After watching your video I bought all 4 Reference speakers for my Taco, and the sound is definitely more balanced. Some people have commented that the Refs have "less bass" but I think the stockers just resonate like crazy around 60-70Hz giving people the perception of more bass when really the sound is boomy and muddy sounding. Neo magnet aside, the stock speaker basket is the crappiest lightest I've ever seen and they have no excursion whatsoever. I also got the baffles which I should of tried with and without, I think they might affect bass response in the doors as the speaker can no longer use the entire door air volume.
The 3 way has a much higher frequency response than the 2 way in the Infinity Reference, which is probably why you find it at a higher pitch. The 2 way would have been a better match for your listening style by the sound of it.
I put the Infinity Prima speakers I the front and rear doors of my Jeep. They put out so much more bass than the stock. The front 9x6 move air like a small subwoofer. I love my speakers.
For the life of me I don't know why people choose the worst music for sound testing when there are thousands of songs with bass
Facts
Because when it comes to clarity bass has nothing to do with it, a quality system uses speakers for highs and mids. If you want bass that’s what subs are For.
@@jesusamador2473 6x9 is woofer bud.
There's this called copyright infringement
because their video is monetized, meaning they are making a little bit of money off of it. If they use copyright protected material they'd have to demonetize it and they won't make anything off of it.
The little things are called mids and tweeters. Thanks for the compare and thoughts.
there is an attenuation button on the tweeter, I can see from your video the button it out/up. Push that button down and it will solve the complaint you have about the tweeter brightness.
i noticed you had the treble booster button pushed on one in the video. that makes it very bright
There are no instructions for this that I can find! Is the button pushed IN for more or less treble?
@@nickgiberson6709 more treble when it’s pushed in (on)
Gotta get the infinity kappas bro. That’s where it’s at for more bass without sub
Those two things are called tweeters, and the factory speaker does not have a Twitter, that’s just a cone.
You should try a cross over or try some sound deadening to help it
I had also noticed that the mids at infinity speakers sounded high pitched. that's why I choose jbl over infinity.
Jbl and infinity are the same company and pretty similar speakers
Same Harman material yes, but different sound signature!
There are a few manufacturers that make 3 ohm speakers for the low power that the stock HU produces.
Bring the lows out more
You have them amplified?
I have the Kicker KS series in my Silverado and Infinity REF in my Mustang (all 9 locations), both amplified and the Infinity sounds 10x better than the kickers that cost more. The Tweeter on the Kickers suck imo. Replacing the Kickers with Infinity now.
Try the QS KICKER Series
I took it up a notch, Morel Hybrid 63's, no contest.@@sunsforlife6205
You may needs and Amplifier and cross over
The reference series was meant to mimic stock
Love your video
the 2way would have been much better in the front & the 3 way in the back plus foam cones in the front & in the back to force the sound into the cab
Did you use the stock head unit for power? I have 2 infinity red tweeters, 2x infinity reference 6x9’s and 2x infinity kappa 6.5’s, but I’m not using an aftermarket amp. If they were given an actual amp to power them properly and tune them you’d enjoy the infinity speakers a lot more.
Yes I did use the stock head unit. I’d like to get an amplifier in the future.
Was the bass better, I have an older taco that has the JBL speakers from factory, do you think they would have more bass ?
I can't say for sure about the taco as I've never been in one with JBL but there's more bass than the Camry JBL system.
What amp would you recommend for these infinity speakers?
I haven't done too much research but you should look for 4 channel amplifiers that support close to 100 watt RMS at 4 ohms. You'll be able to get full power out of the speakers with something like this

If you didn't return them, just add an Audio Control D.4 800. That will change everything you want, and the reference speakers basically don't work from your factory head. They need more than the 12 watts your head is pushing. You have no idea what they sound like- you're literally not activating them.
That's a little out of my price range for right now, but I would like to get an amp in the future. It's nice to know the speakers will sound much better once they get the right amount of power.
I like your video man. Just FYI the magnet comparison isn't apples-to-apples. the stock speaker uses a Neodymium magnet with has a much higher magnetic flux output per volume compared to a conventional speaker magnet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet Some of the most expensive 6x9s out there use tiny Neo magnets.
Thanks for pointing that out, that makes a lot of sense. We will probably talk about that in a future video!
Are you sure the stocks are neos' or just paper coned low cost crap?
You need to add amp to take full advantage of these speakers try to take amp that delivers closest to rms power of these speakers
I'm planning on doing that at some point.
@@zonabros677 look for sony XM-GS4 hi-res amplifier im running my four 2 way component speakers and 4 tweeters pair sets model number ref 9630cx and ref 6530cx on it and i also have 1 set of co-axials in my dash similar to yours ref 3032cfx which i have not connected to amp.
Your review about these higher end speakers is a mute point because you did not power them correctly with an amp and sub woofer.
Thanks for the feedback, I am looking into getting an amp soon.
"I don't know what the purpose of them is.." - typical taco owner
How good is the bass?
It's better than stock but it isn't amazing without an amp.
I just got this same speakers for my Tacoma. The front 6x9 sound really good but get very little out of the back door speakers. Any advice on how to improve sound in back?
I had the same problems with my Tundra dbl cab. The rear speakers actually have less wattage get a Line out converter there $12 on Amazon and holy crap what a difference I mean no comparison now the rears actually pound.
@@christopherwilson7698 do you have the link to this item ? Thanks so much
They need a good amp for their full pontential.
