I put some jl570 TRs in my doors with the built in tweeters. They sound excellent compare to the infinity ref series. It was a disappointment up in the mid and highs. Wish I knew of the kappas when I bought those, cause they kind of ruined me on infinity.

Hello, new user but have searched pretty extensively on this site. I plan to upgrade my Supercrew speakers (from audiophile system with Sony upgrade).
Currently, I have a Sony XAV701HD head unit. Just installed it, and now my sotck speakers no longer suffice. At high volume they just don't have it anymore.
I will not be using an external amp. I have read the great reveiws on the Polk DB571's, yet when I spoke with a representative at Crutchfield, he recommended that I purchase the Infinity Reference X REF-8602cfx instead. He talked me out of purchasing components up front with coaxial's in the rear because he said without an amp they would not be ideal.

So, any experience with the Infinity REF-8602cfx over the Polk db571's? Or am I looking in the wrong direction.
Thanks in advance -

I have Polk MM's on my boat (a sub and 4x 6.5" co-axial and they are fantastic... But for my Lightning, I found Focal to be super-clean, crisp and the dynamic range is out of this world. I'm a huge Polk fan though, so I was surprised that the Focal's caugh my ey...er, EAR
