Advantages: Very clear highs and full midrange response Disadvantages: Weak base
...After trying a few different sets of car speakers (each around the £70 mark) and being dissapointed I finnally decided to take the risk and purchase these high end alpine speakers.
After reading all of the information i could find i decided that these would suit my needs well, im used to high quality Bose systems at home so thought these could produce similar results in my car.
When i got them out of the box my first impressions were of how well they appeared to be made, the cast aluminium frame and the multi-role surround on the cone gave an immediate impression of the quality. The included crossovers also carried on this quality feel.

...As a keen purchaser of Alpine products in the past it is fair to say they have a repretation in the industry. And when it comes to in car audio it is hardvto beat them. This product provides clarity that you would expect as well as a few extras which rivilys would find hard to beat. Its not cheap but then what is and would you buy it if it was no. It the quality you expect from a brand that provides knowledge and well made products as expected.This amp kicks asre and will be seen in many a tesco park park in the future with out a doubt.
