Best 6.5" speakers I can get to be powered from Alpine head unit ?


Recommended Posts

Since setting up my busienss and havign quite a lot of success I am branching out further and have sold my Audi to invest in myself, so I am going to be using my work car as my main car for at least the next 12 months.

In the past I have always gone all out on sound systems, using 2 sets of hight quality high RMS components (mids, tweets & crossovers) ran from a powerfull amplifier coupled with subs and amps. so I am not really up on powering speakers from head units, but I know the kind of components I used to run need an amp just to drive them.

I have took my Alpine CDE-9880R Head unit from the Audi and fited it to my work car (Vauxhall Astra Mk4 Estate) using the standard speakers and wiring, it sounds shockingly bad.

What I am asking is which speakers (2 pairs) should i replace the standard speakers with just using the existing wiring and no amplifiers or anything, to be powered from the head unit? I think these will have to be integrated speakers because the factory tweeters are located where you cant really replace them ?

I beleive the more sensative the speakers the better when it comes to running them straigth from the HU ?

I was considering 2 sets of ALPINE SXE 1725S but I'm not sure.

Thanks

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
