Genetically Built Like A Type-R

The new Type-E’s highly efficient design can play both louder and lower, and is more durable than its predecessor. With a shallow mounting depth, these subs can be installed just about anywhere, but they look so good, you won't want to hide them.

The Type-E cones are built with a reinforced parabolic cone structure and lightweight poly mica dust cap, enabling a faster snappy dynamic response. The high excursion Santoprene® H.A.M.R. surround allows for impressive linear excursion so Type-E subs play louder, and lower!

What is unique and amazing about the new Type-E subwoofer is not only the engineering behind the build, it's the new requirements for them to optimally perform. The new Type-E 12” specification requires 0.65 – 1.0 cubic feet air space for superior performance. That’s 35% less air space used in your vehicle!

Excellent bass response. Clean and crisp. I would recommend this for any crew cab truck owner whom, doesn't want his teeth to fall out from two 15 inches. I like the two 10's. They offer the balance along with a clean sound.

I have the previous model and am looking to get the newer model. I blast this sub with a kenwood 1000 watt max amp in my room, I have yet to try it in a vehicle. I have it in a 12 x 18 x 14 inch box with a 23.5 inch port that is 1 and a quarter inches by 11 inches. It hits hard and is fills my room with tight and loud bass. Hits hard enough to rattle every wall in my house. No distortion.

Have 2 of them in a 1.1 cubic foot shared box , a bit smaller than I wanted but all I could fit behind the rear seats of my truck. Great tight bass and would recommend you put them in a bigger box if your looking for that extra thump.

Installed 3 of these subs in a single chamber sealed box. Over six months and they still perform with deep, tight, well controlled bass. Very good sub and a great price!
