Refresh your ride with Alpine
Alpine's been building quality car speakers for decades, and their latest S-Series S-S65 6-1/2" speakers are no exception. If you've been living with anemic factory sound, this step up in range, tone definition, and power handling will make you giddy just about every time you hop behind the wheel. And if you're really jonesing for a boost in sound quality, hook them up to a powerful aftermarket stereo or amp for increased performance.
Worthy materials
Alpine's carbon fibre-reinforced plastic woofer cones provide next-level sturdiness but are also agile enough to handle the complexities of the midrange. Their high amplitude multi-roll rubber surround contributes to reduced distortion for a cleaner sound, while silk dome tweeters give you all the precise details that bring out the character of the instruments and vocals. If you've never experienced Alpine sound quality, these speakers are a great place to start.
Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications. Optional grilles are available for custom installations.

Features
Mounting: Without an adapter, the speakers fit standard 6-3/4" applications. Given their required cutout, they will also fit standard 6-1/2" applications without an adapter, but new screw holes must be drilled. Using the included adapter brackets they can be mounted in a variety of standard 3-hole 6-1/2" applications, Ford 4-hole 6-1/2" applications, and non-standard 6-3/4" applications, without any modification.
Pivoting Tweeters: Each tweeter pivots inside its housing, so it can be angled toward the listeners to improve imaging.

I have an amplifier driving these 6.5" door speakers and they sound good at lower volumes, but where they really shine are at higher volumes. These speakers are loud! I'm impressed.
