Front Speaker Replacement

[venox22]

Right then done a bit of research, but still cant make my mind up which speakers to replace my front OEM ones with. Would like to stick with Alpine as my HU is by them.

Any ppl got Alpine front speakers?? if so which ones size/watt?? componet/coaxial???

What is the most popular aftermarket speaker to replace the OEM fronts with??

you need something VERY efficient as our stock Alpine HU is puny powerwise. I put in the Infinity 6002si Shallow Mount 6 1/2" Coaxials....these fit and sound good, but the important thing is that the ones you get must be extremely efficient...and you will need a spacer to have the speakers be positioned out about 3/4inch away from the side panels into the interior

here's another important spec on the Alpine type R - SPR-176A - 16cm components

Did u need an amp to power these speakers?

[garret2014]

Holy crap resurrected after nearly 4 years dead

you're better off amping any speakers as HU amps are poo

You can buy speaker adapters
