Alpine SPR-17S to buy or not to buy

ablues10 · 07-02-2009, 02:18 AM

I have a MRP-F450 (100rmsx4) that will be pushing it. I need something better than my Rockford punch door speakers and I want to spend no more than 150. I want a crossover and separate tweeters. I can get this right now for $150 shipped new. What is everyones opinions? I already have a MRP-M1000 (1000rmsx1) and a 10" type x.

type r comps arent bad but they are very power hungry and a not efficient at all. look into the pioneer d series comps. i feel in love with these speakers when i heard them and the price point aint bad either. they are pretty much the same category as your r's your looking for.

I am not fond of the type-s, you can do sooo much better.

These are pretty decent (personally messed with em)

These are very nice. Actually kinda wish I ordered these instead of the Kappas.

There are tons of brands. Get out to your local shops and listen to sets. Find ou what you like and then see if the shop will give you a decent price. If they do buy local, if not buy online.
