Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

Alpine designed their Type-X REF Series component speakers to reproduce your music with the same accuracy and fidelity as speakers used in recording studios. You'll hear your music exactly as it was recorded — nothing more, nothing less.

The SPX-17REF component speaker system uses precision 6-3/4" woofers with sturdy cross-ribbed aluminum cones to deliver the bass, drums, and vocals with an impressive kick. Tough, synthetic rubber surrounds keep the cones under tight control, and the strong cast aluminum frames ensure uncoloured sound and long-term reliability. Alpine includes plates that allow you to mount these woofers in oval 5"x7" and 6"x8" speaker openings.

The 1" ring dome tweeters broadcast delicate high notes and overtones with extreme accuracy, bringing your music to life without a hint of shrillness. Alpine includes a mounting bridge that allows you to mount the tweeter directly to the woofer, so you won't have to cut any holes if your car has no factory tweeter location.

The external 2-way crossovers feature 4-level tweeter control, so you can dial in the right sound for your vehicle. Biamp connections allow you to amplify your tweeters and woofers separately, and tweeter protection circuitry guards against damage from overpowering.

Reviewer: joseph from new york, ny  
Great speakers.  I'm powering them from a Sony 820 IP receiver and they
sound great.  The bass is really tight and tweeters are smooth and can be
very loud.  I can't wait to hook them up to a 75 W amplifier.


 
Great sound quality with fairly neutral response a September 13, 2008
Reviewer: Todd from US  
Bought these speakers looking for neutral response across the frequency spectrum.  Although the mids lack a little mid-bass (marginal EQ adjustment required), the tweeters are exceptionally smooth and provide the right amound of detail with no distortion, even at moderate volume levels.  I am not one who likes exceptionally bright/harsh tweeters and these fit the bill nicely.  Although I've not tried the PRO series, if you're considering those, you might want to try these as well as a more cost-effective alternative.  I'm powering them at 75Wx2.

I did have one issue: the passive crossover module was "buzzing" considerably (crossovers mounted adjacent to speakers in vehicle doors).  Finally tracked it down to the tweeter protection bulb on the crossover vibrating against the crossover circuit board.  A strategically-placed piece of foam tape took care of the problem.
