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.

Review written by Faraad from Baton Rouge, LA
Alpine offers great high/ mid range sound with this component set, but I would not recommend this to anyone with a non-competition car. These are fairly expensive and you'll end up spending a lot in the long run when you have to buy an expensive amp to power these. An expensive capacitor because your headlights start dimming, and I may even have to upgrade my alternator. Trust me, go with some 40-60w RMS speakers and you'll get the same satisfaction without digging too deep in your pockets.

Great Speakers. Definitely worth the money. I have this component set installed in the front and two 12z in my trunk and together they sound amazing! No regrets.

Review written by Matthew from Glen Allen, VA
I have these and the 5x7 model hooked up to a Rockford 450.4 and they scream cross over is awesome, and I have owned MB Quart, Boston, and Focal. These by far are the best for the money, and the installation is all to easy. I have them in an 02 ranger in the front and I love the fact that these come with a 5x7 bracket fit perfect HIGHLY recommend for the price. The tweeter is perfect the mid is perfect. Perfect speaker all around!!!

Review written by Charles from Carteret, NJ
You cant go wrong with these speakers. They pretty much do it all, from bass to the highs, the entire sound range is great. I get as much bass out of these as my 6x9's, and with a little more power from an external amp, these babies are untouchable

Review written by Wai Kit from Kota Kinabalu, 0, Malaysia
These speakers have amazing detail. Every note is heard individually. Sounds great with original WAV files. With lower quality MP3s, the imperfections of the source music will be heard, requiring a decent equalizer to bring down the midbass a bit. Otherwise highly recommended.

amped up, these speakers sound amazing. really crisp high ends and good mid range. lacks lower frequencies however the subs i'm getting will counter that. great buy!! simple to install and well worth it.
