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!

bang for the buck.

I purchased this sub a 1 year ago, and have over powered it since the day i bought it. This sub has pass my expectations and for a 10" at 250rms, i was pleased with the performance. I would recomend this product as a entry product, for starters.

Really good subs

These are really good subs for the money. They handle all bass frequencies very good. If you don't have the room for 12" or 15" subs these are the one for you.

Great Starter Subs

Before these models, I had two of the previous models, which were my first subs ever. Loved them, and after several other subs, i bought three of these and wired them to 1.4 ohms. Great sound, not just quality but also in spl. They were in a ported box, that i also got from this site. Overall, very very good looking subs, and were friendly with most types of music. Awesome subs, and would definitely buy again, especially from Sonicelectronix, Great service, prices and customer service.

Boom!

These are a fantastic 10 inch sub. Powered with 300w kennwood, there is no disappointment. A fantastic deal and great bass with an easy fit.

Just a solid sub, love it

I have a pair of these and they do what they are built to do - thump. Driven by an Alpine amp, I am really happy with these.
Only thing I do not care for is the rubber piece that goes around the sub once mounted.

good review

it doesn't take a lot of power to get great sound from this sub, and it produces great bass in a relatively small enclosure. the price isn't bad for what you get either.

Good subs

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.

Buy em!

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!
