Disappointing. For a big name (Alpine), I was expecting more. I have a
2005 Dodge 1500 Club Cab. I put these in my front doors to replace the
stock speakers and all but lost my bass. I have Kicker tweeters mounted
in the top of the dash that bounce off the windshield and stock speakers in
the rear. I do hear highs I'd not heard before, but the lack of bass for a 6"
X 9" now has me in the market for a sub.

Just finished installing these in my Jeep and I have to say, I am beyond
pleased. I didn't want to blow all my money on a component system so I
just replaced the head unit from factory CD player to Kenwood KDC-MP338
and from factory (non-Infinity) 6 x 9's to these speakers.
As soon as you get them out of the box and compare to the factory
speakers, you can tell they mean business by their weight alone--and the
magnets are strong enough to hold Iron Man in check :)
What a difference, now I can hear lows that I never knew were there. I
listen to mostly Old School Rap, Techno, Trance, and Drum & Bass.
Needless to say, a lot of very bass-heavy music. My wife didn't want to
sacrifice cargo space for a subwoofer, but I'll tell you that I don't believe I
need one, the lows are perfectly acceptable in-vehicle. The highs are really
crisp, in fact I had to turn the trebble way down, but it you are trying to
upgrade your situation and can't spend $1000 on a new system, give these
speakers and a nice new HU a try. I recommend using some Dynamat if
you're going to place in doors like I did, it really helps with sound
dampening.
The hardest part of the install was cutting the factory speaker harness and
soldering on the wires, which should be no big deal for your average joe
anyways. Other than that, they went right in to my front doors and I am
very pleased...

Put these in the rear deck of my 2006 Honda Accord with factory radio after
going through 2 different pairs of Pioneer 6x9's. WOW, what a difference.
The pioneer's were good. Alpine's are great. These sound great even with
factory head unit. The bass hits so hard I get some rattling in my trunk.
Putting some foam material down inbetween the speaker and the metal of
the rear deck solved that up quick. Great buy. I always tell people not to
go cheap when it comes to speakers. I am soon to amp them up.
Crutchfiled was great as always with the returns of the Pioneers.

Wow! These speakers sound amazing in the back of my 2004 Nissan Xterra. Fits perfectly in the factory holes. I had no prior experience with installing speakers. This installation was flawless.
Pumps pretty good bass. Could be better, but I'm running it off the internal amp for the head unit(Alpine IVA-W205).

Wow! Just got these babies hooked up and they are fantastic. They are a *perfect* fill speaker for anyone looking for 6x9's in the back seat. I have a
pair of them running at 80w RMS apiece in my Honda Civic coupe. The silk dome tweeter provides just enough fill to highs and mids without adding to
the brightness of the Pioneer 4-way 6.5's in my doors. And as far as the bass goes, Greg from Crutchfield chat was right - Alpine is conservative
with their range figures. They are listed at 60Hz on the low end which is surprising since the bass is soooo strong and deep, perfect for rock music.
To fill the absolute bottom, get a sub. But, you won't find a better bass-oriented 6x9 for the money. Period. Get them!
