I use these speakers six months. Sound there is saturated, bright and clean. But needs good amplifier.
Also I use Subwoofer Alpine SWR-1222D.

I have them in my back doors of the SUV, most people have component speakers in the front doors, but we want the entire truck to be as loud as possible, and this product is doing a fine job of that...

Review written by Crichton from Lockport, Illinois
When I first had these installed I was highly disappointed. My factory stock 8" subwoofer had to be sacrificed in the install and all my bass seemed gone. I thought the midbasses on these would pick up some of the slack, because it was only a stock 8", but guess not...
At first I felt like I had wasted my money. But it turns out the amplifier powering these was high passed at 200Hz! That's about 100Hz higher than these can safely go. Once I switched them down to about 100Hz, things were sounding better. But the final push came from a proper headunit upgrade. Running off a low-end aftermaket headunit with no real EQ settings is a waste of time if you buy these speakers. I upgraded to an Alpine Ai-X305 with the PXA-H100 audio processor hooked to it and now, finally, more than a year after the initial install, these things SHINE.
Highs are as advertised, bright and crisp due to the metal tweeter dome; sibilence can be an issue but only when you get into the max volume ranges. Woofers have a decent amount of snap to them, but nothing compared to a real subwoofer or a higher end component set.
Gave features and durability a 4 only because compared to the SPX-17PRO's, the woofer materials and crossover network features are inferior.
The professionalism, speed in processing, and absolute CRAZY price made me come back a 2nd time in the same week. This is getting addictive! At least its not breaking the bank! Thanks for everything Sonic, please keep up the great work!
