and want very good vocal and high imaging, mount the tweeters flush in the plastic part of the dash closest to the windsheild, not the dash itself.
I did that, and it sounds Infinitaly clear and the sound reproduction is very crisp and clear. Stereo Imagining is great too
They come with a mounting kit to externally mount, or flush mount them. You can mount them and still adjust them after to get that sweet spot.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy 'em from Crutchfield. You can save close to $50 by purchasing them on E-bay, or going to some of the other car audio stores and websites.
I had the older version of those speakers (Infinity Reference 505CS'*), and I loved them. Once I get back into the Car audio scene I will no doubt go with Infinity again unless I can afford some really high-end equipment.

Agreed, I wasn't going to buy them from Crutchfield. They are too expensive. Were do I put that crossover? I still don't know about that tweeter placement too. Custom88, did you have to cut a whole for the tweeters? This is my first time doing some car speakers so I'm rather noobish about all of this.
