Thank you for choosing one of the finest 3-way component
systems available for car audio, the Infinity Reference
6513cs. This complete speaker system features:

midrange drivers with TLH™ cones for high
internal damping and resistance to temperature
and humidity extremes

• Two 19 mm (3⁄4") soft-dome tweeters with surface- and
flush-mount kits provide high power-handling and
extended sonic accuracy

• One stereo passive crossover network with individual
user-selectable output levels for woofers, tweeters,
and midrange drivers

• Flexible system configurations with connections for up
to three stereo amplifiers

• Attractive black-molded speaker grilles to complement
your vehicle’s interior

• Heavy-duty stamped steel speaker frames and use of
“high-tech” materials ensure rugged construction and
consistent reliability

This Infinity product is made with our ongoing dedication
to create the best consumer audio products possible. As a
result, you can expect your Reference 6513cs to provide
you with many years of listening enjoyment.

IMPORTANT

Before you start your installation, please read the fol­lowing instructions to achieve maximum product per­formance. Although this installation guide explains
how to install the Reference 6513cs in a general sense,
it does not show the exact installation methods for
your particular vehicle. Installation of automotive
stereo components requires extensive experience in
dealing with a variety of mechanical and electrical
procedures. If you do not feel you have the experience,
do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead
ask your Authorized Infinity Car Audio Dealer about
professional installation options.

PRECAUTIONS AND NOTES

• Turn off all audio system and other electrical devices
before you start. As an extra precaution, disconnect the
(–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.

• Protect the speaker components by keeping them in
their packages until final installation. This will keep
the magnets in these components from attracting
metal clips and filings.

• When moving a speaker component, always rest each
component so that the cone or dome is facing up.

• Never use force to install any speaker component.

• At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all
fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, and electrical wiring.
Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and
around these areas.

• Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting
surface before drilling any holes or installing any
screws. Remember that the enclosed screws can extend
up to an inch behind the surface.

• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to
remove unwanted fabric or vinyl. This will help keep
the material from snagging in a drill bit or hole saw.

• For faithful music reproduction, use only high-quality
components with this speaker system.

• A common cause of speaker failure is trying to get
more out of your amplifier than it is able to deliver.
We suggest using a high-quality amplifier with power
rating of at least 100 watts-per-channel into 4 ohms.

• All wires must be secure and protected against dam­age from folding seats, door jambs, etc. Use rubber
grommets when passing wires through holes in metal,
and allow “service loops” where needed. NEVER run
cables outside the vehicle, since exposure to the ele­ments will corrode their insulation.

• Do not use the chassis of your vehicle as a speaker
ground connection.

• Do not operate the vehicle until you are certain that
all amplifiers, woofers, etc. are secure in the event of a
sudden stop or jolt.

• Only use the enclosed passive crossover network.
Modifying or bypassing the network may cause dam­age to your components and is not covered under the
terms of your warranty.

• Always wear protective eyewear when using power or
conventional tools.
