I chose these speakers to replace the OEM in my Dodge Caravan, first with a pair in the doors. This allowed me to fade front to rear and compare the new with the old. The OEM sounded sorta ok, but they didn't pull me into the music. Actually my attention tended to drift off into my own thoughts. The experience through the Alpine SPE-6090 was just the opposite. I become engaged in the flow of the music. There is good balance in the frequency response and much detail that I wasn't getting through the original speakers. I'm really pleased. So pleased that I also replaced the OEM in the rear side panels with the same Alpines.

Perhaps this review will take on more meaning if I tell something of myself. I have sung in symphony choruses for much of my life. This places me in close proximity to instruments played in a concert setting. These Alpine speakers do a good job of getting the tonal colors right. When listening to symphonic music I can always tell which of the various instruments are performing, sorting out the oboe and the English horn, for example.

Are these good rock speakers? Look to others for advice there. But I like these for classical, jazz and folk. After six months experience I'm very satisfied with my choice of these Alpine speakers.

As for the five star rating system. My rating is based on my satisfaction, not on any comparison to other speakers that are available. I haven't heard them.

These speaks are great. I got these for my senior lounge at high school. Two of them in sonic's enclosures fill the room with sound. Bass response is awesome, vibrant and loud. the treble is very accurate and clear. Don't really like the plastic baskets tho it makes them loose integrity.

Installed these speakers in my van. Great sounding at all ranges. Making my vacation travels enjoyable.

Great fit, finish and functionality as expected by Alpine. Bought these as a replacement speaker for the rear deck in my girlfriends 2005 Pontiac G6. More than pleased with the output and improved sound quality over the factory speakers. Really satisfied considering these are Alpine's entry level speakers.

I purchased these speakers after reading great reviews on SE. I installed these in my impala powered by a 2ch Eclipse amp(70RMSx2 @ 4ohms) and I, nor anyone else who I let hear these can come to realization that I only have one set of 6x9's! These speakers sound beyond incredible for the price! I wish I had room for more because I would order another set ASAP!! The BASS,MIDS, and HIGHS that these speakers produce is simply JAW DROPPING!! Everytime I start my car and turn the radio on I SMILE so hard because I still cant believe it!! You will not regret buying these ALPINE 6x9's!! Thanks Sonic Electronix, you are my HERO!

I purchased these for my rear deck and have them at 60W RMS. OMG these things sound great for the price. They definitively sound better than the more expensive set of kickers in my front doors ( which i'm thinking about replacing with Type R's). Mids are fantastic, highs are just right, and the bass these things make is just insane, it feels like i have a 10" sub in my trunk, which I don't ...

What's even better is Kicker didn't have the nice clips on the terminals and these do, all you have to do if you amp them is slip on the clips and connect the other side to the amp and your done.

I bought these speakers with the intention they would be great concidering they were alpine and i bought a type x sub from them and its amazing.. these speakers on the other hand i cant say the same about them. The highs are okay, but the bass seriously sounds like garbage.. just sayin

Im not a speaker expert, but i have bought a lot of small speakers over the years. I personally find that you can't ever go wrong with alpine products. Crisp & Clear sound that does not break up if installed correctly. I purchased these speakers for my stock Alpine sterio 4X50 watts per channel and they sound Awesome. Price was very reasonable worth every penny. Shipping was free & fast!

i bought these to replace my factory 6x9 and dang they sound great, I am using a 900W crunch and they sound great, great bass and high, you can't go wrong with these!
