SPR-17S

I just upgraded from Alpine's Type-S components (Sps-610c) which I really liked. I really wasn't expecting a monumental difference, but I was surprised. The Rs have a much stronger bass response, and the higher quality crossovers seem to convey higher fidelity sound. I was also surprised by how much more power they want. They are only rated for 30 watts rms more than the Type-S, but that really doesn't seem right. I'm giving them about twice as much power as the the Ss could handle before distorting. I can't make the Rs distort. What surprised me the most is the R's tweeters. They have a quality that I'm not going to be good at describing. Warmer? Brighter? I'm not sure, but I love it. I read a review where someone said they preferred the S's tweeters to the R's. That almost put me off of buying these, but I'm glad it didn't. He must be crazy. These speakers are overall entirely superior. Alpine has yet to disappoint me.

Great Component Speakers!!!

Bought two pairs of these and have them hooked up to a Kicker 10ZX650.4 amp and these speakers handle it like a champ are loud. They can pretty much handle any kind of music without distortion. I definitely recommend these speakers for performance and price. Once again, Sonic did not disappoint. I already have two more orders in the works. I WILL only order from Sonic. Thanks!!!

Alpine's Rock

These speakers are some of the best speakers I have ever owned. I would recommend heed speakers ten times over. They sound colorful and bright. If pushed with with right amp it'll play loud and confidence. The speakers fiver rich detail to every instrument. Some speakers seem to genre specific. I listen to all types of music and these speakers are great no matter what you're listening too. BUY THESE SPEAKERS!!!!

Front Stage

The Front Stage is the most important in my opinion and these Alpine SPR 17S do a great job. These are loud and clear, the tweeters handle the highs amazingly and speakers do a great job with the mids! Just awesome and Sonic offers the best price around, with quick shipping and customer service. No complaints anywhere.

Great speakers

These speakers are amazing. Crossovers were also easy to fit in the door panel even tho they were "large". They take high volume extremely well and are loud which is what i wanted. IDK how they bass is cuz i turned that down since i got two 10's. But the mids and highs are good.

Great value!

Using a set of these powered by an Audioque 4X90 and they sound great! The tweeters are not too harsh and the mid drivers do a superb job!

The different tweeter mount options make them easy to install in a stock location or to mount them flush where there were no tweeters before. I went with the flush mount option and was impressed with how well the set-up worked.

I would say these are one of the better sounding component sets I have ever used.

Great Value!

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

loud and balanced

The type r's have crisp lively highs and rich mids. the rms is much more than a deck puts out so once i powered them with 45 watts vs. 18 off the deck ,they really came alive. WAY clean and loud mids and highs,surprising bass...with the amp. these separats jam significantly better than their two way counterparts, which i run in the back doors.
