Alpine Electronics 13cm 2-Way Coaxial Speakers SXE-1325S

Bought two pairs of these for my '06 Honda CRV as the original paper cone speakers are/were gaaaaarbage.As someone who's done many dozens of installs over the years I have to say that these are actually pretty good speakers for what they are.Decent volume, no distortion - unless really abusing the volume & bass settings and actually have pretty good range.Obviously bass is going to be limited on a 5" speaker but does manage fairly well with a few tweaks on the equaliser settings on the head unit.My only criticism is that they do seem to be balanced more towards the higher range, would be good to have a bit more mid-range out of them.I should also note that I installed acoustic deadening in my door when I installed these speakers - its a simple thing to do that will make a huge improvement to any system.Honestly, for the money though they punch well above their weight in my opinion as long as you understand the following:Ideally a head unit upgrade or amplifier is required when upgrading speakers as most car stereos are rubbish.Also, these are 5" speakers... Budget 5" speakers... It is unreasonable to expect them to be amazing and will absolutely not win any volume and/or bass competitions. If you want to get the best out of them install sound deadening in your door panel and get a subwoofer. These speakers will be more than adequate in most normal situations.

Really nice for the money, fit perfectly and are a huge upgrade on the OE speakers.

If anyone reads this review just know that everyone here is complaining about the cheapest series Alpine makes. E series aren’t anything special compared to an R or an X. These speakers seriously are worth the money. They cost me 40$ and there is a very clear difference in sound compared to stock Honda speakers. Chances are that everyone here hooked them up backwards lol. They are clear, loud and well built for how inexpensive they are. For only being 5 inches they put out a good amount of bass as well. Worth the money guys. Just make sure they are wired correctly and you’ll have some cheap kick a speakers.

This speaker fits perfectly in the rear parcel shelf of my BMW E39. For a budget-tier option with a working tweeter, the sound quality is surprisingly clear and punchy — a noticeable improvement over the tired OEM units. Build quality does look and feel like it was built with care and not cheap compared to other ones. Functions can be loud if pushed to the max and deliver clear sound with bass and treble. Great value for the price, and installation was hassle-free as my tech did it from the top without damaging any parts. Highly recommended for an affordable audio refresh!

Bought to replace front OEM speakers in my W639 Vito as the price seemed reasonable.Standalone with extra subwoofer acceptable sound, good mids and trebles (for the money) but that pretty much ends there, on their own they have really poor bass and overall don't see how they could perform well.

Probably perfectly OK but they didn't fit the aperture I had. Returned no problem

Cannot argue with these for the price. Bought these and some adapter rings to go in my 1998 Audi A4 Avant. Perfect! 31/10/2019EDIT: The right hand speaker is intermittent and crackles. Sounds like it's blown but the left one is fine21/02/2020

Great audio output considering the price tag, a great cheap little upgrade to your sound system! These aftermarket speakers were considerably quieter than my Clio stock speakers but the clarity was far superior.A little difficult to install into my car, despite the description saying it would be a straight swap the diameter of the speaker was slightly too big when you took into consideration the tabs for the screws.. nothing a saw and a bit of a bodge job couldn’t fix though!
