I selected the Infinity Kappa 692.9i 6x9s. They are two-way speakers, but a component system would have cost more than double. While the tweeters won’t be utilized, and there is misinformation online about coaxials sounding bad in these cars, the tweeters won’t have any impact on the lower frequencies produced by the woofer. The speakers will still play the frequencies being sent to them from the factory amp; it’s the amp that limits the range via the preset crossover settings—not the speakers.
You could go with Infinity’s cheaper reference series, but the Kappa is rated down to 35Hz, which is a full 11Hz lower than the 9632cf. I wouldn’t have paid MSRP for this difference, but it was well worth it after some online price shopping. Removing the factory grilles is a real pain (I cracked one of them on a cold day), but the installation otherwise was relatively easy and uneventful.
These are a really close impedance match, and they are made of more durable, longer lasting material than the OEM speakers (coated paper and wimpy magnets).
I wouldn't expect much of a sound difference over stock however.
