These speakers are worth the extra money, Just make sure you have plenty of power to them or you are not going to have good results. Well made, sound clear and accurate. Also play very loud with good bass. I would highly recommend using Dynamate.

I read ALL good reviews on these, then bought two to replace OEM front
speakers, replaced one and hooked stereo back up to briefly compare the old vs. new and
I honestly didn't hear a significant difference, although I haven't installed my
amp yet.

ONE thing that I have not read ANYWHERE in online specs or reviews: On the INSIDE flap
of the box it reads :

WARNING: this product contains a high performance tweeter. If there is a
tweeter already installed in your car, then you must disconnect its terminals.
If you leave the original tweeter connected and connect this product in
parallel, then a fault may develop in this product, so you are strongly
recommended not to do so.

WTF? that is precisely what i had intended on doing, replacing my 5.25" with
alpines, and also upgrading the tweeter in my stock 6-speaker buick. Why is
this warning HIDDEN on the inside of the box and not on any sites?

any advice?

These mount low in the door, and the tweeter is up higher, so I don't want to eliminate the tweeters and have all my front sound coming from floor level.

(Bought from amazon.com for $88)

I ordered the Alpine SPR-13C 6.5 they are really well built and have a rich clean sound to them. I give them a 5 out of 5 since they serve my purpose for what i needed them to do, to supply clean sound in the front kick panels. But i've been reading reviews on how some people are saying they give good bass and i cant say i agree. While they are clean and responsive in the mids i would not buy these speakers solely for the intention of a good source of bass in your music.

Purchased these to round out my system. I previously had Sony Xplod 4 way speakers which, though they sounded clear, were a bit harsh and heavy on the high end. Personally I think a supertweeter is overkill. The Alpines, for 5.25s put out an amazing amount of sound and are much warmer than the Sonys. They were also easy to fit into the doors of my truck though I had to snip out some slots for the support brackets with tin snips. For reference, my rear speakers are Alpine SPS6C 6.5s. Both sets will handle the max volume from the head unit (Alpine CDA9883) with little or no distortion. I don't need richter scale bass response but I do like some solid bottom end and I think most users will be happiest with some sort of subwoofer. I have a powered Boss sub from Amazon which rounds the system out perfectly.

This is a great seller. Shipment was on time and item was as described.
They have very good prices. Very satisfied with my purchase! Thank you! =)

Great seller!!!! I order the Alpine SPC-13c a week before Christmas. When I finally had a chance to install it (someday in Feb.), it was completely the wrong size. My car insert was 6x8, and the speader was 5-1/4. Stupid crutchfield.com told me they will fit. Oh well, I contacted the seller. He said it was no problem, just send it back and he'll send me the right size. The speakers arrived less than 4 days. He kept in contact with me until the transaction was complete. Will definitely do business with seller again. Once again thanks for everything.
