@@Warg666 What are you talking about? Oh, ppl in Car Audio told you you're an audiophile...good for you...I've been satisfied with nothing less than high quality audio in every sound device I own for decades...call it what you will.
My only issue with this is comparing Components to Coaxials. The components will win 95% of the time. I'd suggest redoing this comparison with the Alpine S-S65.
I tried both of these in my 2018 Kia Niro with the stock non premium head unit and the Alpines have deeper and smoother bass. If you are looking to just replace the stock speakers and not add a subwoofer I would go with the Alpines.
The kickers are actually rated down to a lower response and the do dig Lower but it's stupid considering the build of the speaker doesn't allow the extention/excursion needed to use it properly it's rated to 48 Hz or something from memory and Alpine is around 60 something but sounds deeper!
those kickers never disappoint!! if you already have subs, no need for the lowness of the alpine. but if you are wanting that mid punch......seems like kicker has it!
Bro, coaxial speakers filter with one stage while component speakers filter with two. This results in better bass and better sound but also is more expensive.
Great comparison. I just needed to replace my stock speakers for my 2003 Trailblazer. I'm using the Pioneer DMH-241EX radio that I just bought to run my MTX Terminator6 Terminator Series 6-1/2" 2-way car speakers that were $40 a pair. I bought 4 of those. They sound like great for $40 speakers. I just didn't want to spend too much money in my old commuter 😂😅.
Thanks Mike !! With your channels reviews help I bought some speakers and never regretted them, I'm thinking of upgrading my Lexus LX 570 2011 stock speakers and need your help bro Thanks and really appreciate your hard work
Great video! I use to always run kicker cs. They took a beating and never gave up. I’m switching to alpine for the cleaner sound. Hopefully they work out great.
This has to be one the closest comparisons I’ve heard on the channel. The alpines are just a little cleaner on the higher end. These kickers may be on par with the infinity?
What amp are you reunning the speakers through? Which be better for a 2017 civic EX with a stock amp. Believe the stock amp is about 50 watt rms, and has high sensitivity speakers in them.
Hi i love your content. I have installed the same 4 Kicker speakers to the stock system of my Honda Accord. Still miss the punch (bass) do u think i need to install Amplifier to have maximum bass?
Hello ... I argued with an installer about replacing 4 speakers in the car Buick lacrosse 2012 The installer offered me straight alpine s65c Go ahead and back alpine s65 I mentioned that I don't intend to put an amplifier and if 65c which is a component will give enough power I asked why not put speakers without good components because there is no amplifier, but he still insisted that the vehicle is correct and will give value The problem is not the price, but you can get quality speakers without a component for this price or even less... He claimed that alpine is still among the best today and still take the component and if I'm not satisfied put an amplifier even though I mentioned several times that I'm not interested in an amplifier In conclusion, the installer recommended component front speakers even if I don't connect an amplifier.. what do you think Thanks
Hi Mike so please tell which are better to go with the bass with the oem standard radio on the ford fusion 2015 no extra amp just replacing speakers which would be better on bass alpines or rockfords or kickers or other etc,Thanks ps. it has just little stock tiny standard amp in the trunk and the standard paper speakers in this car are just garbage
I have watched a bunch of your videos enjoy, I enjoy your content. Im looking to upgrade my stereo system in my 2007 dodge ram 1500, but I am still so confused on what to get. Is there anyway you could help me. Please let me know and I could give you my budget and what im interested in. Thanks so much
Hey Mike, I am your new favourite speaker review subscriber, can you give me your thoughts on this - I am planning upgrade all 8 speakers with Alpine S-S65C on my 2023 Honda civic but will be using the Honda stock head-unit. Will it be compatible and make a real difference for my investment just on the speaker upgrade for now? I will obviously look into the foam ring and sound deadener while this is getting done on each car door panels. Thanks!
I can't decide between these two speakers, I would take either the Alpine S2 S65C or the JBL GTO 609C for the car door. Of course, it would be connected to a Hifonix amplifier with a power of 4x135Watt/RMS with 4 Ohm OR 4x225Watt/RMS with 2 Ohm. Then I would need 4" speakers for the dashboard, which I would have to choose from is the Alpine S S40 (S2 S40) or the JBL Club4020, because I can't get anything else from JBL here in Europe. Now it's important that the speakers don't have that pounchi bass but that deep soft bass and the tweeters are not that important because those prominent trebles are really annoying to me and the middle tone is more important to me.I now have Hertz DSK170.3 speakers in my door and I'm not happy with them at all the bass is totally bad that strange pouncy bass, even though I have the doors insulated with Sound Deadener and foam specifically for car sound systems.
Alpine is just better made and has better sound. Kicker to me has always been a Pepboys car audio brand. If you run a sub, Kicker might be better to get strong mid-bass.Ya, the Alpine def. sounds smoother. I ran them previously, and I just found them to be too power hungry, I.e., the sensitivity is too low.
Hi..you can halp me please Alpine s-s69c vs audison av-k6 voce...thank you so for your help ❤❤ I have Subaru xv 2022...the speaker is on the front door!!
I have a question I hope you can answer it. I'm looking to replace the 6.5 subwoofer on my Polk xt60, it has 2 passive radiators on each tower. I wanted something with bass any suggestions?
both speakers are in the same enclosure. making the speakers treat eachother as passive Radiator speakers. They should have their own sealed enclosures. thats why when one is active the other one is being moved. It will throw off results.
The reason why the kicker has more cone movement and less bass is because the enclosure it is in is not tuned as well to the kicker speaker as it is the Alpine. I’m not saying the kicker has more bass in general than the Alpine, I’m just pointing out a fact.. You can clearly see the Alpine cone area is much greater than a Kickers. It’s going to move more air. Had you put the Alpine up against the CS component it would be a much closer comparison though.
To anyone who is upgrading their speakers SOUNDPROOF YOUR DOORS it makes a huge difference.
Any recommendations?

Kicker sounds much richer and thumpier, but you can hear a lot more smoothness from the alpine.

What If we have completely aftermarket set up with subwoofer
@@luism8612still choose alpines. they play at a high bass note which is better for handling midbass
Thank you sir for producing such great videos a lot of people reviews car speakers but they never even play the speakers

I’ve recently purchased the kickers can’t wait to get them installed with factory unit , reason why I’m here thanks for this video
@alexgaona5682 how do they sound since you installed them?
Good information. I like Alpine but for half the price, Kicker sounds really clean.
Please do a review comparison with JL Audio C2 6×9 ,6.5 and also Kenwood Excelon KFC 6903 C. Love your videos brother.Keep it up
I think you should of do a part two and add songs with some vocals.

FOSGATE 6.5 VS THIS KICKER VS ALPINE S-S65 COAXIL NO SEPERATES ITS NOT FAIR
Those kickers are very clear....I love kicker coaxes
If you have a sub, you do not need bass from your small speaker.
And since bass in doors are a bit out of control, Kicker take the win for me.
Bass isn’t the only benefit
Alpine S S65C S Series 6.5

I have a 2016 accord touring with a 360w system. Do you think the s-s65c would be a good alternative for swapping the front speakers and tweeters?
thanks for ur videos it help me buy my own speakers and I chose alpine I like it just one question is alpine made in China?
Thanks for the update!! ❤️
thanks, I'm in the process of system build. looking to do dual 6.5 pods in the front and rear on the doors.
I have the Kicker 46CSS674 component speakers. I like to see them up against the Alpine S65C.
This has to be one the closest comparisons I’ve heard on the channel. The alpines are just a little cleaner on the higher end. These kickers may be on par with the infinity?
Have you ever tested the Bazooka replacement subwoofer
If we can’t make up our minds we can install 2 Alpines and 2 Kickers..in our vehicles
Please make review with the new model alpine type S,love your videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was very helpful!!!!

Hi Stock units can run only 30% of the speaker so you not going to get decent sound if you not gonna install any amp then go with rockford or kicker
In my own opinion... Alpine is louder however flat. But the Kickers sound better-more splashy!
Great indication light

Bass takes power you can chase it all you want but a decent amp is the answer

This alpine or gto609c
Just don’t buy component speakers for a car unless you plan to use a dsp and run them with an active crossover. Otherwise just use a coaxial.
Can still get a good sound not using dsp. Ignorant to say only buy coax without dsp
I guess it doesn’t matter which ones I get cause I can’t tell a difference lmaoo
I just replaced both front speaker ,do I need an amplifier ?
Yeah any small amp makes big difference
@@LIFEINSPEED thank you ! yeah . Because when I replaced the front ..the rear went out LOL im new to this "sound" game man
the Kickers have better lows, mids & highs compared to the Alpines
👍👍👍...
The reason why the kicker has more cone movement and less bass is because the enclosure it is in is not tuned as well to the kicker speaker as it is the Alpine. I’m not saying the kicker has more bass in general than the Alpine, I’m just pointing out a fact.. You can clearly see the Alpine cone area is much greater than a Kickers.
