Alpine Type R Subwoofers
These incredible subwoofers from Alpine have withstood the test of time and proven themselves to be one of the top subwoofer choices for car audio enthusiasts. The Type R subwoofers are designed and engineered for big bass, as well as a durable sub that will last for many years to come. These woofers use a pulp cone that is reinforced with Kelvar for an incredibly durable and rigid structure. The ribbed multi-roll santoprene surround is designed for excellent response, while assisting in smoother cone movement and excursion. The subwoofer will stay cool under extended hard playing with the unique thermal management system that Alpine designed into the Type R Subwoofer. The tinsel leads are hidden and woven into the dual Nomex spiders for a strong and unbreakable connection. For those looking for an industry standard subwoofer with break-taking bass, consider the Alpine Type-R subwoofer.

I have always had alpine speakers. From my door speakers to my subs, i always rely on alpine. before i bought my alpine 10 type r i had two 12 type s which were alright, but i wanted more trunk space so i decided to go with that one. I advise ANYONE to go with this speaker..one type R matches up with 2 type s, or 3 type e, and plus you dont have to go crazy and buy the type x because type r sounds just as good for half the price. i recommend this product to everyone.

I got my 2 Alpine Type R's from someone for around 50 bucks a piece. They're still in great shape and they seriously sound like I have some 12"s in the trunk, and they beat my friend's 15" Kickers, and I'm only running 700 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. lol

I would recommend these speakers for one reason they will out last Kicker and MTX. I got mine 4 years ago almost five and they sound great. My 1 brother bought his kicker 12S around the same time and my buddy got his mtx a year after me. They're both only running 800 watts with ported boxes where I'm running a 1200watts Sony amp bridged with a non ported box. My brother crapped out a year ago and my buddies crapped out 2 years after. It will be 5 years on my birthday witch is a few days from now. I would recommend these to anyone wanting a sub that lasts.

These subs are great. I have always had alpine subs and obviously would recommend them. My first subs were 2 12" Type R in a medium size ported box. It hit hard but the box was more SQL rather than SPL. I hit 137 db on SPL meter with them w/ 400 watts per sub (Hifonics Mono 1206d amp, 1200watts)
Next, i bought an Alpine Type X- 12". One of these in a large ported box, same amp. I hit 143 dbs on the meter. Stupid loud and MUCH louder than the two Type-Rs but with only one sub. Too bad the sub was stupid heavy (like 75+lbs in the box) So i sold it and got more than i paid for it.
I then got a 10" type-R for cheap on this website. I put it in a home made, large, ported SPL box and hit 145dbs on the meter with 2000watts RMS going to it. This was just for fun. But it didn't even blow the sub!!! I hooked it back up to the Hifonics amp and put it into a small ported box later and it's still going strong over 3 years later. Awesome SQL (sound quality) and great for SPL (Sound pressure level- In a way, Loudness)
This sub is great for anybody looking for window shaking, ear tickeling, license plate ratteling bass- to the daily driver listening to hiphop/rap music on the way to school or work, just looking for moderate bass that sounds great!
