they are awesome speakers, are you looking at just the speaker or the component set

 

i have:

Alpine Type R 6.5 components up front
Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxials in the back
powered by an Alpine PDX 4.100 amp


they sound great! really good speakers IMO. much better than the stock ones. now i'm planning on gettin an alpine type r 10" sub to finish it off.

 

Alpine Type R 6.5 components up front
Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxials in the back
powered by an Alpine PDX 4.100 amp

Same setup I have, no complaints AT ALL. Sounds amazing.

 

i have the Type-R components in the front as well, no complaints at all

 

The type Rs are really good speakers. I friend of mine swears by them. I don't really like the bass that they produce though. It could just be his box. He just throws his speakers in any box he likes. He doesn't look at air space or anything. If you have an amp to push them right, then they are good. Just DO NOT under power them. They don't seem to like it very much.

If you have any power problems go with a nice set of Fosgate P2s. The newer ones are really good and you can get them fairly cheap.

 

bjackson- this thread is about speakers, not subwoofers

 

my bad. i realized that after i posted. I have had some experience with alpine component speakers. They sound really clean and would personally recommend them. Sorry about that.

 

Have them. Components up front and coaxials in the back. You can't go wrong in my opinion.

 

Yea I was thinking about the comps in the front and coax in the back. Wheres the best place to mount the tweeter? Im also planning on 2 of the 10 woofers powerd by their 1000w amp. Id like to put them in the ext cab doors but thats a big project lol

no reason why that shouldnt work

 

i take it that you are an alpine person. if your looking for door speakers those are the ones to go with.

they put out a good sound but its a lil too much bass for me.

 

i just got the coaxles for the rear and i think they dont have enough bass lol. I am running them without an amp though

 

I just like to keep everything the same. I dont want to mix and match everything I was gonna do JL subs and amps then another kind of speaker but if alpine's as good as ive been reading ill just stick with them and see what happens.

 

yea alpine is legit i run 6.5 components front 6.0 co axel back w/ kenwood 1200w 5ch amp,only use 4 channels sep. amp for stealth box

 

hummm hell if all yall say there that good. i might go get me some one day too LOL!

 

I know this is an old thread but I need some help. I don't have much money but digging around in my closet I found some old Alpine Type R (SPR-17lp 2-ways). I have a stock head unit and just want to put these in for better sound quality. How do you think they will sound? What do I need to do to make these fit? Below are the specs. Thanks

2-way car speakers for 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" locations (pair)
multi-layer pulp woofer cone with rubber surround
1" silk dome tweeter
power handling: 2-50 watts RMS
frequency response: 35-30,000 Hz
sensitivity: 87 dB
peak power handling: 250 watts
mounting rings included for 6-1/2" applications
top-mount depth: 2-9/16"

 

ANYTHING sounds better then stock even duals

take old speakers and put type R's in :lol: no amp needed

 

ive got type-r components in my truck and they sound good on a 100w amp. but im takin them out soon to revamp the audio :shrug:

 

How did you mount them? Did you have to use spacers, brackets, etc?

 

yea mine have spacers, the tweeters are in swivel mount cut-out from the factory tweeter location.

 

How thick are your spacers?

 

umm.........1/2? the bottom of my door panel doesnt snap very well either, sometimes it pops loose when opening the door. that will get fixed when the panels get glass'd

 

I pulled the spacers off of the factory speakers and used those. Everything fits perfectly. Thanks for the help guys.
