Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Alpine built their top-of-the-line Type-X Pro Series component speaker systems from the ground up to bring you uncompromised sound quality. These component speakers offer supreme accuracy and extended response, so you can enjoy "concert hall" sound in your vehicle.

The SPX-17PRO system includes two 6-3/4" woofers, two 1-1/4" ring radiator tweeters, and two outboard crossover networks. The woofer's hybrid glass fibre cone uses a unique cross-ribbed design that increases stiffness and controls resonance, contributing to the speaker's exceptional clarity. A Natural Butyl Rubber surround provides a solid suspension for the woofer cone, while the cast aluminum frame eliminates flexing and unwanted vibrations. A patent-pending cooling system ensures these woofers will play whatever you throw at them, even in the most extreme conditions.

The ring radiator tweeter, the same type you'll find in high-end home audio speakers, offers less mass than a typical dome tweeter, and its linear motion results in extremely smooth response. The tweeter's built-in wave guide helps to disperse the high frequencies more effectively. You can adjust the angle of the tweeter for best results in your listening position.

The external crossover includes 6 phase settings that optimize performance when your components aren't mounted close together. The 4-level tweeter control adjusts high-frequency output for the perfect sound for your vehicle. Enjoy in-your-face immediacy and audiophile sound quality with Alpine's Type-X Pro Series components in your vehicle.

Overpriced and WAY overated December-17-10
Reviewer: Aztekk from Arizona  
The reviews I read about this speaker had me believing I would be transported to a sonic utopia where I sit on a velvet listening chair and have beer served to me from a platinum tray by a bikini clad supermodel in stiletto heels. Needless to say, that did not happen.
   These are disappointing for the money. They play loud, but that's about the only redeeming quality. They sound a little thin, and the detail they extract is merely OK. They don't warrant the money. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, do not spend it on these (or any component speakers) Spend maybe a couple of hundred on your fronts and drop the rest into other audio equipment. You'll thank yourself.

Pros: Really neat looking crossovers that look like small amplifiers. There is enough metal and capacitors in them to make an electronics nerd happy.

Cons: WAY overpriced and frankly don't sound that great.

Great sound but the tweeters look bad when surface mounted. They need a trim ring to hide the threaded adapter.


 
Wow! Amazing SQ November-06-08
Reviewer: Rhino from Savage, MN  
I bought these not knowing alot about component speakers and after a couple days of research I chose these speakers, And it was a very good choice.  I have these powered by a Profile AP600 amp and its more than enough power.   I only have the amp gain set to halfway!!!  The tweeters on this set are amazing. Very clear and very high.  You can hear tones and vocals in songs that you've never heard on regular speakers.  I gave it a 4 because the mids seem to lack the ability to go down to 35hz that they are rated at and distort. But all  in all the Bass Is pretty good after a good 2 hour break in.


 
BEST ON MARKET July-08-08
Reviewer: dave from ROCHESTER,NY  
I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD SAY BEST ON MARKET LIKE JL AUDIO AND SO ON. ALPINE TYPE X PROS ARE AWSOME SOUND AND CAN HANDLE TREMEDAS POWER. I HAVE TWO SETS OF THESE IN MY FORD EXPLORER AND ARE HOOKED UP TO A PDX 4.150. THE SPEAKERS ARE RATED 100 RMS AND HANDLE THE POWER JUST FINE. IF U BUY MUST GET AMP OR WILL HAVE DISTORTAN DUE TO UNDER POWERED SPEAKERS, WHICH ACCOURS WITH ANY BRAND. ALPINE IS THE BEST BRAND ON THE MARKET WHEN IT COMES TO TYPE X. LOUD AND QUALITY SOUND
