Alpine SXE-1725S 80W 6.5" 2-Way Type-E Coaxial Speakers W/ Mylar-Titanium Tweeters,black

After replacing all 4 factory speakers in my 09 Sonata, these speakers sound fantastic. Much better than the original speakers. It took some time to install as the factory speakers were riveted in. Then the next issue was that these speakers needed a mounting adapter, so I ended up using a Dremel, cut out the old speakers from the enclosures and mounted these awesome speakers in them. What I found interesting was that these speakers did not come with a wire harness to connect to the speakers. At this price point I thought they would but fortunately, I had some connectors and attached them to the speaker so they can just be plugged in like the factory speakers. The Bass , midrange and high notes are clear. Makes up for not including a wire harness for them. I would purchase again if needed for my wife's car.

I must say, I was leery. I just bought a E320 Mercedes, and the Stereo had a little to be desired, I bought a Pioneer AVH-X2700BS and had a couple Pioneer amps laying around, so I put them in the car, and immediately blew out one of the Factory Harmon Kardon Speakers. I ordered these Alpine SXE-1725S's, and replaced all the HK's. The sound, running a dedicated (cheap) 4 channel Pioneer 400 Watt RMS Amp is excellent. No Bass through these like the HK's, but I didn't expect a 5" cone to produce any decent bass. Mids and Highs are crystal clear, much better than the stock HK's. I have had some very High-end systems, and this is not to be compared to those, this isn't competition grade, but for the price? They sound great. I am running the factory Sub off another amp, and it adds enough Bass to balance everything out perfectly. Great if you are on a budget like me and just want some good sound.

For the price, it's worth it. For my 2016 Ford Fusion, I did need to buy the wire harness because it has a connector. Ford factory speaker has a connector built into the speaker housing. The Alpine speaker doesn't fit in the hole on the door as it comes from box. You need a bracket which I didn't have. So I cut out the center of the old speaker, cut one end of the makeshift bracket so it could expand and grinded ot the inside ribs and tabs. Then i had to use screws to fasten the speaker to the inside of the modified bracket. Mounting it on the door hole, 2 screws lined up and the third on the door had to be screwed in at an angle with a hole I had to make with my drill but it worked and the speaker was mounted snugly. Takes some work but it can be done. Speaker sounds great.

These speakers are affordable and durable. They are great quality entry-level speakers and are priced appropriately. I got them for $22 dollars (CA taxed&shipped). Yes, that is pretty awesome. $22 dollars for a pair of Alpine speakers? That is a deal that is hard to beat, or pass up on. Anyways, I have an Alpine MRP-F300 amplifier powering four of these and they do sound amazing. They seem to take anything you throw at them (within their specs anyways). At high(max) volumes, they do not sound as nice as my high-end ($300+ a pair) MB Quarts, JL Audios, and Rockford Fosgates. BUT at low and medium volumes, they sound just about the same and I couldn't really tell the difference. Well, I thought the tweeters were just a little sharp compared to the high-end speakers, but some people actually like their tweeters sounding super-crisp and sharp( like my cousin lol). For an entry level speaker though, these speakers are unbelievably good. I am very impressed with these speakers and highly recommend them.

I put these in my doors on a 2000 Silverado as direct replacements. Mine were busted and these made a huge difference! The fit was good, they sound great. I bought the adapters for the connection to make it even easier.

I've got a 2003 Dodge Dakota and recently one of the original front door speakers died. To be fair, I don't expect a lot out of my truck's speakers. I mostly listen to podcasts and after 40 years of flying jets my hearing is shot anyway. That said, I'm not impressed with the bass response on the Alpine. Even compared with the remaining and still-functioning OEM speaker, the SXE bass is almost nonexistent. Although I'd planned to swap out the pair, now I'm going to only replace the failed OEM speaker and leave the other in hopes that it will last a while longer. Until then the remaining Alpine will go on the shelf.Installation was fairly straightforward using minor modifications to the existing mounts. I recommend a Metra harness or something similar to connect to the OEM wiring harness. The Alpines will be adequate for my use, but I wouldn't buy them again.

These speakers are good quality and easy to install in most vehicles. In 07 Canyon you have to disassemble the stock speakers to mount or drill new mounting holes. This the trucks fault NOT the speakers. I would recommend them good value for the money

When I was young, I use to install sound systems for fun as a nice side gig to help pay the bills. When I bought these, I knew Alpine had a good name, and I knew this series was a lower quality, more affordable series to their higher quality versions.Knowing that, I got what I expected. A sorta high quality speaker, but alpine can always do better if you can afford it. It is the same with any company. If you are looking for a sorta high quality speaker and this is the price range you want to spend, then buy these! If you have an extra $30, grab the higher quality series. You will be glad you did. If you are looking for bass, you gotta drop the tweeter in the center. Those kill bass.... SO that being said, if you want some bass, do not buy these, get a standard speaker. You will not miss the tweeters anyway, you likely have tweeters on some other speaker anyway.For budget speakers, these are good. But you can do much better when buying speakers. Stick with Alpine or other well know brands. If you want really high quality, you HAVE to pay for it. Their is no magic sounding speaker for this price.Audio:Highs: 8/10Mids: 6/10Lows: 3/10
