The Best for your $

Worth every penny! If you have any questions about this sub compared to another, I can tell you that the Type-R is the way to go every time. Best SQL for the price guaranteed!

Alpine SPR-17C

they was ok nice and clear but i dont think they can handle 100 rms

get ummm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great buy. I'm more that happy with it since i can finally hear music over all the bass from my alpine type-r sub. They're clear and loud what more you want. I recommend this product to everyone looking for a good deal on good door speakers.

Amazing!!!

Always been a fan of Alpine. With theses speakers I was able to have the effects of a subwoofer with out the cost of one. The bass and treble come out real clear. Wouldnt buy any other speaker.

Alpine SPR-17C Review

I was not sure if this budget speaker would sound good. I bit the bullet and ordered them. I was really impressed with the full range of sound and lack of distortion. I would recommend these again.

great speakers

These speakers are great rear speakers to have for almost any speaker setup because of their great performance. After a bit of modifying the grill that is in my car, I got these speakers to fit and after putting them through a sound test, they performed flawlessly. The sound coming from the back, nicely accompanied the front speakers and gave me a great sound experience. I would highly recommend buying these speakers if you are wanting a great replacement rear speaker.

Amazing Sound

I just got these to complete my Honda Accord. The Alpine SPR-17C and Alpine SPR-13S (The component speakers) are loud and clear, they definitely get the job done and then some. They blow my mind. Also, these are the best prices I could find! Sonic is amazing and it's always a pleasure doing business.

Alpines the best

I highly recommend these. the only thing better would be the type x, or a component alpine set up. Alpine rules.

very good

They work really well. Very good sound quality

Great

These speakers are great, have had them for a while and they still sound as good as day one. Handle both bass and highs well, sound great with my JL W3's.

Good upgrade

These speakers have a very flat response. The middle frequencies that the SPS-17c (Alpine's economical model) fail to reproduce are all there. The result is a smoother, fuller sound that will enrich almost any type of music, especially jazz and music with horns/acoustic strings.

The lows are pretty much as good as you can get from a coaxial speaker. And the highs are not too bright or overpowered, which is just the way I like it.

This speaker is very sophisticated and well-built. If you look at the back of the speaker, you will notice an extra capacitor i think (compared to the SPS) which filters the lower frequencies. It's been a while since I saw it so that's all I recall, but i remember being impressed with the crossover. The magnet is really big though, so make sure it fits.

Despite the low sensitivity, these speakers WILL do fine connected to just a headunit/factory radio. They did fine wired to my Kenwood HU (22 watts RMS) before I got my 4-channel amp; the entire frequency spectrum was accounted for.

Oh, and the price here ($90) is amazing.

Fantastic Speakers

These things scream top quality music at volumes that are just insane. When amped properly you will not find better speakers for the price. Flawless! I also own 5 1/4\'s for the front doors.

Awesome

.. I threw these bad boys up front.. They sound amazing.. I have them running on 50 watts each and they still sound great.. the mids are better than most component sets.. the highs are crisp.. only complaint is like that from the other guy.. they put in high pass crossovers on the side and the catch putting them in and taking them out..

great speakers

these here are some good speakers. alpine did a good job. i hav them in the rear and i hav the type r components in the front hooked up to a 4 chan hifonics amp and they are really loud and clear. they like to be cranked up and there is no distortion. overall great speakers

Good stuff

They get pretty loud while keeping it clean.

Sweet

IF your lookin for a nice great soundin speaker this would be the one in fact its such a good speaker that just pushin them with my deck people thought i had like two ten inch subs in but just those speakers ! REally good and cant beat such a great price

Worth More Then I Paid!!!

Speakers are Great.... I was surprised at how well they held up at high volumes. Havent added an amplifier yet, but the clarity is excellent and they compliment my subs well

Great price!

Alpine has always been my favorite speaker, their highs are so crisp. Nothing changed in their quality, still amazing! Type R over type S any day of the week, the extra $20 is well spent there. I had them in my scion tC and now I plan on getting 4 more for my Honda Del Sol.

Alpine Type R coaxials

Great speakers for the $. I would gladly recommend them (and have). They don't exactly have the world's flattest output curve, but they get pretty loud with relatively little distortion. I would say the best perk of this particular speaker is that the midbass (which I define as 70-200hz) is quite forceful relative to other speakers in a similar price range. The midrange is warm but a little muddy at high volume. The high end is a bit harsh, but it's nothing a little EQ can't tame. I didn't encounter any problems installing them - no funky clearance issues or odd screw patterns or anything.

Amazing Speakers at a Great Price

I have owned these speakers before and was on the hunt for a great deal. Sonic Electronix not only had them in stock with an amazing price. I picked up a set and wired them to a Alpine PDX-1.1000 and could not be happier with my purchase and putting these into the G coupe. No problems at all so far half a year later, extremely happy with the company and will do business with them again!

Another great Buy!

Great Mid-Range speaker. For the $$ no other is close. Since I have purchased, I have won 3 Sound Quality Competitions! Excellent!

SPR-17C

There awesome speakers, together with the 9887 head unit it's a really good sound, even without an amp and subs.

nice

very good speakers you just have to have an amp the power them 10x maybe 20x better with amp

Wow!

Don't listen the the guy below me. I've owned them for 6 months and have to say these are pretty damned good for the amount you pay.

Considering these are mere coaxials, the bass is phenomenal. It's no subwoofer, but if you didn't know any better, you wouldn't be able to tell. The trebles have no trouble keeping up with the bass and remain crystal clear even while my car is rattling like it's about to fall apart.

In order to obtain similar/great results, you MUST amp them. DO NOT USE A HEADUNIT TO POWER THEM. They will sound as bad or even worse than cheap $5 speakers.

Can't beat these for $90.00

No speakers will beat these at $90.00 a pair. I have these as my rears and Type R components in the front powered by a JBL GTO1004 at 100wrms per channel and they scream and do it lovingly. Give these power, they need it. If you want a speaker you don't need to amp I'd get something else. These are not for the timid.

LP

Exceptional service.. Product was in exact condition and quality as described.

Alpine SPR-17C

I put these speakers in my Honda CRV. I needed something better than my old factory speakers. The speakers hit the highs and the mids very well. They do a decent job with the lows. Installation was easy. It really brings the music alive. The are an excellent deal. If you buy them, you won't be disappointed.

Alpine Is The Best

I got these speakers for my 95' Honda Civic because my old speakers were blown, but these... These are great. Now my whole system is going to be based off of alpine speakers and subs. Recommend these to anyone who want a great bass response from there component speakers. Thanks Alpine.

What amazing speakers

I LOVE this product. Got 4 speakers installed in my 2011 Sonata a couple days ago. Super super clear. Since these are 100 Watt RMS, try getting a 100 Watt (RMS) Amplifier installed with it, or else your stereo will overcrank and it will produce a distorted sound. Believe me, go with these speakers and get an amp with it, your life will be complete.

Good not great

The woofers are great, midbass is excellent and they perform well at only 64 watts. Tweeters can get a bit "pingy" and "lispy" but for the price these are decent

Review of Alpine SPR-17C

I would really recommend these speakers because they have a nice, clear sound and I am currently not running as much power to them as I could be and they still have great performance alongside my 2 Alpine Type R subwoofers. Once again I would recommend these and I have not had any problems with them for as long as I've had them.

THE PERFECT SOUND

Sound is excellent, I would definitely highly recommend this product. This is THE PERFECT SOUND!

great speakers

i put these in my 96 bmw and they sound so much better then anything that was ever in it. can take anything you can throw at them. id recomend them to everyone

Very good speakers for the price, although if your looking for mega mega power, i wouldn't recommend these, i am updating to the X series in the rear because once turned up they could not hold there own with the REF X series.

Very Good speaker!!!

I have these speaker as rear speaker for my corolla they have a very good bass for 6.5 speaker and can reach very high frequency with ease. the crossovers on the side of the speaker can get in the way, I had to cut a little from the rim of my stock speaker hole. the work great and are very durable and are made with good material. I would recommend these speakers to anyone

wonderful speakers

I have had these speakers for about two months and I love the way they sound. They have nice bass for being speakers. I have these in my 2002 Santa Fe and these speakers were so much better then the factory speakers that were in there before. Would recommend this product to anyone.

Very nice 6.5

I recently bought these and I must say they sound very good for 6.5" speakers. They are a huge improvement over the stock speakers I had. In my opinion, these produce better sound quality than any other 6.5" I've heard.

QUALITY!!!!

loud and clear... these need an amp to hear the full range off power, but these still sound good off a deck!

Spendy but Great

These hit very hard but at the price. you've really got to be thinking of that.

Alpine Spr 17c

These speakers are amazing. I ordered them for a buddy and as soon as we threw them in his car the sound was incredible. Without being powered off of anything except a Sony Xplode deck from Walmart, they keep up with his 2 12" Kicker subs powered by a 500watt amp. They make it seam like the front door speakers are non existent. I would recommend them highly, for the price, there is no way to get any better sound quality. They are way better than my Infinity Kappas I have in my car.

Awesome

I have these in my truck, they sound amazing with my Type R components and my 5.25 alpines, I have all 4 pair off a 200x4 so each speaker is getting around 80RMS each because I have it turned down abit, It gets Super loud and amazingly clear. When I bought them Sonic had free 2 day shipping, you just cant beat that! Thanks

good speaker

These speakers are alright. They have great power handling and durability, and are well built. Get them if you are looking for power and a little more low end. I wasn't impressed with the mids. if you want excellent sound quality, and good power handling, and much better value (half the price), check out RE.

Alpine SPR 17C

These speakers are pretty good, better than most i think. Very sturdy, solid construction, sound great, good bass, good mids. If you have the money, go with these.

Type R 6.5s

I have owned these for nearly a year. they sound amazing. they r very clear and have incredible bass. even when the volume is pumped they maintain their high quality. i have these teamed with some type r 6x9s and ppl always think i have a sub in the back. i have pushed mine very hard for long periods of time and they r still going strong. great speakers

great speakers

Great speakers for the price, i have this installed in my 96 integra, plus 6x9 alpine SPR-69C in the rear and they sound loud way better than stocks.

alpine rocks!!!

I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer & I installed 2 sets of these Alpines. they sound so clear and have a great midrange bass. I would of paid well over $320 if I bought them though a certain store. only complaint, could of came with speaker wire. they were easy to install. thanks Sonic Electronix.

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX 6.5in Type R Review

I purchased these Type R speakers for my 2006 Crystal Grey Metallic Subaru Impreza WRX, and I must say alpine never lets me down. Hands down some of the best interior speakers I've ever purchased. They're loud and durable enough to keep sound pumping out over my 2 SX10 Subwoofer 1500w RMS setup. However, if you do have an Impreza like mine you have to lay a few layers of fatmat down behind the speaker to get the door cards to fit properly. Also you should lay down a fair amount of sound deadening on the doors to minimize vibrations.

Awesome pricing

The speakers were a great price 50% of retail and they have worked well. Alpine makes a great product in its type r series and sonicelectronix give a good price.

Good Speaker

The SPR-17C is a good set of speakers but is a little weak on bass handling and upper range treble. The SPR-17S component version is a bit better in both of these ranges. Not a bad choice though. Good quality speaker.

Cant beat the price and sound

i bought these speakers about two weeks now and they sound just as good as the alpine spx-177R and recomend them to every one.

These speakers are the best!

I bought these alpines about 3 weeks ago and at first I hooked them up to my home stereo just to see how they are, and I was really happy with the results. Now I got these babies installed in my 97 Pontiac transport and they are probably the best speakers I've had! Now all I have to do is get a amp to really see what they can do!... I Recommend this product 101%!
