Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional car audio installer. Incorrect wiring or mounting can damage the speakers, your vehicle's electrical system, or cause personal injury.
Safety Precautions
- Always disconnect the vehicle's battery negative terminal before beginning any electrical work.
- Ensure all wiring is properly insulated and secured to prevent short circuits and damage.
- Wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, during installation.
- Verify speaker polarity before making final connections.
Mounting Considerations
The Kappa Perfect 300m speakers are designed for flush mounting. Ensure adequate depth and clearance are available at the chosen installation location. Refer to the "Specifications" section for detailed dimensions.

Wiring
Connect the speaker terminals to the appropriate outputs of your amplifier or crossover network. Pay close attention to positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to maintain correct audio phase. The speaker has an impedance of 3.5 Ohms. Ensure your amplifier is stable at this impedance. When connecting wires to the speaker terminals, apply gentle, firm pressure to secure the connection without overtightening, which can damage the terminals.

Operating Guidelines
The Kappa Perfect 300m speakers are designed to reproduce midrange frequencies (150 - 10,000 Hz) within your car audio system. They function as passive components, receiving amplified signals from your car amplifier, often routed through a crossover network to ensure they only receive the appropriate frequency range.
Power Handling
- RMS Power Handling: 37.5 watts per speaker (75 watts per pair)
- Peak Power Handling: 150 watts per speaker (300 watts per pair)
- Recommended Power Range: 45 - 75 watts RMS per channel
To prevent damage, ensure your amplifier's output power does not consistently exceed the speaker's RMS power handling. Operating within the recommended power range will provide the best sound quality and speaker longevity.
Maintenance
The Infinity Kappa Perfect 300m speakers require minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the speaker grilles and surrounds with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the speaker materials.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to signal loss or distortion.
- Environment: While designed for automotive use, avoid exposing the speakers to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures beyond normal vehicle operating conditions.
