Sweet sounding speakers for price.

I have two sets in my '09 Impreza. The fronts are in factory location with semi-custom adapters and I also used some NVX SDDK12 sound deadening material. The fronts are powered by bridging the four channels of a 5 channel amp. They each get about 120 watts RMS up front and that seems plenty. The rear door speakers are powered by the Pioneer AVH-P3300BT DVD Receiver H.U.

Sub: Kicker Solo Classic 10" DVC (4 ohm/coil)- Parallel, for 2 ohm load on the Sub channel of the 5 channel amp. 500 watts RMS for sub. Very small 0.6 cu. ft. sealed enclosure in trunk.

I use about 25% of the power that this system has on a regular basis, turning it all the way is painful, but still has very little distortion. At even very high volume levels (75%) it sounds perfect.

These speakers are durable, they've been installed for almost two full years and still going strong. Polks db 651s were in there for a few years before the Alpines, and they came out rusted and brittle. They were "marine" grade supposedly. These composite cages will probably be better off in that harsh environment.

Victory Cross Country Install

Installed into a Victory Cross Country with a RF PBR300X2 amp. These speakers can really take the power! Clean highs, good midrange and I can feel the bass in my handlebars. I blew a set mm651 polks in about 4 hrs with the same amp. Thanks Alpine! Time to replace the speakers in the Camaro! I can't have my bike sounding better.

wicked!

I put these in the rear doors of my 09 Jeep grand cherokee. They opened up the sound range immensely. They hit low without distorting while screaming the heavy metal highs at me. Love em! Definitely going to buy more for my wife's car that uses 6.5 throughout! The guy that gave em 1 star must have thought they were 1000 watt subwoofers.

Awesome

Had Alpine factory speakers in my previous car (Dodge) and they were awesome, so I immediately looked at Alpine for the new car. These speakers don't disappoint. Many people suggest using an amp with them. I'm only using my head unit; didn't want to go through the extra work of installing an amp. It's pretty loud as things are, but I would love to hear these speakers at full power with an amp.

Very happy overall. Great price, quality speaker, sounds excellent.

Alpine SPR-60 speakers

I installed them on my bike and love them. Sound is great and loud. Just what I was looking for

Great Speakers

I've been an devoted Harley rider for many years and I've either ridden Ultra Classics or Street Glides. With either one, it has always been a must to change out the speakers on these bikes. The Alpine SPR-60 6.5 speakers have proven to be a good investment. They are a little pricy but well worth the money. I have used 2ohms and 4 ohms systems in the past and found that the 4 ohms systems seam to sound clearer and provide more bang for the buck. I used Arc Audio adapter rings, a Hawg Wired amp and a set of Alpine speakers on my latest project. Talk about a perfect match up. The sound is incredible and clear at high speeds. The speakers are rated a 2-100 RMS and I run about 100 watts through each of them. This is truly a loud speaker with clarity. So far, no problems running them in inclement weather. If your wanting to upgrade the stereo on your Harley cruiser, I highly recommend these speakers. You will need an amp as stock Harley systems are 2 ohms and these are 4 ohms speakers. Happy motoring and ride safe.

Amazing Sound

After purchasing the Alpine 12" Type-R sub I was in awe by its performance. This one 12" sub in a ported box blew my two 12" MTX's in a ported box away (Both the Alpine and the MTX's ran off of a Boss 2500 watt 5 channel amp). So purchasing these Alpine SPR-60 6-1/2" two way speakers was a no brainer. Needless to say Alpine did not let me down. These speakers have the greatest balance of power and clarity I have heard from any other speakers in this price range. I have two sets ( 1 installed in my front doors and the other in the rear doors) being feed 120 watts a piece! I can turn these bad boys up as much as I want and I still have yet to hear any noticable distortion. These combined with the Alpine Type-R 12" sub, I have an unbeatable system for a unbelievable price.

Love the Type-R stuff from Alpine.

Love the Type-R stuff from Alpine. Its like getting the top stuff for half the price. With the right amp/speaker combo, you can really push some heavy rock.

Great speakers

These speakers are great. I installed 4 in factory locations on my buddies Infiniti QX4. I liked them so much I bought a pair for my 92 Nissan pickup truck. He was using the power off his aftermarket pioneer head unit and the mid bass was good and they got louder then most people need and sounded great doing it. I installed mine and amped them with a mb quart Q4.150 and they get LOUD. I have to sound deaden my doors now because they have rattles. I like them enough I'm ordering another pair to custom mount in the rear cab. It will be overkill but they are cheap enough I don't care. These are the best door speakers for the money I've ever heard.

PROS: great sound in a small package, they have 3 crossover or filter modules mounted on the back of the speaker to separate the mid and tweeter(similar to the passive crossovers you get with component systems) the grills look nice, you can swivel the tweeter for best direction, these are not harsh they sound great.

CONS: NONE

OVERALL: GREAT buy these you will not be disappointed. Enough said, hope this helps you with your decision.

Alpine SPR-60

Fabulous speakers running them in the rear for filler in my RSX. Ran them without front speakers for a few days due to lack of time to install others. During that time I was quite content with the output then had as a single pair. Very nice.

Great Value

For the price not a bad speaker. If you are after big sound forget it. These speaker are typical alpine and give nice clean crispy sounds. I have them running through a 60w RMS amp and they sound good. I bought them based on brand and price and was not disappointed. They were easy to install but you may need to cut a hole in you door trim for the tweeters. As value for money speakers I would recommend them.

alpine type r 6" speakers

These are very crisp, clean bass speakers that I would recommend to anyone looking to replace there existing. For the price they blow any other brands out of the water. Buy these speakers.

Best bang for your buck

I have installed many stereos over the years and these are about as good of speaker as I have ever come across for the price. The best speakers I ever had were Boston Accoustic Rallye 6x9's (R.I.P. Boston car audio) but these are right there with them. Keep in mind that these are big boy speakers so unless you can give each one at least 75 watts RMS you are wasting your time as you will never get these to their potential. I am giving each one 100 watts RMS AB power from an older MB quart amp and they sound invredible at any volume. Your ears will distort long before these will!

excellent

Bought 2 sets to replace my old Alpines and the new r series has a upgrade on the magnet like on the r subs, and the rubber surround was upgraded like the surround on the r subs also
pros
loud, clear
cons
no speaker leads, older models have the r on the front of the speaker
this model does not

Alpine type r 6.5

Installed 2 sets of these in my truck with a Diamond Audio D6 115w per speaker. Sounds great, nice mid bass, overall great speaker for the price. Loud and clear when matched with a good amp tunned correctly.

Nyyyyce

Super clear sound. They do have some bass which is cool and all but I have the bass turned all the way down and just bump the 12 inch in the back. Paired with Alpine Type-R front component speakers. Everyone who rides in my car cannot help but comment on how crisp the system is. :) very happy.

Alpine R-S65

The following review is for R-S65, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

When it comes to sound, it's hard to beat Alpine products. The R series provides an excellent "bang for the buck" with a clarity that other speakers only wish they could achieve.

The following review is for R-S65, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Awesome sounding speakers. Very loud highs, great mid bass and decent lows for the size. Came with nice mounting brackets to fit the stock door mounts.
Not sure why Alpine changed the name from Type R to R series, the rest of my system is Alpine Type R

Excellent sound quality

Very loud and clear with no break in time. Much better bass response and louder than my old Polk 651s. My only con could be my misunderstanding, I was under the impression that the tweeter was able to be aimed
