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.

Review written by quisp2112 from Los Angeles
Before owning the 2x type Rs I had 1x JL Audio 12w7 and I have to say the two type Rs are MUCH better!!! The SQ of these subs is just amazing. Very tight and very powerful. I have heard these subs in a side by side comparison against the 1x JL audio 12w7 using both a rockford T2000bd amp and a slash 1000/1 amp and they sound better in both cases. These are the gold standard in subs and with good reason. Get them and you will not be disappointed!!

Review written by Sergio from Solvang, CA
This subwoofer is great. After owning it for 6 months I can truthfully say that this is a top notch subwoofer. The bass is very clean and loud. I have this sub in a ported 1.7 Cubic foot enclosure whitch is tuned to 33hz. I love my cars sound system to be loud but also very clear with no distortin. In my car this sub is set to be a perfect balance between spl and sq. Do your homework when matching this sub with an amp and enclosure and you will love it.
I just wanted to say that Sonic Electronix did an excellent job with all aspects of my order of a JVC ipod adapter for my car stereo. The price was the best I could find, shipping was reasonable and the order was processed in a timely manner. Thanks for bringing such great service to the internet!
