ICE Speaker Recommendations?

[jamie]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in my daily drive. Does anyone have any recommendations for 165mm component speakers?

 

I've been looking at the Alpine SPS-171A but am a bit of a newbie when it comes to car audio. They have the tweeters with them which I'll replace too.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

The ones you've looked at look like quality Items mate. Alpine has been a top name in car audio kit longer than most people think (it's older than a lot of members on OSF ) Always best to get a demo somewhere, but I guess you can't go wrong with a trusted name

Thanks for the info.

 

I'm still considering my options but the Alpines do look good.

Same as anything mate, you get what you pay for, not bang up to date with ice anymore, but used to be well into my sub and amps installs blowing £k's on the stuff

 

I always found the best value was the mid range stuff from each supplier, the 300 notes a set of speakers where brilliant, but not for the money, the £50 a set components were fair, but only got what you payed for. the middle range stuff £100-£150 was always bang on the money and lasted well.

Try the Spl components excellent value for money gives loads of bass and a nice top end.

Twice the price

 

 

The cheaper £79 ones are good and they give out enough bass that you don't need a sub & amp
