Recently installed a pair of these in a '04 Ford Mustang in the rear deck, and already I'm hearing a considerable difference from the factory speakers that were previously there. Installation of the speakers themselves was a breeze, the only "hard part" of doing this was getting the rear deck exposed and sealed back up.
Great bang for its buck, I would undoubtedly buy it again given the chance.

I just installed these in my '02 Mazda Protege5 and to put it bluntly, the
factory speakers sound better. I'm a 30 year old bassist of 14 years and
work part time in a recording studio so I know good sound. I had high
hopes for Alpine because they are my favorite brand but these speakers
left much to be desired. The lows would break up and distort, the mids
were okay and the highs are too bright. I'm running all the speakers from
my Alpine CDA-9886 and turned the bass all the way up and the treble
down 2 notches to get a good overall sound from them. Plus my passenger
side door rattles now. As much trouble as it is to remove the door panel
and replace the speakers, it's the first thing I'll do in the morning. I can't
recomend other speakers as these are the first pair I bought but I plan on
returning them.
However the Crutchfield service and install directions were great.

Ordered a pair of the Alpine SPR-57C and all I say is they are INSANE they
sound great the sound stage is 100% covered, and very accurate.
Installed them in a 2006 mustang gt with out any problems. INFINITY don't
stand a chance at all compared to the Alpine SPR-57C
Best sounding 6x8 mid range driver to date, I have been in car audio for
years

Installed these alpines in 2003 f-150 extended cab , front , already have a pair in back , the difference from the factory speakers is phenominal , great highs and good sharp bass , I have all four speakers running off an alpine cda 9885 and an alpine pdx 4-100 amp , the clarity is fantastic , could blow my eardrums out if I turned the volume all the way up.

WOW! I just recieved two pair of these to replace my Type S 5X7's, My system needed help w/MidBass to fill in the 10" Type R Sub and these Speakers did the Job well. I started by using them with the Alpine F250 40 watts RMSx4 Amp they had great Bass Response and good Volume. I also ordered the Alpine F550 Amp 90 watts RMSx4 as the their power source WOW ! the Volume, Bass, Highs Huge difference from Type S 5X7's. I have a new problem now the Bass output is so powerfull that my 2003 Merc. Grand Marquise Door panels rattle badly.. so until I fix that I keep them dialed back. I tried them with the Sub off and I was very impressed at the huge Sound from these speakers, these dont sound like 5x7's. The Type S 5X7's just couldn't keep up at high volume while the Type R 5x7's intise you to keep going loader especially with 90 Watts RMS. Another improvement was the Tweeter, also can handle much higher volume levels than a Type S Speaker. Dont let the HUGE magnet scare you about installation depth Alpine kept this dimmension almost equal to the Type S Speaker, I had no clearence issues in the Front Doors or Rear deck of a 2003 Grand Marquise.
Pros:
Big Sound (more watts more volume)
Drop-in fit with Factory locations
Ridged Woofer produces Great Bass
Incredible Volume levels w/High Watts
Cons:
Door panels will rattle
Side Note:
I also added a Tsunami Lite Wave 2.0-farad Capacitor to my system. This ended the Headlight dimming and increased Sub output. I am sure all vehicle electronics will benifit from stable voltage supply.
