So my drive side rear door speaker has been busted since i bought the 4runner. Today I decided to take the door pannel off and check it out. Much to my suprise I found Infinity 52.1i kappa series 5 1/4 speakers.




After finding these, I checked the front and also found Infinity speakers. The front was refrence series 6 1/4 componet set.


So now I am trying to decide between some diffrent options to replace the rear.

• Infinity 52.9i kappa series
• Alpine Type S SPS-500
• Kicker KS5250

If anybody has any input, it would be much appreciated!

 

get the kappa series, ive always liked them and found great results.

 

I recommend Polk DB521.

Did your rear doors already have adapters to fit 5 1/4" speakers?

 

Yeah it did and had adapters for the front so 6 1/4 would fit.

Wyo, thats what I was thinking also, but it will depend on the price.

Rocket, the polk speakers look great, I was considering them also, now I will have to through them back in the mix. But thanks for the info.

 

price is always a bit tough but worth it

whats the cheapest you have found them?

 

75 on ebay, I am going to check a local store that normally has great prices tomorrow.

 

i found em for 89 and didnt even really look

 

Just fyi...Polk hasn't changed the DB series in 5~ years because they are that awesome of a speaker, especially for the money. The only thing they've changed is the model number, making them appear as a "newer" speaker for 2009.

The DB521 speakers used to called DB525 which a few members including myself have.

Well the store dident have the kappa's or the db's, and the kappa's were 99 and db's 89.

Neways I bought the kappas off of ebay.

I will take a few pic on the install seeing how the hook-ups on the 52.9's are different than the 52.1's.

 

well congrats.
