this sub is incredible!! its a couple years old now and still pounds like crazy even though i have it underpowered. alpine continues to make top of the line products. its very clear and is extremely durable. im very impressed. it also has a great price tag

i LOVE this sub! It's matted with the Alpine MRP-M500 for the power and this combo cannot be beat! I am heard from BLOCKS away, and mind you it's only ONE type-r sub. I was gonna put two but it's definitely loud with one. It's super easy to install and Sonic helped me out to pick out the right sub and amp combo to make sure i was running the same ohms.

Review written by David from Uniontown, OH
The hardest part to any system is to find the right amount of power, for the alpine SWR 1242 i found the best result came from the Kenwood KAC-9104D. it preforms great, if you are looking for a system with some heavy kick but just one subwoofer. i look forward to making a full transition to an alpine system within the next few months.
i gave it a 5 for the Durability features and ease of use because well, it has not let me down yet, and probably will not anytime soon.
Good luck on continued success and I will continue sending everyone I know to you, not just cause you hook me up when I need it, but cause you guys are truly the best place (in product and service) I have ever ordered from.
