Anyone paired Infinity Kappas to the lowly Sync system?

Looking to see if there is any issue fitting Infinity Kappas in the doors of a 2016? I know they have pretty massive magnets that interfere with some vehicles windows being able to roll down.
My understanding is they use a standard 6x8 speaker.

Also did one loose a lot of low end compared to factory?
These factory speakers actually give a surprising low end response. I know many aftermarket speakers tend to loose all low end when only powered by a factory unit.

Figure I would wait a bit before diving in and wiring up some amps to see if we get any aftermarket support. But would like a bit better sound than factory to pair with a FLAC player.

Granted I can only turn it up to 14 at the moment as I am stuck with a neutered MyKey at the moment. The dealer only gave me the 1 non-admin key.

Surprised no one has.
I’ll likely give them a go. I buy from Crutchfield and they give you 60 days to return if you aren’t happy.

The biggest issue with aftermarket vs factory speakers, is impedance. Ask Crutchfield or someone in your area that knows. Most if not all car speakers are 4 ohms, factory speakers can be 4, 8,or some 16 ohm. Efficiency is another criteria. If your factory speakers have an efficiency of 94 db for 1 watt, and the Kappas only have say 90 db for same 1 watt, they won't play as loud, or have the same bass response. That said do a little homework, ask a lot of questions, and if promising give them a go. As the other member stated always have a return policy, in case they don't work. I've installed a lot of Stereo in my days, some were great, some made my skin crawl!
