alpine sps-610c speakers

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I had no idea how terrible my old speakers were until I put the first new alpine speaker in and played it the one speaker by itself sounds much better than the 4 that I was replacing by itself

Good for mids and highs, less bass than I expected.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I bought these for the front of my '02 F-250 and have had them for a few months. The factory Ford speakers were 5x7, so these fit the location, but need an adapter to be properly screwed down and the door panel needs to be space out about 1/2 inch to prevent the 6.5" woofer from contacting the grille on the door panel. I mounted the tweeters in the panel behind the door mirrors. The highs are absolutely amazing at Sonic's price, the woofer doesn't get quite as low as I expected. I thought that they would cover the low end a bit more than they do. Without adding a subwoofer, I would be somewhat disappointed in the overall performance. If you add a sub, they work well covering the mid and high frequencies.
The speakers look good, but I do not like the new plastic frame on the woofer. As others have mentioned, these come with the wiring from the woofer to the tweeter, but no wiring to connect to the headunit. Not a big deal, but a little frustrating.
I have these powered by a Alpine CDE-147BT head unit.

Awesome Value Upgrade

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I just finished installing a set of Alpine SPS-610C speakers in a 1995 Mustang convertible as replacements to the stock 5x7/6x8 “premium sound” Ford speakers. They are driven by a 16 watt per channel Alpine iDA-x303 head unit without an external amplifier.

The SPS-610C woofers were mounted in the stock door locations using ¼” hardboard to adapt the stock oval hole to 5” round size needed. Making an adaptor was fairly simple – cut a 5” circle in ¼” hardboard, use an old speaker to trace the speaker shape centered on the circle hole you just made, make the final cut about ½” bigger than the speaker line and your template is done. Now make a second one for the other side. You can choose buy adaptor plates with the 5” hole precut.

I mounted the SPS-610C tweeters high on the door panel through a trim plate that covers the side mirror mount by cutting a 2” round hole in the plastic. Alpine includes parts to mount the tweeters in a variety of ways including surface mount so you can put these little tweeters just about anywhere you want.

Since I do not do this kind of work on a regular basis, installation took several hours because of the custom cutting required. SPS-610C speakers are connected to the head unit by running the stock speaker wire first to the woofer then connecting a second supplied wire, with built in crossover, from the woofer terminals to the tweeter. Alpine provides wiring and crossovers for the tweeter, but be aware that Alpine DOES NOT INCLUDE PIGTAILS to connect the woofer to your stock speaker wires. You will have to solder your own pigtails, which I chose to do, or buy one of the various stock speaker connector wires specific to your vehicle. I had to take one start off the Value category for Alpine being chincy.

The stock rear speakers were also replaced with Alpine SPS-517 Coaxial 2-Way speakers. Alpine DOES include the pigtails to connect the SPS-517 speakers to the stock wiring.

The sound created by these component speakers is a tremendous upgrade over stock even with the internal 16 watt per channel head unit. The SPS-610C component speakers provide a richer sound experience with better separation than a standard 2-way speaker. The woofers provide impressive low frequency sufficient to vibrate side view mirrors of the car at mild volume although nothing like the feel you would get from a dedicated subwoofer and amp combination.

The performance of these speakers is excellent for the cost. Paired up with the SPS-517’s in the back there is ample sound to enjoy music on the highway with the top down. For a bit more oomph, an Alpine KTP-445 head unit amp would provide a clean 45 watts per channel. However, if you are considering a high power external amplifier for your car you should probably spring for a Type-R or Type-X speaker set instead of the Type-S.

Ran these in a Dodge Ram

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I ran these in a dodge ram for a friend pushed by an old school crossfire tek150. He originally had it pushed by a powerbass which sucked buttonholes but once we switched it out for the crossfire old school amp they really came to life. Clean sound. I ran the older ones in my acura rl for literally 8 years and never had to switch them out.

good speakers for the money.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

i bought these speakers for my new setup in my cars, i am running a powerful sub so i just needed clean sounding speakers that didn't necessarily have to produce alot of bass. I feel these are great speakers if your running subwoofers, if your not i would recommend the type r's instead so you can get a little more bass out of them. Always amp these component speakers no matter what model you buy, its worth it. these speakers actually cost about the same as my pontiac "monsoon" aka monsuck speakers would have costed to replace and are insanely better.

Amazing sound

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I installed these speakers into my '99 Blazer with the woofers in the door and the tweeters in the dash. It took several hours to cut the tweeter mounts and redrill the woofer mounting brackets on the door and to wire in the in-line crossover. That being said the sound clarity versus stock is night and day across all variations of music from alternative to dubstep these speakers perform. I am very impressed as to how low these speakers will go. In some cases its enough to vibrate the rearview mirror. The sound is extremely full and rich with clear highs. And I am just running them off of my Kenwood KDC-352U deck for now. Matched with a subwoofer this will be nothing short of an outstanding stereo setup. I recomend this kit to anyone looking for a great set under $100. Once again Alpine has lived up to my expectations.

They hold their own on the front stage...

I wanted to upgrade the sound system in my Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, but needed tweeters that were slim enough to fit in the factory A pillar spots without any cutting or flush mounting. At first I tried a pair of JBL Stage components, but I had to greatly modify the tweeters to fit cleanly and they reached their limit at about 50W RMS. After doing a LOT more research, I picked up a pair of these Alpines and the installation was smooth as butter! They take every bit of my 75W RMS, and they are willing to play lower than my door panels would like which really helps me bring the bass to the front stage with my subs. The best compliment I can give is that I hear the fine detail in my highs and midrange, and they blend with the subs to the point that I think the drums are in front with me and not in the cargo area. I listen to every type of music, and these will play well with voices and with instruments, even EDM sounds good with these. For the price, I am very satisfied. The average listener won't need to turn these up as loud as I do, but they will hold their own against a decent low end and make your music sound great.

Clear with good midrange reproduction.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I had heard these in a Best Buy and thought they would be a good inexpensive set. I ended up purchasing from Sonic because of the better pricing. They ended up going in my Sons car after I returned a pair of Fosgate components that had terribly harsh Mylar tweeters. I had to say that silk tweeters with the Alpine set are bright without being harsh. The midrange has a good vocal presence and sufficient midbass. The set is being powered by a MB Quart Onyx 4.80 that also powers a ported 10" Boston Acoustics subwoofer. I have to say that my son's system sounds almost as good as my Infinity front stage being powered by my old school Phoenix Gold M25 amp. I did reduce the star rating on features because of the lack of attenuation adjustment on the crossover. At this price point that is to be expected

Good for Listening but not for Extreme Loudness

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

If you are looking for good quality sound that enhances your stock stereo then you might like these. If you are looking for something that gets loud then these are not for you. I bought 2 pair of these for my celica and hooked them up to a 4 channel hifonics amp pushing 100W to each of them. Even though it says they can handle up to 240W, they have blown twice and I am now on my third pair with a blown tweeter. I admit I listen to them extremely loud but I figure they should be able to handle it. I guess not.

VERY GOOD UPGRADE

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

Quality components

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I love these speakers. I gave a 4 overall because the only instructions are on the back of the box and the part I really needed clarification on, was covered by the shipping label. Also the tweeter mounts are a little fragile. The sound is incredible. I mounted tweeters in the stock location up on dash window corners of my 2012 Hyundai Sonata. They provide crisp highs while the mid-woofers mounted on the doors provide incredible range with incomparable clarity over stock speakers.

Good

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

Put these in the front of my 2010 Civic Ex-L as part of a total speaker replacement. Woofers are great. Word of warning with the tweeter components, though. I have a factory amp that apparently puts more power to the tweeters than other speakers. As a result, the 610C tweeters screamed so loudly it threw off my entire audio balance and ruined the quality. Best Buy's solution was rewire to bypass the amp or do a bunch of other expensive stuff. I just put back in my stock tweeters and now the whole system sounds great. Sonic Electronix had the best price and I got the speakers in a few days.

Good Speakers

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

This is a good speaker for the money. Upon opening I was put off by the plastic baskets and thought I made a mistake, but these sound great. I have these in front, powered with alpine 50x4 along with the alpine sps-610 for rear fill. They sound great at full range alone, but added a kicker amp/sub package to give it a real nice bottom end. I didn't run these w/o the amp so I can't speak to that.

An Alpine top value!!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I installed these speakers in the door of my Toyota Yaris, these speakers replace an old, worn set of JL evolution co-axis. Boy, the difference was amazing! Clear highs and surprising mid-bass! An incredible bang for the buck investment! I got em' hooked to a 70 watt per channel Alpine amp, (on the pre-set high pass setting). Now commute in my beater is quite enjoyable! Thanks Sonic!!

Very good performance for the money!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

We purchased these as replacements for OEM speakers in an '03 VW Passat. Install was reasonably easy, although we had to modify the plastic VW trim that had the original OEM tweeter, and add standoffs to the door panel speaker mounts to allow for window clearance. Once installed, the speakers all perform really well. Good sound clarity throughout the full range of highs and lows. We liked these speakers so well that I've purchased two additional sets to replace the ones that were stolen when the vehicle was recently carjacked. I guess the car thieves liked the performance too!

Alpine Type S 6-1/2" component

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

These speakers are the same as the Type S 6-1/2" coax speakers, but they come with a better crossover. (12db vs. 6db.) I have them powered from an amp at 75 watts each. The sound is good for the price. These could be powered from a good head unit with no problem. I installed them in a friends truck who didn't want to spend a lot on speakers (along with a 8" Image Dynamics sub), and he was very happy with this sound. And for just over $400 for these component speakers, 8" sub, amplifier, and Stinger HPM wiring, we now have an great sounding budget system and the interior still looks stock.

great value indeed!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

1st off, i didnt buy mine from sonic but i had to give praise somewhere..note that i have mdf baffles and deadener in my doors so your MMV..
i love these components. theyre running off an alpine cda-9815 ~27w RMS and they sing, however it takes most of the h/u power to get them really going, i cant wait to see what a good clean amp will do. i havent tried them all but ive tried lots and i can say these would be hard to beat for the money. my only gripe is the basket material, not that its bad, but its easy to crack/damage if youre not careful installing.

thanks to finding a mint 9815 locally i have become a recent alpine convert and im enjoying them quite a bit (cda-9815, sps-610c, mrp-m350) my highs amp will be alpine also. for some reason i always thought alpine was over priced and over marketed like some other well known brands but ive found them to be a pretty good value.

sounds wonderful

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I researched speakers for about 3 months for my avalanche and finally decided on these. I went to Best Buy and several other local audio stores and listened to these as well as others over and over again. I listen to a wide range of music from electronic dance to jazz and these really pick up the overall sound in song. I am very satisfied and purchased the matching SPS 610 for the rear. I was able to buy both sets at an amazing price.

Okay for the price

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

Don't get me wrong these are good speakers but, The Type S more for songs with NO BASS, They do not make good bass, amped or off a deck, They are Great on highs and mids but No bass, If u dont got a Sub dont buy these, I have some Rockford Power series speakers now that cost a lot more but well worth it, They are way better on bass, highs, and mids, U dont even need a sub unless u just want that extra kick. These speakers are good if your on a budget way better than stock but go ahead and get good speakers and a amp, your ears will thank you.

Never underestimate your high's!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

I ordered this as a last piece for my complete setup in a 97 Honda Prelude. After spending about $1500 on a sub setup and Dynamat'ing the vehicle, I have to say that these made it sound 200% better without question! The highs really screamed and matched, even a little-overpowered two 12" Kickers in the rear. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for that high-end power that's so easily overlooked when creating a system. The bass isn't everything - these will definitely make your high's compete well with any bass setup!

A pretty nice Component Speaker

My front doors have 6.5's with 2 tweeters in the Dash. These Alpine Type S speakers sound really good. My old car had type R Alpines so I feared that the Type S would be a step backwards. However this car isn't meant to have aggressive volume like my old installation did and they have really good sound! The one thing I don't particularly like is the new style of tweeter crossovers. Alpine assumes that you can easily run the tweeter crossover to the speaker. On my Volvo this would have been a huge undertaking as the door pass through really isn't aftermarket friendly. I ended up having to splice it into the amp speaker outs, which works ok but I would rather have a traditional crossover box.

Hard to beat at this price.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

For the money these speakers sound great. There is no included crossover, frequencies are controlled with capacitors, but still sounds pretty good. Tweeters can be a little harsh but if you have a good head unit you can dial them in fairly well. There are definitely better speakers out there but prob not at this price range.

Just awesome.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

I have a set of these in the rear side panels of my hatchback with the tweeters at ear level and these things scream. So far ive only been running them off the deck but plan on amping them soon with a 4 channel 50watt rms 100 max amp. My front doors take the same size as the rear panels and im definitely getting another set of these components. I never installed them in the front because i have to cut my door panels. (door has mounting space but my car didn't have door speakers so the panel is solid unlike better optioned models) I have 4" speakers in my dash and I love these type s components so much im going to get the type s 4" 2 way speakers for the dash. No need to mount crossovers since the tweeter wire has a capacitor in line to block the low frequencies. You can push on the tweeter to move it around to aim it where you like. Like others have said they dont have much or any low end so I highly suggest using a sub. And the downside to not having separate crossovers is you dont have any real option for tuning at the crossover but if you have a good deck and amp that shouldn't be an issue. I actually paid $55 more for these at b*** b** and even at $135 they were still a great value. $79.99 is a STEAL. If you have a sub and stock speakers and don't want to spend a lot buy these components and i promise you will not be disappointed.

best bang for your buck

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

For now i am running it on an Alpine head unit rms per channel is 18 these speakers handle up to 80 rms and with that small amount of power it is enough to hear clear sound with excellent midbass and with the volume you desire with no distortion.

Great Speakers!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

These Alpine Type S speakers kick! Great sound if you feed them the power they deserve. Crystal clear clarity. Only minor drawback is that the tweeters are a little too prominent. For component speakers these are well worth the money.

Great Sound and Price

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

Excellent price, even after shipping. Speakers sound great and huge upgrade from the stock paper cone junk. Even off stock head unit, very noticeable improvement in mids and bass. Highly recommended, especially at this price point.

Great for OEM Replacement

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I put these in a 2007 Dodge Nitro and the results were better than I had expected even with the factory head unit installed. Installation was a breeze with the included brackets and there were numerous mounting options for the tweeters included.

Just dont know

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

Well I'm on my second pair. The first pair blew within ten minutes having them hooked up. They say there 75 watt RMS and I had about 30 running to them but they blew. And the second pair is working but not like I thought they would. I'm gonna leave him in for the winter then there out and gonna buy something else..I wouldn't recommend these to anyone and if your gonna buy a component set get one with a crossover and not the inline built in one like this model..it does a horrible job cutting frequencies.

Fantastic

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

Fantastic speakers. I have them in the front doors of my 2010 accord coupe powered by a sony 4 chan amp (60w rms per chan). Its like removing cotton from your ears.

Pro: clarity is unbelievable. the tweeters really impressed me as well.

Con: these are NOT bassy punchy speakers as their frequency response only goes down to 70hz.

I didnt know what i would be expecting when i bought them, as far as bass goes. I paired with them an alpine type R sub and the sound is great. These definitely need to be paired with a sub.

Great sound - strong highs

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

These speakers have great clarity and a vivid high end. they sound like they are voiced for a system including a subwoofer. They have very clean sounding lows but do not hit hard (but the high-pass filter means they can handle LOTS of power).

bottom line: EXCELLENT buy if you have a good subwoofer. If not, they have a very clean sound and I suppose it depends on how much "thump" you're looking for. Any speaker with more low end is going to crash and burn at high volume, unlike this robust pair.

Impressive mid-bass, too bright of highs

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

These were mid-bass monsters in my Cavalier. The doors were sealed and deadened, which probably helped a lot. Not to mention they were powered with a Rockford PBR300X4. Sadly, the highs were just too much for me, probably due to my hyperacusis. Ran an Alpine CDA-117 with Imprint and due to no ability to tailer to tune, it always resulted with highs that fatigued my ears rapidly. Dialing down the gain on the amp didn't help much, as it seemed to result in insufficient highs. One tweeter finally blew, so I replaced them with some cheap kicker coaxial speakers.

Don't want to give them more than a 3.5, but that's not an option. So, given no one that heard my setup ever complained about the highs, I'll bump them to 4 stars.

Great Value. Love them!!!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

The speakers are great!!! They easily fit in my GMC sierra 1500 ext. cab. They sound good for the money. I am not a big music person so I don't notice little differences between speakers but they are defiantly better than the stock speakers.

I would recommend them to friends.

Great product & price

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I was deciding between these and a set of infinity components. Decided on the Alpine due to price and buy one get one 50% off. Needless to say these don't disappoint, sharp, crisp and full. Bass might be lacking but I have a sub for that.

Awesome Speakers

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

Got to say alpine is some of the best if not the best out there. Have these for front and rear speakers in my rsx. Flush mounted the tweeters in the doors and rear seats. They are very clean on the midrange & up. Not too much of a bass speaker but that what subs are for IMO. Have them hooked up to an amp and they bring out the clarity. For the price u cant beat them.

Good Speakers

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

I bought these to replace the factory speakers in my 6th generation honda accord coupe 98-02.They sound much better than the cheap stock speakers that came and the car and compliment my two type r 12's nicely. Install wasn't too bad once I figured everything out. I had to cut some plastic out of the factory mount in the door and then used the supplied spacers and everything fit well. I mounted the tweeters in the factory dash location and they sound great there. I bought an amp for these but probably won't even install it they sound good off my Clarion CZ500. Oh yeah tweeters not harsh at all. Very pleased for the amount paid.

Plesantly Pleased

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

Purchased two pairs of these to replace the factory garbage that came with my SX4. Have them connected to a Pioneer D9500F and they deliver nice mids and highs to go along with my MTX enclosure. Can't go wrong for the price or Sonic service. Thanks!

Great compnents!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

I replaced the factory speakers in my '05 Malibu Maxx with these speakers. WOW!!! The sound is amazing!!! Crystal Clear! These have a lot of punch when they hit, and the highs are brilliant. They don't get too low, but that is why subwoofers were invented. The only complaint i have has more to do with my car then the tweeters. I had to cut my tweeter mounts a little bit to fit these, but it was very simple, took 5 minutes at the most. Well worth the money!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

These components put out the clarity and detail you want! They hit the highs and mids great. Very clear on the lows but don't hit real hard. Get a sub with these and they are amazing. Match the component with SPS-600's and its perfect.

Strong mid-bass, too bright of highs

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

Bought a set of these years ago and used them in a 99 Cavalier RS Coupe along with an Alpine CDA-117, Imprint Processor, and RF PBR300X4. No matter how many times I re-tuned with the Imprint Processor, the highs were too bright and early piercing. Probably due to my hyperacusis. Never had anyone else complain about the highs at least.

The mid-bass was quite strong, possibly due to having sealed/deadened my doors. That was one thing I personally liked, as I could often turn my sub level to minimum and still be plenty content with how my music sounded in the lower octaves.

After three and a half years, the passenger side tweeter blew, so I ended up replacing them with kicker coaxial speakers for simplicity sake.

Not sure I'd buy again.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

I purchased these to replace the 6.5" speakers in my 87 supra that were already aftermarket but had a cut in one of the cones.

I ran all 12GA wire to these speakers, and connected it to my amp (previous were just deck powered) While they are loud, they really don't impress on the bass, and the tweeters are OVERLY bright. I'm not even sure how to shut them up but when I do it though my Kenwood KDC mp 919 it makes the sound quality suck.

Not sure what to do at this point, but one thing for sure is the SPS-610 NON components I have in the back can't handle nearly the power of the component set. They clip like crazy unless I filter out anything under 150 HZ.

Not impressed at all.

this is all you need!

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

my setup is front type s 6.5 components, rear 6x9 type r coax, 1 1243 type r sub in a sealed box with 2 powerbass xtreme amps. I absolutely love this set up. You really don't need anything more than these speakers when you're driving. My pb amp is putting 90 watts to all 4 channels and I can't even get it high enough to distort before my ears hurt because its so loud. Literally its like being in a club in my car with just the 4 speakers and the sub. you can hear me driving everywhere too. I listen to rock and rap and honestly they're worth the money. They dont have the most bass in the world, but honestly you don't want it when you have a sub in your car. The sub will overpower everything with bass so its pointless. These dont make me cry because the treble hurts my ears so much. Its so crisp and doesnt distort. Highly recommend I just wish the crossovers were adjustable...but then again I have an amp and a headunit that can adjust it so it doesnt matter really..

Decent Speakers - easy to install

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

I installed these to replace the stock components in my Honda Element. I paired them with an Alpine PDX 4.100 and they sound great. You can get a decent amount of bass from the woofers and the tweeters have crisp highs.

One great feature is that the crossover is a small plastic tube that you can zip tie almost anywhere. I like this idea a lot better than those bulky boxes.

Deaden your doors and protect the woofers with some baffles and you can get some real decent sound.

Great Speakers for 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad

good product at amazing price.

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-600C).

i have these speakers in the front doors of a suzuki hatchback and the the sps-600's in the rear. the speakers themselves sound amazing, handle 70+ watts each with no distortion. the tweeters are by far louder and clearer than stock but seem to be a little harsh in the top. i reduced this by dropping treble and increasing mid in my systems eq and now sound great. just required some tweaking. sub will be necessary but in terms of final sq i would definitely recommend this product over anything else I've heard.

Perfect

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

This was my 1st set of components after a long history of using coaxials. Put them in an 08 impala. Had to do some minor adjustments to get the tweeter to fit the factory location in the A-pillar, but that only took a few extra minutes. Have them hooked up to a Pioneer GM-A3702 and they sound amazing. Was always partial to Inifinity speakers, but I prefer the tweeters on these as they are not overly harsh with the highs.

Great sound

The following review is for a previous version (SPS-610C).

Much better sound quality than other brands I've heard in this price range. If your going to amp these, as you should, be sure to crossover at 70 Hertz per specs. They will distort below 70 htz. Once again the sound quality is the best in this price range, and better than a lot of speakers in higher price ranges. Not very good directions on box, but pretty self explanatory.

These speakers sound really, really good. just make sure you have them crossed over around 70 hertz. they cant handle anything below that, even though they will try. When i first hooked them up to my amp i couldnt understand why they were distorting so bad, until i went and looked at the frequency response listed on sonicelectronix website. once i set my crossover they sound great, get really loud and have great sq.
