Default Orion HCCA 6.2 vs Infinity Kappa 60.9cs

Hey All

Swapping out my entire system in my 02 A6. Head unit - Pioneer Avic F90BT, with sirius, rear camera etc

Using a PPIPCX2200 to drive a JL sub.
Have another PPIPCX480 to drive the two pairs of door speakers.

I need two sets of 6.5" components, and am looking at the following two sets... I have been out of the audio scene for a while, and am looking for opinions on these two options:

Orion HCCA 6.2 6.5" components 4ohm $160/set shipped
or
Infinity Kappa 60.9cs 6.5" components 2 ohm $130/set shipped.

I listen to a very wide variety of music, just looking for overall opinions of the two.

thx!!

Wade

Default nice headunit for very average speakers

I have not head much about the Orions but I hear that the kappas are decent speakers but if your rewiring the entire system with amps I would get something different than the Kappas.

Default 2nd

both options are average at best.

I'm a little biased, but keep looking.

Default Boy how times have changed.

15 years ago nobody would have even thought about comparing Orion to Infinity. Now, nobody has ever heard of Orion.

Default Personally I'd go with Rainbow slx265's but unsure if these are available in the US

Default the good old days -- orion, precision power, hi-fonics, zapco, phoenix gold, soundstream

i still remember my first amp, which was an alphasonik, which i replaced with a hi-fonics thor that eventually got stolen.
