New Product Alert! Infinity Kappa Speakers

Infinity Kappa, Car Speakers

I just got the scoop from Infinity on the new Kappa speakers. Cosmetically these look a lot nicer than last year's models. I also noticed Infinity has gone back to 4-ohm voice coils this year (Kappas were all 2-ohm last year). They've upgraded the tweeter to an edge-driven UHF tweeter that plays all the way to 35KHz on some speakers. I was pretty impressed with the previous generation of Kappa speakers, so I'm looking forward to hearing these in person. There aren't many other brands that can touch the clarity of Kappa speakers at this price point ($119.95 - $249.95). We've got a TON of pics after the jump, as well as a full press release with details on all the speakers.

**Correction** Kappas are still 2-ohm. Infinity uses "marketing speak" and states the speakers are "True Four-Ohm" when the drivers are actually two ohm. I think this has to do with the the measured resistance of the wire by the time it reaches the radio (i.e. it measures four ohm at the radio when connected to a two ohm speaker due to the natural resistance of the speaker wire). But I could be wrong. I'm waiting for an explanation from Infinity.

**Update** Infinity has updated their site to better explain the marketing lingo.
