Infinity Kappa Subwoofers with SSI (Selectable Smart Impedance) 120.9W & 100.9W

Get yours!: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/search.php?keyword=Infinity+%22SSI+Kappa%22&am...

Brand new from Infinity are the SSI Kappa Series subwoofers, the 120.9W & 100.9W. Both subs look incredible with the gold glass-fiber cone with chrome decals. Infinity uses SSI (Selectable Smart Impedance) technology to let the user choose whether they want the subwoofer to act as a 2-ohm sub or a 4-ohm sub. It also uses a strong cast aluminum basket around the subwoofer. These are the next generation of Infinity Kappa subwoofers.

im going to be running 2 of these subs off of a kappa one 800 watt mono amp. what impendance should i use

[SonicElectronixTV]

@ondamountain You are going to want to treat each voice coil as a SVC, setting each subwoofer to an impedance of 4 ohms. Doing this will mean you now have 2 Single 4 ohm subs, at this point you wire the subs in parallel for a final impedance of 2 ohms. This will let you utilize the 800 watts from the amp to power up the subs that will require 700 watts total.

@SonicElectronixTV Thank you so much for that information. I am new to the subwoofer world so all the info i get helps alot. i have one more question though, how would i go about wiring them in parallell, im not quite sure what this means, Thanks

[SonicElectronixTV]

@ondamountain Positive of one sub to the positive of the other subs, negative of one sub to the negative of the other sub. Then go from just one sub to the amplifier. This means going from positive of selected sub to amp and negative of selected sub to amp. Also you can go to our website and under our Knowledge Base we will have a link to subwoofer diagrams.

LOL, those "3 integrated" voice coils would increase the moving mass, why would you do that? And how ary you selecting between those voice coils if there are only 2 tinsel leads going to the cone? Somebody is full of sh*t:)

[johammbass]

Infinity hasn't "developed" anything, those drivers are made by an OEM manufacturer in China:)

@Iamthemink Please keep in mind that you want to only pay attention to the RMS power ratings. These subwoofers are 350 Watts RMS each for a total of 700 Watts RMS. You are without a doubt over powering the subwoofers. You want to make sure that you adjust your gain accordingly to accomodate for the excess wattage.

@SonicElectronixTV I got two of these, and i got a 2000 watt hifonics mono amp but it only puts out 1300 watts at 2 ohms. It seems like it would be overpowering but the peak is 2800 watts total but i figured it would be in the middle then so it wouldnt be too overpowering, im somewhat knew to all this stuff. Also at 4 ohms the amp puts out 650 watts and i figured if it was too much i could just set it at 4 ohms on the sub and get 650 watts. Any tips or advice? Im installing my own system as well

wtf you call that a large magnet

[americanmisfit1]

how is this sub i might wanna buy it

[SonicElectronixTV]

@belexxes I would not recommend doing this. The Kappas can take a beating but you might be over powering them by more than necessary. I would say go with the Kicker ZX750.1 or the JL Audio HD750/1. You can even go with the Rockford Fosgate P700-1BD. If you already have the Alpine amp I would say just be careful and don't turn your gain to high.

i will run a pair of kappa 12's in an alpine pdx 1.1000 could be safe ? the pdx is a 1000 watss rms and the infinityes are 350 each,
