I got the kappa component speakers, I used Dynomat in the car with them and it made them sound much better. Or do you think I should get something else for speakers.

Big Blue, do yourself a favor and don't get Infinity speakers. You are investing a lot into sound dampening which is a great idea, now get some high powered components in there to make it worth the effort.
i had the jl 13tw5 in a sealed box in my truck for a month and it didnt rattle anything

but my Fi makes my truck sound like its gonna fall apart

So you have one of the W5 subs? What do you think of it? It is what I am strongly wanting to get.

if you like the kappas then go for it. msall has been around the block alot longer than most of us and is very picky when it comes to speakers

The 13tw5 has only 9mm one way linear, not moving a whole ton of air for its size. Good sounding sub? yes. Gonna get stoopid loud? no.

And yes if you like the Kappas then keep them, everyone has their own personal preference for how they want their sound. Infinitys are just too harsh for my taste, but others love them.

BTW 4x4autiger I might be 4 years older than you...tops.

What speakers would you recomend mSaLL150

I just thought about something what if I got just the regular kappa speakers for the rear then got like a nice set of focal's for the front. Would that be a good idea so then I would be going for great SQ
