I bought these years ago and never used them. I bought two pair and put the other pair in my wife's TSX for about 2 years. Tweeters absolutely rock. Passive xovers absolutely rock. Mids are alright - not a ton of midbass, but clean and clear and great Danish build quality.

I have sold the used set, so I don't have any out of box to photograph.
The tweeter is chambered somewhat deep, so it will not go in a mirror sail location without a lot of fab outwards. Dash locations with depth, kick panel pods, some doors OK - I think they go into an E36 door OK. It's actually a good idea for the E36 3-series factory locations due to the low xover point and the 5.25 mid. But audi OEM tweeter locations, or BMW E90 3-series are a problem, and I think E46 3-series OEM locations as well.
Check alpine's site for the manuals - lots of detail in there as I recall on xover set up and tweeter mounting HW. This passive has on-vs-off-axis options and is very tunable.
These particular ones were marketed by Alpine as a center channel kit - each box has one mid, one tweet, and one passive. IIRC, MSRP was $600 per set.
I will let these go for $500 shipped in the continental US.
