I added these speakers as part of my complete nose to tail Alpine System in my 2001 WS6 Trans Am.
Alpine IDA-X305S Head unit, Alpine SPR-17S in the front doors, Alpine SPG-17C2 in the back seat area, Alpine SWR1043D Sub and originally Alpine PDX-5 - Amplifier - 4-channel plus Mono-power.


The SPR-17s sound amazing, very nice clean highs and good mid bass. The SPG-17C2 are great for rear fill and sound quality as well. I was a bit disappointed on my bass.. most songs the 1043 Did not show up.. Installer said the 320 out was not enough for a highend heavy duty sub like the 1043, I then ordered and installed along with the other amp a Alpine PDX1600 to drive my Sub..... and WOW did it wake the system up!

I now have amazing clear highs, nice punchy Mid bass and very clean and clear low bass..
awesome sound system, only thing I would have done different now, is get a 4Ch 100 or 150 amp to go with the mono 600 for my sub. I now have 75w 4Ch with an un-used 320 mono... it is not worth selling and changing it out to get an other 25W per Ch. So learn from my build, but I will say again... AMAZING sound, loud and crystal clear.
If you are a Audiophile, you will be very pleased with these parts.

I am a Very happy Camper.

Great purchase my first purchase for my car and i would not have made a better choice. the product is great and i am very satisfied with it, i dont have an amp or subs, but this still hits hard enough to make my rear view mirror shake and has a very good sound. I am very satisfied with the product.

I purchased these speakers as direct replacements for the factory component speakers in my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. Installation was straight-forward with no undue modifications. Night and day difference between factory speakers and the Alpines. I kept the factory radio but I did add the Alpine PDX 5 which is an excellent amp which I was able to mount in stealth location. I replaced the rear speakers with the Alpine coax version of this speaker. I also installed the Alpine SWS-1223D, (single) with a custom box from Subthump. The sound is AWESOME!

I just installed these earlier today, and wow, was the sound so clear. I was accustomed to the stock speakers for awhile, but, when I heard these first hand connected to a 4 channel 400 watt amp, I was amazed on the clarity, the loudness, and the warm, bright sound. I cant wait to match these mids/highs to the 12 Type-R sub(s). You will definitely be wanting bass after listening to these without a sub/amp combo, since the crossovers take away the bass notes, although there is punchy mid-bass.

I was making a market research all over the internet about this type of products for a couple weeks before i buy it, to be specific Car Speaker System. i found a great variety of brands and prices. I started to compare them about the RMS, the watt Peak power and a couple other things, definitively the Alpine was the one that called my attention more than other brands, because of the price, the people reviews from different places around the world. All i can say is that the sound is Great, couldnt ask more quality for the amount of money that i spent. It is an excellent product.

Great sound quality- all factory speakers replace with these- great sound from highs to mids to some lows- kept the crossover at 0db and it sounds great - install was a little time intensive but got it done right- great souds

WOW! Great sound, really clear, great fidelity, you can listen sounds you wont with the stock ones. Its a great difference compared to the stock. I personally use them with a 45 wattt Alpine amplifier so I recommend to use this set with an amplifier if you really want to get the sound this set can produce.

Really great cost value for this speaker set.

even with out subwoofers they make a the rearview mirrors rattle.
And you cant beat the highs either.
sound great in any car.
try with an alpine head unit and type r subs, and youve got one of the best systems out there
