Sound was good until they blew

These components sound great when powered properly. The tweets deliver crisp detail. Mids lack bass but hey that's what subs are for. Looks are overall good. Only bad thing is they blew after only about a couple months worth of use

Alpine Type X

I didn't like the sound and the quality compared to the MB Quarts they sound flat and didn't last long.

Sound Great

These sound Awesome! I have them installed in the front doors of my GMC crew cab along with a Alpine Head Unit and two RE 10's. They have very little bass response but thats fine for me with my 10's. Highs and mids are very clear with 75 watts going to them.

My only complaint is the tweeter mounting...It took up the most of my install time, what comes in the box is almost useless. These are not for the novice installer be prepared to fab a bit.

Very nice

Great sound from these component speakers. I put them in my GMC Sierra along with a pair of SPR-13C speakers in the back and 2 Pioneer low profile subs. Sound is awesome but I used a 600W Alpine amp to drive these speakers and blew one of the tweets. I like it loud and clear, not noisy. Definitely clear. Great recordings sound great. Bad sound really bad. They are a great deal if you're from Canada like me (triple the cost here) so I totally love them for the price.

Excellent Quality Sound

Super happy with these Type Xs. An upgrade for me from the Type S. Pleased that they can handle it loud and clear, just the way I like it. Good value for the money!
