Thinking of picking up a pair of these along with the SPS-170A (6.5 Coaxials) for the rear. I know the SPS-170A (6.5 Coaxials) have been out for a while, but the SPS-171A (Type-S 6.5 Components) are fairly new. Does anyone currently have a set or have any comments that they would like to share on these speakers? I'm putting together a pretty simple system in my 99 Integra and thought these would fit nicely.

 

how much do you plan on spending on the sps-171a's?

 

About $140.00 for the SPS-171A's and $65.00 for the SPS-170A's.

 

if you can get the type r components. so much better. my cousin has some type s's in his accord and i just put the type r's in mine. it sounds crisper at higher volume.

 

I can get the SPX-177a for $140 plus shipping on ebay. It is a hell of a lot better than the SPS or the SPR. Check out the crossover

 

I didn't see any 6.5" Type-X coaxials from Alpine? Any ideas on what to run in the rear? I was wanting to keep my front and rear speakers similar to avoid noticeable differences in sound quality.

 

I don't think they make any. You make a bridge and make the component into basically a coaxil if you really wanted to. As for the rears. Unless your going for straight volume i wouldn't even bother with them and use the money to uprgrade somethign else. Thats just me.

 

i got a set of 6.5z w/ an eclipse head unit. The speakers are pretty clear but it has no bass. You can bump it up all u want but they ain't gonna thump. Just to let u kno. I recommend getting subs additionally
