[devious1]

Reference! My bro-in-law has Kappa's in his truck and they sound like the factory speakers.

sweet lol cuz i really do like mine so ill prolly go with them again

 

[ScottXGTR]

reference series always has a silk tweeter
kappa always has a hard dome tweeter

thats the main difference. soft tweeters are smoother, while hard tweeters are crisper. personal preference really

 

[characterzero]

I have the Kappas.
I second that the tweeter is harsher...UNTIL BROKEN IN.
I also have an EQ, so I can take some edge off.

The Kappas are absolutely kick-*** speakers, I won't run anything else...BUT since you already have Reference series, I wouldn't change. Are you running an amp for them?

I'd say the biggest difference in sound quality came with the addition of the EQ.

yes i have an mtx 404. but yeah im afraid that from having the references for a year and changing to something else. i wont like it.

 

[devious1]

Yeah thats the problem. If you do like it, don't change. You have a Cartoys near? I went there because they have kickass sound rooms and then went to Frys after I found the ones I wanted. Frys was about 50 bucks cheaper, Cartoys are a bunch of high priced punks.

Why change then? Just for shits and giggles?

Save your money...that MTX will go someday (heh, the rear two channels on mine just did!)

i have reference in my 03 and im debating on kappa to reference in my 07. but i think im sticking with reference. hah thats nice to not hear lol

 

[TheOregonFront]

while not startin another thread...

i will just use this one. what amps are you guys usin to power your doors? i have the mtx 404. i want something that will actually pound em

 

[characterzero]

funny you bumped it

because I just started looking for a new amp. Kappas run @ 2ohm, which I think might be different than the reference series.

 

[TheOregonFront]

yeah haha i wanna find a nice one with some juice to it.
