AlpineR-S65C.2 R-Series 6-1/2" Component Speaker System

I can't say enough about these. I bought them because they were being sold at a discount because the new r2 was released. The quality of this speaker see is phenomenal. The clarity is unmatched, it was great without an amp, and even better with one. Very cool looking, though nobody will ever see them. Size was perfect for what I needed, functionally perfect! Great bang for the buck!

I bought theses speakers for my work van and they rock. I suggest driving these speakers with an amp to get full sound.

Came in great shape, and on time. I can't believe how great these sound. I actully had one installed and it sounded better than all the old speakers in my car. Best speaker good price thank you!

I installed these in a 2001 Tacoma (front doors). They are not a direct replacement. Had to make some new mounting surfaces using half inch thick MDF boards. The sound is absolutely amazing! Set the crossovers to +3db setting which makes the sound really bright and really stand out. I can dial this back using the treble control on my receiver if desired. I have Alpine R series coax speakers in the rear doors and everything is driven by my Alpine CDA-7893 Receiver with the V-drive amplifiers (60 watts X 4) built in. Could not be more pleased with these speakers! I did not apply any sound deadening material to the doors and the sound is really great at highway speeds. Played some high quality R&B music thru these speakers and the bass is so strong and tight that I don't even need to add a subwoofer. Which is great because there is no place to put one in this truck. Try these, you will not be disappointed.

Perfect for a budget build but if your a bass guy and willing to spend more money then I would suggest to get a sub these speakers don’t have much bass but do sound good they are worth it

Installed on my 2016 WRX and sounds great. I’m running an ILX-W650 head unit without the amp and no issues. Plenty of bass for a component speaker but if you’re looking for really low bass definitely throw in a sub.Side note for other Subie/WRX owners:-will need additional speaker and tweeter brackets for perfect fit- order wire adapters to make life easier- will require some cutting of the plastic tweeter cover to fit nicely

Completely impressed with these speakers in my 2000 camaro SS. I've done a lot of car audio installs and on this car I didn't even need to break out the RTA gear. Tweeters are a bit hot so let them play for a few hours. I still ended up setting the tweeter crossovers -3db on both left and right front channels but was able to leave all equipment settings flat. Easiest install in terms of final setup I ever had. Looking forward to playing tunes again tomorrow.

Running 80 wpc amp. They sound amazing and bass response is better than expected. Highly recommended.
