Ok. I see tha that the Infinity Reference is also 90W RMS. I had been driving my Kappa's with a 400W RMS Kenwoond Excelon amp along with a 10' Infinity sub. It is my unerstanding that it is more dangerous to underdrive a speaker than to overdrive it. So I am concerned that the stock amp may not be enough. It is driving 6 speakers and a sub so the front's will probably only be getting maybe 60W per speaker. Also do not know if the amp is rated for RMS or max power. I am just guessing since I can not find any specifics on how the stock amp is setup.
