I have these installed in my 1998 Honda Civic coupe. I have an Alpine head unit and an Alpine MRP F300 amp that sends 50 watts RMS to these speakers which I have installed in the front doors. I don't have a sub-woofer so these and a pair of Alpine SPR 69C 6x9's make up my car audio system. I've had Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate components in other vehicles and I am very pleased with these for the price. I purchased them at Dealer Cost Car Audio dot com, with no tax and free shipping for $176, there was also a $20 coupon online which made the price great. With components like these the high's and mid's are perfect. My car is older and its a Honda so the road noise is pretty loud at 70 MPH, these help me forget about the road noise during my commute. If you think component speakers like these will add solid low end bass, you are wrong. The low end sound is good but not near sub-woofer good, if you want booming base get a sub. I rock out with hard rock and get G'd up from the feet up with hip hop and these speakers perform better than I expected. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a quality pair of component speakers who enjoy listening to any song's full dynamic range. There are cheaper speaker out there, but in my opinion Alpine's quality is awesome and these are worth the price.

My brother has the Type R components and I have the Type X and I must say that for the small price difference, the Type X are well worth it. They are easier to drive and the tweeters are so much better.

I bought two sets of these last month. I am really happy with these components. I'm running both sets in 2004 Yukon. Clear as all outdoors! These really hit. The R type components actually hit harder, but the clarity on these stand out. Buy these speakers. I am saving the 5 star rating after I test out the Focal highs in my other car.
