I can't thank you enough for this review. Because I also had the same skar TX speakers and just like you I have been look at those alpines. You helped me so damn much!! Thank you sir
I had the Alpine S series myself. I loved them. Great sound quality. And I thought was the sound I was looking for too. But then I came across Legatia SE8 and tweeters. And dam bro. Now angels playing in my car. Although they ain't cheap.
Did you need to buy additional adapter rings for the speaker installation or did you just use the ones that came out of the box? What do you say nowadays about them? Do they keep working 2 years later? Great video.
The speaker rings made them stick out too much for the covers in the door panel. I just lined everything with sound deadener and drilled holes through the sound deadener where the factor hose work. Your application may be different and you may need to use the rings but they did not work for me. As of today I am still using them and they still sound great.
Do you think these would sound ok with an aftermarket Sony headunit? I don't have an external amp, just looking to replace some old factory GM speakers in my 2004 Sierra with something decent. Ended up getting them for $70.
hey i’m looking to replace my stock speakers with some speakers with good bass, would these be good or would u recommend different ones ? i will get an amp as well
I am just thinking to buy 4 door speakers only (2 pairs)....I don't want a bass & loud music in the car....I just want the sound to be clear and soothing even the volume is high........which speakers do you recommend?
I had just gotten these installed and they sound no different then my stock speakers I wanted something loud and clear, if I add an amp do you think that’ll do the trick?
He'll great video I have a question I thinking about buying a 2009 honda accord coupe wit the premium sound system I already know that these systems sound like crap so they do come with a factory amp I found on line a up grade amp it's just plug and play and is suppose to be twice the power of the factory amp so I want to upgrade the speakers and I like you opinion on the s 65 alpine speakers do you think these would sound good with a plug and play ampsorry don't remember the specs on the new amp but it's for honda specifically upgrade and it said twice the power over stock ampnthanks brother I just would like your professional opinion
It is possible. You would just have to make sure the specs of the amp align with the speakers. Aa lot of factory amps don't necessarily have the power as advertised.
@@madlion8435 it's not the factory amp I would be using it's a upgraded aftermarket plug and play amp thanks for getting back to me with twice the power of factory amp I just wanted you to know all the facts thanks again would app your opinion i know you don't know the specs on the amp but I think the after market plug and play amp upgrade should make these alpine s s65 sound better what do you think
@@madlion8435 thanks you sir for your opinion know all I have to do is find the right car to buy Honda factory stereo suck most of them I think si civic has a Bose 12 speakers system just want to tell you I have a 2014 q60 coupe with a 11 speaker Bose system in with big 8 or 10 in woofers in the doors in is a kicks ass factory radio system from the factory if you have never heard one if you get the chance you have to listen to one now the 4door may not sound as good as a 2dr coupe which is what I have oh my god
I use four of these in my Hummer and I have two 12s in the back and they sound excellent. As long as you have an amp to push them good clean power they will sound amazing.
I'm currently having an issue with my 4 S-S69s. I have the pioneer deh-4900bt as the headunit, and alpine ktp445u as amp. Even before the installation of the amp (it was professionally installed) I was getting sibilance. I'm not sure what to do about it. It does happen with a lot of songs. The songs the speakers handle well, really handle well 😆 sounds amazing. I'd just like to be able to throw any song at them though, and it sound good.
I would start by making sure the amp is properly tuned. Sometimes installers will perform the install, but not tune the amp to the speakers. I would also make sure the ohms match.
What would these sound like just connected to a 50W per channel head unit ? Alpine SXE-1725S Car Stereo 17CM 6.5" Inch 440 Watts 2 Way Door Coaxial Speakers
The 50w from a head unit will not be enough clean power to maximize these speakers true potential. Will they sound decent? Yes. But, not as good as an external amp.
In my opinion the S65 is good enough unless you just want to spend the extra money for the component setup. Adding a 4 channel amp would definitely sound better than just using the head unit.
I broke mine in in about a week's time. With roughly 3-4 hours per day. I never could find anything specifically on their site to advise of a break-in period. But, after about a week you could tell that the sound was really being reproduced properly after the coils had a chance to loosen up.
I’m loving them so far, they sound amazing paired with my subs. I have a question though, they’re loud and clear without an amp, I know I can get them louder with an amp but which one should I get? I’ll probably be getting the amp in the near future since I’m satisfied for now. Thank you
I think it all depends on your setup and what you're looking for. I was looking for a better overall quality and sound. But, to me these have more bass than the Skars.
@@madlion8435 Yeah same, I dont think I like the highs from the TX65, I guess they just seemed bassier in the videos In person, you feel the Type S coaxials have more bass?
@@logandeleon5808 you probably need to add an amp. Even though these are small speakers, your head unit is more than likely not providing enough power. Most stock head units do not have enough power to feed aftermarket speakers.
Bro I love them. I know they are much more expensive speakers out there that would probably sound better maybe. But for the value you cannot beat the sound of these.
@@madlion8435 thats perfect. Im not looking for anything crazy, just something that sounds better than the shit stereo the previous owner installed in my hoopty. Im happy with the price point on these, and they sound pretty good in the video. Im looking forward to installing this weekend
@@madlion8435 very happy with these speakers. Crisp audio paired with kta-450 amp, just what i was looking for. Installed everything over the weekend, gave it a few days before responding.
I haven't heard them, but I will say this. The in person sound quality on these are amazing. I just wish I could have played some really good songs, but I would get copyright hits.
I've never installed speakers before and I bought the alpine s-65c I also have a alpine mrx55 amp. I'm no pro but I've never seen hook ups like are at the end of these speakers amd tweaters. I'm connecting the tweeters to the speaker cause I have a 5 channel amp I just don't know how to connect these gold wires .sorry for being such an amature.
You can buy speakers connectors and crimp the wires to the connectors then connect them to the speakers. I would advise using some sort of sleeve to protect the crimped part.
I think they will do a decent job. My only concern is the lack of clean power from not using an amp. Definitely an improvement over factory. Hope this helps.
@@Comegetback I used the Kicker 44KXA800.5. It Powers my door speakers and my sub. I did not want multiple amplifiers and plus it comes with a wireless gain controller.
Definitely snatch the Bose out. I did and never looked back. Bose are so overrated. They will do for the average ear to have a decent sound system in a car or truck. But, when you want a true sound stage those entry level paper bose that they put in cars will not produce or reproduce the same sound as aftermarket speakers.
@@madlion8435 By the way, what do you think about the subwoofer? I want to change the sub, I think to put some kind of sub brand alpine, priority for club music.
I just bought these speaker and the worker told me I can’t use my 500w alpine mono amp to run these and if I did I’d blow my speaker and I would have to buy a 4 channel amp is this true or false ?
Technically you could run them, but chances are you'd blow them in no time. I'd have to agree with them. It would be best to go with a 4 channel amp to run these.
I don't think this is a fair comparison between the two speakers. You're talking about one speaker that is below $100 and another pair that is worth several hundred dollars. And by answering which is better several things come to mind. What sound are you trying to achieve or you looking for max volume or you looking for a mid base there are several things that you can factor in to determine which is a better speaker.
They produce good solid bass for their size. It's not going to be overwhelming, but you'll be able to hear the bass notes in the songs. It has a nice, clean rich sound.

Bought these and unfortunately am not too happy. I've got a small old school infinti and I swear those stock bose speakers bass was way harder hitting. Going to have to add a subwoofer just to be satisfied. The highs are nice but the mid and low are kind of weak makes me want more. 😕

@@madlion8435 thanks a lot for a reply boss, I appreciate it very much 🙏 if the other amp doesn't work I'm going to have to add a subwoofer and amp for the bass but I really don't want to do that I just wish they could just bump because as of now they don't really bump at all. Like a couple years ago my cars stock system bumped and would make the mirror move. I was hoping this would do the same especially since these have way newer tech compared to the stock paper cone bose speakers.
@@royaltrunks8003 that's your sound issue. You cannot use the stock amp with the speakers. No matter how good they sound with the Bose speakers they are not designed to push these speakers. Hence your poor quality and base. Trust me I know I had a Bose app before I got my aftermarket kicker amp on the speakers. The Bose app does not push enough clean power to the speakers.
@@madlion8435 i bought the alpine's today and fitted them in my car with a 4 channel orion amplifier, they sound pretty good.. shame that they don't come with speaker grills tho
@@madlion8435 don’t know too much which is why I’m asking a broad question, is the bass loud on these? I was playing this on my phone so I wouldn’t know
Honest feedback these are not great for a factory drop in but if you get the right amp and set it up the right way they sound good but as he said you might hunger for a little bit more If you’re looking for a cheap way just get some meds and hot as you can always put a cap on the speaker and block the bass to an extent but this video is more focused on the boom side of things can’t say enough about scar product for the bang for your buck your neighbors are gonna fucking hate you but thanks for the review and I’ll be subscribe and keep it up remember set your amp and leave the adjustments alone find the max game don’t turn it up when your boy gets in the passenger seat set it and forget it great review dude thanks
Bought the alpine speakers, installed today. I’m so pissed I picked them. They sound utterly atrocious. Edit: the amp is probably not tuned right. Edit 2: these speakers are good when the amp is tuned properly 💪

Thanks for the video very informative. Do you recommend Alpine over Kenwood?
I think they are pretty comparable. If I had to choose I would choose Alpine.
Good video, thanks! Ahh.. for front speakers which components do you recommend? I bought gto609c but havent tried them yet.
Honestly in this price range there are a lot of nice choices. JBL's are dope, but if you have a chance listen to the Alpine S-S65C
You'll more than likely get better highs with the JBL, although the Type S will probably have better clarity

hi, do u know if there will be a big difference between power from head unit alpine UTE201BT or an amp?

@@madlion8435 appreciate your reply, if one has a budget if over 300$ which one would be the best as theres so much info out there common ppl like us cant make out the difference, you are an expert, kindly reply
@@madlion8435 whats ur top pick in 200+$ range?
@@vway555 that will all depend on the size speaker you're looking for
@@madlion8435 same as this alpine size
Cooking Good That Speakers Sound Good , Thanks 🔥👌💯💪
Thank you and you're welcome.
S65 vs rs65 . I want to do the s In the back and I’m debating the r in the front
Solid choice. If you're not pushishing them to their limits I wouldn't spend the extra money on the R. The S series have great sound.
@@madlion8435 so far I’m going to run no amp, they are going on my Silverado so I’m replacing the crappy paper speakers. It’s just 130 vs 300 with tweeter and all so idk if it’s worth it
Great job!
Thank you!
Just orders some alpines thank for the video
Hoping for clean excellent voice and good bass
Was debating between the jbl and alpine went with alpine
Bought these and unfortunately am not too happy. I've got a small old school infinti and I swear those stock bose speakers bass was way harder hitting. Going to have to add a subwoofer just to be satisfied. The highs are nice but the mid and low are kind of weak makes me want more. 😕
Are you running an external amp or using the stock amp?
@@madlion8435 stock amp, but aftermarket headunit(Sony XAVAX3250 with android and Apple carplay) I have a 2002 infinti g20. I don't know the specs of the stock amp but I know my car-stock has 100 watt system and I know for a fact I can swap out the amp (plug n play)with multiple different other infiniti's that have a 200 watt system. So I'm going to swap it with a 2001 infinti i30 amp on eBay that has the 200 watt system. That should make a difference, right?
@@madlion8435 thanks a lot for a reply boss, I appreciate it very much 🙏 if the other amp doesn't work I'm going to have to add a subwoofer and amp for the bass but I really don't want to do that I just wish they could just bump because as of now they don't really bump at all. Like a couple years ago my cars stock system bumped and would make the mirror move. I was hoping this would do the same especially since these have way newer tech compared to the stock paper cone bose speakers.
@@royaltrunks8003 that's your sound issue. You cannot use the stock amp with the speakers. No matter how good they sound with the Bose speakers they are not designed to push these speakers. Hence your poor quality and base. Trust me I know I had a Bose app before I got my aftermarket kicker amp on the speakers. The Bose app does not push enough clean power to the speakers.
@@madlion8435 would the more powerful boae amp make a difference? Like a big difference? Or what would I have to do?
i'm gonna buy a pair
You won't be disappointed.
@@madlion8435 i bought the alpine's today and fitted them in my car with a 4 channel orion amplifier, they sound pretty good.. shame that they don't come with speaker grills tho
they only go down to 70Hz
For that, I'd get something else. JBL on the cheap or some Hertz or Kickers that handle more power.
Anything skared I wouldn't want .. just saying fosgate and kicker are the only speakers made I thought
😎👍
Of coarse they sound better than skar.... skar isn't about quality sound.
Alpine update?
Still blasting them. No issues. I haven't even considered replacing them. The soundstage is great.
@@madlion8435 don’t know too much which is why I’m asking a broad question, is the bass loud on these? I was playing this on my phone so I wouldn’t know
@@madlion8435 I plan on buying these if you say the bass on these are a step up from other speakers
@@bottomtext5473 mid bass is very good. Will you be pushing them with an amp?
Focal , Hertz , Infinity , JBL make the Best car speakers
Well we're talkin" bout Alpine here..
Bet I’m sold
Honest feedback these are not great for a factory drop in but if you get the right amp and set it up the right way they sound good but as he said you might hunger for a little bit more If you’re looking for a cheap way just get some meds and hot as you can always put a cap on the speaker and block the bass to an extent but this video is more focused on the boom side of things can’t say enough about scar product for the bang for your buck your neighbors are gonna fucking hate you but thanks for the review and I’ll be subscribe and keep it up remember set your amp and leave the adjustments alone find the max game don’t turn it up when your boy gets in the passenger seat set it and forget it great review dude thanks
Thanks bro. I appreciate your feedback. Real and honest 💯
Why do my alpines sound like shit when it hits bass
Are you speaking in general or specifically about these? Because, I'm not having that same experience with these.
@@madlion8435 specifically about these… my boss speakers on my other truck that are cheaper sound 10x better!
@@madlion8435 the bass is also good as-well, doesn’t rattle
Bought the alpine speakers, installed today. I’m so pissed I picked them. They sound utterly atrocious.
Edit: the amp is probably not tuned right.
Edit 2: these speakers are good when the amp is tuned properly 💪
They are the coldest, steel like high end ear damage bullshit. Not a warm sound on any frequency. So pissed
@@danw7864 are you using an amp?
@@madlion8435 I am yeah
@@madlion8435 there is wayyyy less fullness than my cars original dimension factory system.
@@danw7864 honestly not sure why, or what could cause it. In the Hummer they sound amazing with my amp.
"i'm with whoever got the better speakers. speak up. these drugs make it hard to listen. re-up.
i do my best to show you love from a distance n if i didn't u prob wasn't worth my attention."
