Alpine Type-E Series SXE-1750S Car Audio 6.5-Inch Component 2-Way Speakers

Bought these little dandies to replace the factory installed 6.5 component speakers in my 98 k1500 work truck (AKA: Xena Z-71 "The Warrior Chevrolet"). Installation was a snap. Being I'm an electrician I had at hand the butt splices necessary to reuse the factory connection so as to place the tweets in the spot designated for them, with the wires already ran for them. And, for ease of replacement if ever needed (I recommend popping into your local Home Depot and getting a few and a pair of stake-on pliers if you don't have em. <-$15 bucks maybe).I have recently installed some 6.5 Infinity speakers in my wife's Jeep, and as those rocked hard, I almost bought the equivalent Infinity component speakers for Xena. But, as I was about the click "add to cart" I saw these beauties in the bar that shows other products similar to the one you're viewing. So, seeings how the Alpines were roughly $25 cheaper and the review stars were about the same, I clicked on to read some of the reviews.After reading the reviews and comparing both ( and a pair of Kenwoods too) I went with my gut. As I don't like to skimp when it comes to my baby-girl Xena. And, being she has given me 300k+ miles of steady, loyal service with only a couple of minor "disagreements" between us, I was set to give her the Infinity set-up. The thing that clinched my decision was the shock and amazement the reviewers showed with their pair of Alpines for the price. I am truly amazed myself.I spend an inordinate amount of time in my girl Xena running from job site to job site. But, now, paired with the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT I bought last month, and a powered sub-woofer I built to fit under the back seat, my daily traverses shall be a bit more tolerable. I just hope everyone on I-20 and 285 like Jimi Hendrix or Howlin' Wolf as much as I do. If not now, they soon will.

Comes with everything I needed for my 2007 Chevy 1500 classic, base model. Factory speakers were muddy/ static at low volume levels, probably abused by previous owner, installed these, problem solved. Many other parts included for other configurations, Perfect fit for OEM replacement on my truck, minor wiring connector changes to use factory speaker leads required, no big deal. Great sound quality as always from Alpine. Stock stereo doesn't drive these speakers to thier full potential, I'm sure. Alpine decks and speakers for my OEM replacements/ upgrades all the way.P.S. : Do your research , ask somebody, whatever, don't get impatient with those door panels and break your hardware, if that snapped clip or fastener rattles or the panel is loose later you are probably gonna be sorry. And, Oh, Lord, hang on tight when driving those screws to secure the speakers, don't get crazy and puncture the surround. That sucks, trust me.OK, Amazon, your review is complete. Out of the 20 items I bought over the last 6 months, this is the only one I wrote about.Because I really like my tunes in my rigs. And if part of this helps just one other dude/ ette,....Peace

I installed these in another car before and they have been fantastic for the last year. I had put Kicker coax speakers in my other car previously as well. I should have known the Kickers were crap when 2 of them blew in a row, I had to get 2 replacement sets from Crutchfield. Now that they are out of warranty, a third Kicker is making its death rattle and it's time to replace them for good. I ordered a set of these and they sound fantastic. Way more crisp and detailed than those kickers. They aren't high level audio, but for the price, these components sound pretty good.The have decent bass for their size when they loosen up. Took my first pair about about 2 months before I noticed they weren't as tight, a year in they sound really good. The tweeters are clear but not overpowering and don't hiss. Overall a good well-rounded set for any car.They are thin as well, so if you have issues with deep speakers hitting the window, get these, they are shallower than most of the stock speakers I'm replacing.

Longevity: 5 stars.Sound quality: 3 stars.Bought these in Nov 2013 and they're still running strong in mid-2023. These are loaded in a 2000 Subaru Forester with the tweeters fitting in the door tweeter spots. An 8" SSL underseat powered sub rounded out the install. These are powered by a basic Kenwood head unit that's also over a decade old.Pros: they sound very clear to me. They take abuse well. I've blown the budget Rockford and JBL speakers within a few years in this and other vehicles.Cons: Sounds is too clear? Tweeters are a bit too powerful in the position they are in. They use a filter cap as a high pass filter. Next time I'd opt for a crossover with volume adjustment or use a power amp. I usually just roll the highs off in the head unit. Compared to the JBL 650 these have zero bass and with the windows down, they’re shrill.2023-11 update: Installed a Kenwood KACM1814 and set it up at half power. Not long after, the tweeters blew. Soundstage is super midrangey now. I'll be planning to drop in something different, likely JBLs.

I've used these speakers for about ten years across multiple cars...i always come back to them for the price mainly but b/c what you get for it is AMAZING if you enjoy hearing percussions, horns, guitars and vocals...these are made of pine, an organic material so they have to sort of learn to play music, its a former tree mind you...normally i have to change settings for first six months of listening as i hear the same song sound off as they break in...normally upping the power basically and evening out the equalizer settings as they break in...get some heavier rubber based woofers for bass or i normally have a separate sub channel to fully dial the sound in...
