The alpines sound a little bit better than the shaker speakers WHEN KEPT STOCK AMPED.... My buddy has them in his QX4, amped with the alpine power pack on an alpine iDA H/U (FYI 45W RMS X 4), they sound amazing in his car. He has 4, like I do now as of 2 hours ago (My second pair just got here for my rear deck and I installed em this morning). But amped with the alpine power pack, the speakers sound amazing. Much better than in my car amped with the shaker amps (give or take 15-22 W RMS x 4 on shaker amps). So use your head, they sound about 2-3 times louder than they do stock, which is very loud, plus with the alpine H/U the clarity is unbelievable. I will be doing this setup as soon as Schosche comes out with their dash kit. Either way though, stock or not the alpine type Rs are a great buy, I got em for 160$ a pair, use COUPON CODE 3A825 at checkout and you will get 20 bucks off your order. And yes from Crutchfield, so worth it, and if you need help installing, you can PM me, or call their tech support, I have detailed instructions in my head for what to do exactly, plus every problem I encountered and fixed.
