I havent had any 6x9 in Kappas but I have had the Clarions. They sounded excelent. My best 6x9 have been Mb quart. You can get them fro under $300.

i have all clarion speakers, with front JL Audio tweeter. Although I wish i had Infinity instead. Clarions are okay, but i like Infinity sounds better.

Best way is too listen to them in the shop and see which you like. I wouldn't buy speakers unless I hear how they sound.

I prefer the sound of the infinitys but would suggest using something other than 6x9's :/
