I'm in the market for a set of 5x7/6x8 speakers for my front doors. I'm undecided between Infinity Kappa 682.7cf coax or Focal Access 570 CA1. The Infinity Speakers come with separate crossovers, are rated at 300 Watts PEAK and 100 RMS. They are also 2 Ohm speakers so they'll draw more power out of my amp. The Focal's are rated at only 120 PEAK and 60 RMS but I'm not sure if they are underrated. I know Focal is an excellent speaker but these are definitely NOT their top of the line series. Is this a no brainer? Any opinions, suggestions and/or recomendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ya'll!!!!! undecided on speakers -- posted image.

I did listen to both and I didn't notice much of a difference at all so I guess now it's boiling down to preference and opinions.

Match it to your amplifier that your powering it with. If the amp is only 50 RMS then use the Focals because it will perform better and probably sound better at higher volumes.

I'm using an old Rockford Fosgate 4080DSM. I know that the amp is highly underrated and will be pushing out more than 50 watts RMS. I might go with Focal for now. If I'm not happy I'll switch over to Infinity. I'm also now considering the "old" MB Quart. The ones that were made in Germany....not the current ones. I have an old 6.5 component set in storage that I had back from the late 90s that I might end up using.
