2005 TSX, non-Navi

Ok, the Alpine Type-S threads are so long and overly complex. I have a simple question really. I am planning to keep the stock headunit and stock amp. I want an Alpine speaker solution that is easy to install (i.e. no speaker hole boring). I want component speakers for my front door/dash. I do not plan on using the cross-overs that come with the components. I will use the stock amp's cross-over because I heard that it's less of an installation hassle.

Rear Deck - SPS-690A 6" x 9" 3-way speakers $72.30
Rear Door - SPS-170A 6.5" 2-way speakers $52.35
Front Door/Dash Component - ?????

Which front Door/dash Alpine component model do I need for the EASIEST installation?

As for the front door/dash components, I'm willing to spend more since they are the most important speakers to the driver...ME!

if you don't use the crossover that alpine comes with its gonna sound like ass.

Either do it right or don't do it at all, you're gonna be disappointed.

Yeah, thanks for not answering my original question...which was: "Which front Door/dash Alpine component model do I need for the EASIEST installation?"

excited had the SPS-171A components installed in his TSX in the exact manner that you are looking for. Check his thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/added-alpine-sps-171as-my-06-tsx-331765/
