Infinity Reference 5032cf 5.25-Inch, 135-Watt High Performance Two-Way Loudspeaker (Pair) Review

Purchased these speakers. While they worked, they were fine. However, they stopped working after about 6 months. The stereo wasn't too loud, since the speakers replaced 15 year old stock BMW speakers which had a lower rating.
Called HarmonKardon / Infinity for warranty service. Went to the local location and was informed that I had to return the speakers to the dealer I purchased them from. Spoke to Amazon, who informed me it was a manufacturers warranty, and they had to provide service. Classic catch-22. However, in general I would have to side with Amazon, the manufacturer should provide the warranty service in this case.
So I'd give the speakers a 4 while they worked, and a 0 since they won't live up to their 1 year warranty.

Infinity's 5-1/4-inch 5032cf is a two-way loudspeaker with Plus One woofer cone and edge-driven textile dome tweeter, and offers an ideal--and simple--upgrade to your factory drivers. Infinity's Unipivot tweeter can be pointed toward listeners even when the speaker is mounted off-axis, for a an optimized stereo image.



Infinity 5032cf Features
Plus One woofer cones This patent pending technology deliver a cone with more surface area than competing models of the same size. The result is increased bass output and higher efficiency.
True Four Ohms All Reference speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance "seen" by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Reference Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit.
Edge-driven textile dome tweeters These are not commonly used w-domes, but fully-edge-driven domes like those found in better home audio speakers. The benefit is increased power handling and reduced distortion at high output levels. This technology also allows for better integration with the mid/woofer.
Unipivot Infinity's Unipivot (patent no. 6,002,780) allows the tweeter to be pointed at the listener's location even when the speaker is mounted off axis. This optimizes the stereo image and ensures a more uniform response.
Tweeter level adjustment The 5032cf also features a tweeter level adjustment located on the front of the speaker and can be set at the reference level of 0dB. If the speakers are located low in the doors or if you are looking for a brighter sound, set the tweeter at +3dB
Rubber surrounds This material provides optimum cone-edge suspension and absorbs distortions that may travel up the cone edge, adding stronger low-end.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R152 5.25-Inch Full Range Coaxial Speakers Review

These are power hungry so make sure you are pushing these with a deck with at least 20watts RMS or better yet an amp rated at their wattage. These and other speakers work best after their proper 50 hour break-in period. They get less "pitchy" on the high's and the mid's and low's become less "muddy" as the hours wear on. Especially the tweeters, whew! They scream out of the box and killed my ears. Also as the hours wore on I gradually adjusted the 8kHz range up though which is a good thing for clarity. I prefer my music to not be peaky but we all have different tastes. I wouldn't trade this in for any other speaker in this price range though. Keepers! Rockford quality what else can I say besides the higher priced Fosgate's are obviously better sounding but.....the price again.
