I was thinking of buying these for my door speakers in my truck. Is alpine still the best for mid-range priced speakers? I know I'll need an amp. I'll have the guys that install them help me choose an amp to make sure they are pushed correctly.

speakers are the component that car makers cheap out on the most

"look, we have 11 speakers on this model, please be impressed by the quantity..."

same thing in UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-X-S65C-Competition-Component-Speakers/dp/B076BQCYSS £349.00

which is $418

so at $649.95 you seem to be paying a bit more?

It's not just the speakers, improving the acoustics of the car (especially the door area) counts for a lot as the interior of a car is godawful for this level of speaker maybe do those two first and see how it sounds

a lower power but better quality amp may work out better, Alpine are OK but you might like to look at other amps like Fosgate too

I think I'll just grab the infinity speakers and have the car audio guys do the math and suggest what amp I should get

yep, Infinity Kappa have a good rep,

better asking on a car audio forum about amps, otherwise you may get upsold on what stock they need to shift. louder isn't 'betterer', domestic hi-fi's can be amazing with 20 watts, and cars are smaller than living rooms

You're right. Didn't think about that yet
