New and Improved Alpine Type-R:
This 10" Type-R subwoofer offers 600W RMS enhancing your system with the cleanest sound and most efficient force control. This subwoofer has voice coils made from 180°C high temperature wire on spiral cut aluminum former enhancing structure durability. Delivering the best bass output, the Alpine SWR-1023D has been redesigned to enhance audio playback and become your ideal sound system. Type-R's new depth design offers a 20% reduction while adding the new and improved magnet structure. With this updated double-stacked strontium magnet, this product gains over 20% more motor force to provide a louder, cleaner bass. The optimized CRC machined motor creates an even magnetic field to provide the user with less distortion and overall improves the subwoofers power handling. This subwoofer features a High-Amplitude Multi Roll (HAMR) to provide excellent excursion with overall better output. With an updated assembly, this subwoofer is able to withstand higher temperatures more efficiently without distortion allowing the best sound possible. Type-R's greatly improved installation options by allowing a shallower mounting depth. Having a new and improved airflow management system controlling the temperature of the voice coils, the air is redirected across the heatsink to avoid overheating. With heavy playing time, this heatsink feature minimizes the amount of compression to reduce any heat damage to the voice coils giving you a long-lasting subwoofer.

if there were a 6th star it would be selected in all of the catagories this sub is amazingly easy to install and kicks like none other. Not saying that you Should but i have 2 of these into a monoblock that pushes 1500 watts RMS through the subs and these subs have never thought about blowing. Extremely well made. You will not be disapointed in the purchase of these subs cleanest bass you will find.

I purchased 1 Alpine SWR-1023D and 2 SWR-1223D sub woofers.
The SWR-1023d is the latest 10 inch, 2 ohm, dual voice coil modle of the alpine type "r" sub. The srw-1223 is the 12 inch modle with the same voice coil setup.
I have been installing high preformance car audio and home theater systems for 30 years. I have built many award winning systems and i can say at this price you cant touch these subs. The only thing that comes close to this level of preformance is the jl audio w7 series subs. Which will out preform these subs by a very small margin, for $450 each. Dollar for dollar these speakers kick but, I drive the 10" with a class d 1024 watt mono amp and drive the 2-12" with a 1800 watt per ch stereo amp. These amps run the speakers very hard but can not seem to hurt them. Other speaker systems that I have run with these amps ran out of x-max (forward or rearward cone movement) but these have handeled everything i have thrown at them. I am sure if you get stupid with these speakers you can break anything but if you use them properly they will last and kick your but with incrediably loud and low bass.

I would recomend this sub to any one who has very little mounting depths. The ease of use and the fact that they handle alot of power. These subs are very clean sounding, rich and deep base. I love these subs.

This particular subwoofer, the 10" Alpine Type R (SWR-1023), is a 500 watt RMS sub that is great for someone who is looking for some high quality sound, with a really good amount of thump, and at a low price.
The sub is installed in a custom fiberglass enclosure (0.7 CuFt) built into the right cubby behind the wheel well. It looks great and sounds even better.
For the price, you simply won't find a comparable subwoofer. You may find ones that claim more power handling capability, and you'll certainly be able find some that cost less. But this one will have better sound, better quality, and better reliability.

i bought two alpine type-r 10" and they won my class in a M.E.C.A competition.... only was running on 400 watts but i punched out 135.7DB on the sound meter...i ran them in a 4th order bandpass so they should have been louder than 135.7DBif i was ported but i ran with a walmart amp and still won. type r's are awesome! best bang for the buck!
