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.

These are amazing subs. They hit hard and sound clean. If your looking for a sub thats not super expensive, but good quality and you want it to hit hard but your not looking to win any competitions. This sub is for you.

I have two of these subs running them at 600W at 1 ohm each for about two years now. You need to dynamat your trunk and your shelf if you do not want you trunk to rattle. I also have it filled with foam, and license plate on a two side scotch tape. At first i had it in a sealed box, and in about a year moved them 3.4 vented (inside volume not outside) 1.7 per speaker. They play lower and louder in a vented box also creating more pressure. I got to say that two of these might be an overkill but for me overkill is under rated.

I recently added one of these in a slot ported box to my system. I have it powered by a Soundstream Picasso PCX1500 running at 1ohm @ 1500 watts RMS and this thing POUNDS! You can feel it from better than 2 blocks away. I would recommend these subs to anyone who want great sounding clear bass!

These subwoofer speakers are super. They have powerful and pure bass.
If you want to add loudness, these won't preserve your ears...
