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.

OMG! Ive been in the car audio game for two years. Over the years ive had everything from cheap to expensive, one to four subs, ported sealed all of that... Finally decided play with the big boys and get nothing but the best.
Super Duper Bass. I have just one in a ported box paired with the Rockford Fosgate Prime R500-1. Perfect Combination. If U Only Want One Get This Pair! Wont B Disappointed.

This is the second subwoofer i have owned (previously had Polk DB) and im happy i got these. I'm running one type r off a kenwood 1800 amp at 4 ohms pushing 500 rms in a ported box. I love how it can take a beating playing for hours. I have had this for over a year and a half now and no complaints! Makes my pontiac g5 2009 rattle!!
Sonic has the best price and the best customer service... and dont forget FREE shipping and fast !
