Looking to replace the factory amp with the FARK and a Fockford Fosgate Prime R400-4D (2ohm). The front speakers I am looking to replace with Infinity Kappa 60.11CS 6-3/4" component speaker system (2ohm). I plan on leaving the rear 6X9s alone for the moment as I understand they do very little and just provide some "fill". Can anyone tell me if this would be a decent setup or point me in a better direction? I also would love some input on how to replace the tweeters properly. Again, not looking for the loudest, best, or expensive upgrades. Thank you!
There is absolutely nothing under $500 available on the market you could replace those Infinity Kappa 60.11CS with that would be worth the cost. If your driving those with the OEM amplifier or heaven forbid something as low quality as a prime amp, they will sound like absolute trash and it's no wonder you believe you need to replace them. Sure, you could certainly look at Hertz and Focal, potentially some JL C5 series, or downgrade and look at some cheap Pioneers, Sony, JL C2s or RF-P2s but at the end of the day, driving quality speakers with a POS amp is like riding in a Bentley with a Prius motor.

Your problem isn't the speakers, your problem is the amplifier. You need to be looking at a quality 4 channel, like the JL Audio 300/v3, Alpine PDX-V9 (or F6), RF Punch P600x4, PPI 900.4, etc. At which point you will most likely blow the rears since they are junk and cannot be driven with an aftermarket amp properly anyway.
