Great sound. Obviously, it's tough for a 6.5" to match what you can get from a 6x9" in terms of deep sound or bass, but you've got to work with what fits in your car. Depending on the kind of bass, though, you will find yourself pleasantly surprised at how great the 610s and 610Cs sound. Put the 610s in the back dash of my 2010 Civic EX-L and the SPS-610C in the front.
The 610s are great, no complaints.
Word of warning about the 610Cs, though, if you're doing a total speaker replacement like I did. The tweeter components are so much louder than stock ones that if you have any factory amp that boosts the tweeters they will scream so loudly they will completely throw your sound quality out of whack. I ended up putting my stock tweeters back in and everything sounds wonderful now.
Sonic Electronix had the best price I could find and the speakers arrived within a few days.

PEI is an acronym for "Polyetherimide" which is an amorphous, amber transparent, high-performance thermoplastic.
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

For those who have Chevrolet Trailblazer 2003 this are the speaker you need fro your ride, to be more in detail the speaker have many holes configurations and even come with a sturdy strong bracket mount and comes with cables not so long but enough length, the rear woofer were easy too install I recommended to cut the plug wire because will make no sense to keep the original factory wire plug, I myself like to solder the wire and the use a plastic clamp cup to protect the wire, also make sure your wire speaker have the correct polarity before soldering, what I did I went online and found the color code for the rear speakers, the front speakers is another story the wires are red and black there is factory tweeter installed and good guys from GM place the nice red and wire simple cable that make my job easier, to be more in detail for those who own Chevrolet Trailblazer 2003 in my case, the front plastic bracket the speaker will not fit correctly but with some modification I took out some material from the bracket and now they fit really nice, another solution is that you can purchase the bracket that fits all aftermarket speakers for your Chevrolet Trailblazer.
I did some sound test with all speakers and respond really well bass is good and high frequencies I just turn the volume in 24 on my Sony double din and is nice really nice I do not go to expert comment because is not necessary lol
what surprise me is that the basket is made of plastic and that give another advantage, here in Puerto Rico the weather is humid so that helps I guess lol the old speakers were rusted on the frame lol
by the way one more thing, the quality of the construction is really well made
I hope this help someone :D

These are great speakers for the money. Sound great for me as rear fill. I was skeptical at first but after dropping them in the rear deck of the honda, and giving them 50 watts rms I was sold. I would definitely recommend these.

These speakers are so much better than the crappy stock ones that Toyota put in my vehicle. Sound is much more clear, and I actually have some bass now. They were so easy to install too. I have a 2006 Toyota Porte and it has made my drive time to and from work much more enjoyable.

Listened to several speakers at Car Toys. These had the best overall performance under $100/speaker. I paired four (two front, two back) in a 2014 Subaru CrossTrek with an Alpine Amplifier and a JL Audio 8" Subwoofer. The acoustics are spectacular, even without separate tweeters. I know many of the Focal Brand speakers have far greater definition, but I'm happy with these. Just to note, the Subaru factory speakers are not terrible. They even produce some base when played very loud. They were plastic cones rated up to 40W each. The SPS-610s are each rated for 80W and I play the subwoofer at about 25%. My advice - get a 5-channel amp that can support one or two subs on a mono channel.

Very nice for highs and mid highs. Can't play much lower than a snare drum though. I would recommend getting some midbass components to go with these if you have the mounting space/ fab skills. If I could do it over I would have done a 6.5 woofer and a separate tweeter component setup. You get much more depth that way.

I have these installed in the back doors of my 08 Tacoma, and they are great. The install fit kit is a little disappointing because the mounting brackets that came with the Alpines had to be "adjusted" = cut to fit and they are a little to thick for the door panel to fit flush without alteration. But as far as sound goes, they are awesome.

Installed this speakers as rear door speakers on 2008 Acura TSX. Fits and sounds great. They sound very clear compared to the factory speakers. This is a good step up from the factory speakers without the need to install an amp.

The difference between having to have the stock speakers turned all the way up to hear my music clearly with the windows rolled down and then being unwilling to turn my volume over 70% without risking ear drum damage! Great clarity, easy install and great product for the price.
