Great Sound!

Installation was easy, speakers are a perfect fit for a Ford Ranger. They can handle the power from the amp with no distortion.

Great match with an alpine head unit and small alpine amp made for the head units..

The 50 watt (i think) rms Alpine complementary amp that goes as a piggy back with their head units, really spices these speakers up..
I put 4 of these in an 06 Mustang with Shaker 500 subs in the door... The sound is amazing.. Everything a normal person would need.. The highs and mids are crystal clear, and thanks to the shaker subs, the lows are there too.. I have the gain at 50% and turning the head unit to about 70% will cause your ears to ring from the volume.. and it stays clear! Love it..

Solid Performer!

I installed the SPR-68 in my 2014 Mustang GT. At first, the bass was lacking compared to the factory speaker, but after several weeks of "break in," the bass improved. The balance between tweeter and midrange is good considering there's no outboard crossover. The ability to aim the tweeters was helpful in creating good staging across the whole dash. In fact, without time alignment or other processing, the sound stage is well outside the cabin and above the hood! Tweeters do not attract attention to themselves and blend in to give more realism than the factory speakers did. Eventually I will use a 120-W/ch amplifier to drive them instead of factory deck power. I expect they will sound even more dynamic. You will definitely need a subwoofer(s) to get the bottom end of the spectrum but that's to be expected with a small 6" x 8" speaker. Quality of the composite basket and surround are top notch. Neodymium magnet keeps the speaker very light which is appreciated in an already heavy door. Installation is simple after cutting off one of the extra mounting tabs. Would suggest that Alpine include a foam gasket to seal basket to the factory mounting location. For the price, it's hard to go wrong with these speakers. In the future I may compare them to the Polk MM570 but for now, my focus will be on adding subwoofers to see how everything works together as a system.

Great Speakers

I replaced the stock speakers in my 2006 Ford Fusion. These things were a huge improvement obviously. I have these running on a hifonics zrx1000.4 and they are getting 125w rms and handling it well. Speakers are very loud and crystal clear. and for 6x8's they have terrific bass They aren't even broke in yet. If you have the money I would recommend you buy these and you will be happy you did.

awesome

Youre getting what you pay for, even if you do not have these speakers amped they are night and day compared to stockers, I have a 2006 mazda 3 and my dad has a 2011 mazda3 equipped with full on bose system. Even he admits that the spr68's are 10x better. Best speakers i've heard in my life.

Great Sound

I recently ordered these for my 2007 F150. I am very much pleased with these speakers. I currently have 2 sets them wired at 2ohms powered by hifonics brutus 320watt 2 channel amp. I would def purchase again.
