Does anyone have these speakers here? Were you a speaker salesman LVMAN777? Been seeing a lot of speaker ads posted by you lately.

Someone decided to leave me alone for the weekend.

Yes, every one of them have spades connected with solder. You will be fine as long as you are not on those terminals for more than 5 seconds. I did a few passes with some wick and pulled the connections off with the iron on it after getting most of the solder off. Once you get them back together you'll want to re-solder those spade connections.

Yeah, a de-soldering iron is very handy with those speakers. The first time seeing those terminals soldered I was like WTF?

Thursday came and went. When are you bringing those damn things in the house so we can take a look see with the grilles off?

Unless your defeating the internal crossover (which wouldn't be a good idea) I wouldn't even bother with one. But if you were, I would make sure the bottom end set at 100 hz and the top end set at 80 hz. The crossover point on the Kappa 9's is around 90 hz. Better to be safe than to always be second guessin.

Unless the Soundstream bridged amps are rated at 2 ohms, probably would not try it. Also putting bridged M-1.0t's on those speakers is a bad idea they will sound like crap and you run a good chance of damaging the amps or speakers (speaking from experience). I see 2 options with the amps you have Kevin. Option A. (which is what I would do) 2 M-1.0t's. 1 for the mids and highs, 1 for the bottom end. Of course your going to need some restraint when it comes to the volume. Different kinds of music will dictate that one. Start off with some Pink Floyd to get a better idea. Option B. M-1.0t on the mids and highs, M-1.5 on the bottom end. See how that fares after trying option A. Later if you can get your hands on some Silver 7t's or 9t's your search will be over on Carver amps for the Infinity's, unless you can get your hands on a TFM-75 or a PT-2400.
