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.
If you need a speaker that will sound good in a small box then buy the TYPE R. I have a very small custom box that I've build for my trunk, while doing the research, Alpine speaker said it need minimum of 0.57 cubic feet for enclosed box, and that was perfect for me.
The sound it produced is more than I've expected. Im happy with it.

Review written by Tyler from Butler PA
I only bought 1 of these with a MB Quart 1500.1D Wired down to 2ohms at 750watts RMS in a 1.7cf Ported box. I was kind of worried about over powering it by that much and it not being loud enough. But let me tell you. For 1 12" it take all the power all day long with no problem. And gets very loud. Well worth the money and i WILL be buying another one from sonic! Great service fast shipping like always!!!

I bought two of these 12 inch type r's today man do they hit. I did have 2 10" boston acoustic g2's so my 8 gauge wiring kit isnt enough but I will be buying a 4 gauge tomorrow or tonight so these subs will pound, hard. I can't wait my trunk already rattles to all h*** and people love riding in my Plymouth Breeze (I know) because of the clean, hard hitting bass that gives everyone a back massage because of the vibration. The 10" boston acoustics were also awesome, but these are better. I would definitely recommend either of these brands.
Stay loud!

Review written by dzparker2 from port orchard, wa
i bought two and i couldn't be happier. i'm powering them just with an old school kenwood 800 watt and the sound is so clear, the bass is so deep and pure that i'm scared to buy a bigger amp
Sonic has always got the best prices, super fast shipping and GREAT customer service. I have NEVER had any issue that couldn't be worked out with a simple phone call, and they will even call you back when they say they will!!!!!!!!!! A+++++++
