    • RMS Power: 100 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 300 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

If you play your music loud and want others to know, the R-Series speakers are the match for you. You’ll enjoy a center sound stage with speakers that play loud and clear without distortion. The R-Series speakers are tuned with an emphasis on the high- and low-end frequencies, so they deliver power while naturally producing bright, active sound. They are the perfect power and performance match for the R-Series subwoofers and amplifiers. The all-new 3rd generation of R-Series speakers are all Hi-Res Audio certified and feature a frequency response up to 40kHz.

  • 3-way component PRO speaker: The R2-S653 is the top of the line of the new 3rd generation R-Series speaker line-up. It features a 6.5" door woofer, 3.8" mid-range speaker and a 1.7" tweeter with up to 40kHz frequency response.
  • Hi-res audio certified hard dome tweeter: The all-new magnesium hard-dome tweeters deliver clear, detailed music reproduction and play up to 40kHz (Hi-Res Audio). You have the option to flush-mount them in their threaded housing or use the included on-dash mounts.
  • Die-cast aluminum basket and large magnets: The PRO models feature high-quality aluminum baskets – resulting in high stiffness and can carry heavier magnets without warping. This allowed our engineers to fit larger magnets than in previous generations while maintaining the same mounting depth.
  • Glass-fiber reinforced cone: The door woofer and the mid-range speaker feature all-new glass-fiber reinforced cones. This material is very stiff and extremely light-weight, resulting in a super-fast response and highly accurate music reproduction.
  • Easy-fit tweeter in OEM locations: You can simply remove the installation frame and the trim ring of the R-Series tweeter to minimize its overall size and diameter. The tweeter itself is then small enough to fit it in many OEM tweeter locations for a stealthy installation.
  • Flexible PRO X-over network: This large-size crossover network includes many high-quality components selected for best sound quality. You can adjust the mid-range speaker level by -3dB / 0dB / +3dB and the tweeter level as well by -3dB / 0dB / +3dB.
  • HAMR surround: Alpine’s HAMR Surround (High-Amplitude Multi-Roll) allows for a maximum cone excursion, while maintaining excellent control. This results in strong bass at high volumes without distortion.
  • New speaker grills: The new speakers grills in hexagon design look very aggressive and do not increase the overall speaker installation diameter.

    Awful Sound

    While the speakers may appear aesthetically pleasing, their performance is severely lacking; they are actually AWFUL. The cheap stock speakers in my vehicle outperformed these speakers significantly. Extremely disappointed! I strongly encourage you to explore other brands/options. Especially because these have a custom aspect to them where they have to cut out a hole in your car door to install a pair of the speakers.
