Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the Alpine SPS-17C2 by Ken Nail Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Alpine's Type-S speakers combine outstanding materials and construction with an attractive price. Their efficient design provides powerful sound even when system power is low yet beefy internal parts ensure they can handle it when you crank the volume. But powerful output doesn't count for much if you don't like what you're hearing.

Aluminum adds strength and heat resistance to polypropylene, resulting in reduced distortion and improved reliability.

Silk Dome Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 1" silk dome tweeter for smooth high frequencies. The tweeters are adjustable and will pivot approximately 15° to optimize imaging. Mounting Rings: Without any adapter, the speakers fit a standard 6-3/4" opening. The supplied adapter rings allow the speakers to be installed in a standard 6-1/2" opening, a 4-hole Ford 6-1/2" opening, or an oversized GM/Chrysler 6-3/4" opening.

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. Well, I spent a total of 20 minutes putting in both speakers. The sound quality is phenomenal. No, they don't sound like 10" subs, but I am not disappointed in them. For such a small speaker, they are very nice. I am pleasantly impressed. I would buy them for the rear deck, but the tweeters stick up too high, and would hit the cover. Not worth the modifications, although very feasible to be done.

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. These speakers were used in my first ever stereo installation project. The speakers are awsome. They just blow away the factory speakers. They sounded so good, I decided to also replace the HU with a Pioneer DEH- P7000BT so that I could play MP3 files and HD radio. The new HU really made a great improvement in the sound of these speakers. I only had a couple of installation questions that the service folks at Crutchfield were able to immediately answer. Installation went well for a first-timer. Instructions were complete and clear. The success of this project has led me to decide to replace the speakers and probably the HU in my wife's Civic. If you have never done an install before, don't shy away from the task. You can do it easily with the supplied instructions and kits provided by Crutchfield. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. When I be rollin hard down Whittier Blvd. trolling, bumpin George Clinton with these fine Alpizzines, everybody be gawkin. The speakers are a huge improvement to the stock stereo. The highs are crisp and clear. And to my suprise the bass has an excellent amount of bump for such a small full range speaker. It's a huge improvement for a small price. Listening to music, clean, clear and undistorted, is much more enjoyable now. Installation was easy. They fit into the factory locations like a glove. Also with the adaptors provided by Crutchfield installation time was short. If you want your whip to sound like it's the bomb, get these Alpizzine SPS-17C2s!

Okay, so I've had these for about a month. Immediately, with only the head unit, these were an enormous improvement over my Sony X-plods that I removed. I backed them with Dynamat to get the most out of them. But at the same time, I purchaged a Rockford Fosgate P400-4 amp that matched the rms. After one month of running on the head unit (which is only about 16 or 18 watts rms) I just had the amp installed today. WOW!!! They are now runnig at their full 50 watts rms. My ears hurt!!! These are the best speakers I have found in this price range. And believe me, I shopped around A LOT. I played all kinds of music from them today on my 1 and 1/2 hour drive home from the amp install; Breaking Benjamin, Tricky, Tool, Sublime, Filter, even Buddy Guy. These hold up well with heavy rock when they are being flooded with lows, mids and highs at the same time. And for the first time I could listen to Tricky loud and still hear it clearly. I am totally amazed... 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Our take on the Alpine SPS-17C2 by Ken Nail Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Alpine's Type-S speakers combine outstanding materials and construction with an attractive price. Their efficient design provides powerful sound even when system power is low yet beefy internal parts ensure they can handle it when you crank the volume.
