About the Alpine SPS-517
Top-tier upgrade
Top-tier upgrade
The sonic specialists at Alpine optimize their SPS-517 5"x7" speakers for great range and impressive tone definition, even at low power levels. You can connect these versatile Type-S Series speakers to your factory stereo for an immediate sonic improvement, or hook them up to a powerful aftermarket stereo or amp for increased performance.
Mineral-fortified polypropylene cones are exceptionally stiff, yet lightweight, which means they can push out accurate bass and deliver clear midrange. Resilient rubber surrounds help keep the woofer centered for accurate cone movement, reducing distortion. Silk dome tweeters provide warm high notes that bring out the character of the instruments and vocals.
Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications.

These speakers are aesthetically pleasing to look at, even though mine went behind covers. I also think these speakers put out a very crisp clear sound. They were easy to install and fit in my 2006 F150 easily.
