Sounds really good for the price and an upgrade from stock ????????????

Sony XS-FB1630 - 6.5" Car Speakers

These speakers definitely lived up to the hype. I paired them with a Pioneer amp that's only a thousand Watts and it's still bangs unbelievable. I recommend me speakers to anybody who is looking for a simple solution to factory settings. Also I must include that if you Bridge these speakers you will see much better sound pairing. I paired these with the m e x 4200 BT stereo great combination you will love these speakers!

Sounds really good and really good looking for the price and an upgrade from stock ????????????

Excellent Value

I would recommend this speaker, all my stock speakers were blown in my Avalanche. I put a set of these Sony speakers in my rear doors with the GM adapter and harness. Wow, these Sony speakers carry the bass. I tested them with Hearts Barracuda at a volume of 8, awesome.

Great speakers!

I have 4 of these in my single cab and they produce great precise sound. I would recommend these to anyone who wants great sound in their vehicles!!

Sony door speakers for my Chrysler LHS

These speakers sound awesome. For the money and sound, I highly recommend especially for anyone on a budget like me. I was surprised by the bass response and they are three way which is a plus. Probably going to order the rear deck matching speakers next. Totally blown away as far as price and sound. Thanks Sonic Electronix for fast response and customer service!

great value

I have really enjoyed really sound good easy installation great design

Not that great

Better than stock speakers, but not much else. Weak bass despite advertising. Was much happier with wal marts scosche speakers, much deeper richer bass. Easy to install even tho I had to tweak the fit in my trailblazer. I wouldn't recommend them and for the same price would much rather have the scosche.

Knocks factories out water

Bought these on a whim, needed cheap affordable speakers because my fronts blew out. Man was I surprised to see that it worked quite honestly like a set for $80-100. Can’t complain, only complaint is that it could use slightly better mids but it’s a 40 dollar set

good value, average sound

great price, great value, will hold up in the car unlike stock speakers
my review is based off of a sony head unit, no amp
the sound is very average, no mid bass. i was worried the highs might be too loud and/or bright with the super tweeter, but they arent. its not fatiguing at all.

if you just need to replace your stock speakers cheaply, these are great. they sound better than the stock speakers(tho all aftermarket should)

if your looking for sound that will impress you or actually enjoy these might work well with an amp, or a sony head unit but otherwise i would look for better. i have these paired with a sony head unit that has like an auto tune feature and it helps a lot. its enjoyable with that feature, the mid bass is there, they can get super loud. but turn that off and they are different speakers

bottom line there isnt anything wrong with these, they just are cheap and durable. not impressive. best suited to replace stock speakers for cheap

Excellent value

I bought these along with a pair of 6" speakers and really enjoy them. As a package deal they were a bargain!!

Sony speakers.

These kick amp! Running off a JVC head unit and the bass is exceptional. The only issue is although they are indicated as fitting my doors, they just barely did. Had to redrill all new holes on the very edge. These were smaller than the stock speakers. I'd recommend these for anyone on a budget still wanting killer sounds.

Wow. Sony is legit!

What a value. My thing with Sony is they always give at least a "good" value for what you buy and sometimes you can get the best like their TVs which are amazing these days. I also have a PS4 which I love of course. Oddly enough, I was still hesitant with car audio. I looked at the Pioneer and Kenwood options, but then I ended up with these when I did the comparison.

They are currently powered just off a JVC stereo and scream. I was thinking about getting a small little amp, but I think the stereo is just fine.

Sony speaker's

These 6 1/2 Sony speaker's work great you can push them the louder the better they sound

Run Active

If you don’t want to spend a big chunk of change on a DSP I suggest you get this instead because of its ability to run 2/3 way active and time alignment. The only u it’s with better sq then this cost around a $1000 bucks so at Sonics price it’s a steal.

Perfect deck for audio enthusiasts

This alpine deck is awesome! It gives you so many different audio choices that at first it can be overwhelming, but once you get used to fiddling around with it, and really understand what each feature does and how it applies to your system, it can be a wonderful joy in exploring how to fine tune your set up. I think the only complaint that I can possibly say I have is the light by the usb when the door is closed is really bright and catches my eye, so I tend to leave the usb door open so that I don’t see it. That could be just because of the way the deck sits in my civic but as far as functionality this thing is spot on the best and I would not trade it for anything. I did have issues with receiving my order because sonic doesn’t tell you that Alpine is a special order item, so I ended up getting my stuff in 3 weeks instead of 3 days which was a bummer.

Alpine-CDE-164BT

It' has crisp clean sound with all the bells and whistles.

Alpine CDE-164BT

Very nice unit ..... very difficult to navigate though. I am a hardcore Alpine fan, so I am biased.
I will continue to tweak until all is well. Another awesome Alpone product .....

Excellent value!

Simply the best. Always love ALPINE products, the name says it all

Alpine CDE-164BT

Worked great in my 02 lincoln town car, easy to install

Alpine CDE-164BT

Love the sound and changing color hues . Fast delivery too

Nobody does it better! Alpine and Sonic FTW!!!

Alpine coming in with the sickest deck I've ever seen! Unbelievably clean appearance in the dash. Sound Q is top notch as you all know, and the bass engine system is out of control... easy to use and brings out bass enjoyment the likes of which I've never heard before ;)

PS....save up and buy the Alpine KTP-445A speaker amp and get some factory speaker ---replacements----!!! just go for it! you will not regret it!

I am blown away by sonic electronics ability to ship and package all of these items in such a timely manner with courteous phone techs for any issues.
I couldn't be happier with my new stereo guys, thank you again!

Great Sound, Usability and Convenience are terrible.

I've owned this Headunit for about 3 months now and am very impressed with the sound Quality and adjustability for sound settings. I bought this headunit specifically for the 9 band parametric Equalizer and time alignment. I didn't want to have to buy a digital sound Processor to correct the frequency imbalances in my system. It sounds absolutely brilliant now after bringing in a microphone and an RTA to tune.

After having owned about 5 different headunits I can also say that this is the least intuitive unit I have ever had. In the future, I think I'll stick with a very basic headunit, and get a digital sound processor for my needs. This is simply way too hard to operate. Things like trying to find a button without taking my eyes off the road is nearly impossible. The Source button is extremely bright. I have tape over it to stop myself from being blinded at night, and I cannot figure out why Alpine wouldn't also use it as the power on/off if you hold it down. Instead the On/off button is a very small button with a very hard to read little symbol surround by other hard to read buttons. I'm still not sure which it is and sometimes I get it wrong even after owning it for 3 months.

The screen of the unit is also very bright at night. This is even after the source button was taped off. I tried dimming it the first day I had it and didn't even realize it was already on dim. Now I leave it on dim all the time because it's too difficult changing it back and forth every day and I can still see it clearly in broad daylight. The unit is so bright at night it casts shadows in the car. I'm afraid that if I ever make the display blue I'll be pulled over for having blue lights on my vehicle here in Georgia.

Overall I will admit that It is really a decent unit with a lot of good stuff built in. Knowing how hard it is to operate and how bright it is, I would personally not buy it again because I do a lot of night time driving.

You also may think I'm an old man or unfamiliar with aftermarket gear because I complain about buttons and lights and stuff like that. I'm just 23 and want to keep my eyes on the road. LOL.

Excellent head unit -- can run front stage with active crossover

Nice feature of this 2015 Alpine unit is the ability to run active -- crossing the mids and the tweeters to separate amps. Slopes/levels can be adjusted easily. Alpine calls this 3Way mode and is a rare feature for a HU at this price level.

Pros: Active-capable 3Way operation with better 24db slope options for Low, Mid-Low, High than was listed in the owners manual (my unit was produced in Aug 2015). SQ is dynamic, clear, detailed -- maybe a bit bright, especially with tuner as source. Strong RCA output. Well designed interface.

Cons: Limited amount of presets (12 FM/6 AM). Primitive 2 line display, though easy to read. No remote included.

My first Alpine, coming from a long history of Pioneer/Kenwood/Sony/Sony ES. Alpine definitely has the SQ advantage with their head units.
