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 Kevlar 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.

I recently bought one of these. It's in a sealed box running off a nitro bmw 2000w amp and it sounds great. hits all the lows and as loud as you want it it'll never get distorted. Anybody looking for a single sub that gives you a back massage while you drive, look no further

I went from a 300 watt rms 12" pioneer sub to this... and boy I can hear a difference! I have it powered by the Re Audio DTS 1000.1 amp and I have it wired in parallel to 1 ohm. I made a custom ported box out of mdf and have it to the suggested 2.9 ft2 and tuned to about 32 hz. This thing hits really hard and it's kinda annoying because it makes so many things (including the trunk) vibrate and rattle, which is kind of what you go for in this nice of a sub! It kind of makes you feel uncomfortable playing it loud and you can feel it! When playing some songs with really low bass you can definitely tell that it is a 15" because it plays the lows of the lows. aside from being just loud it is also clear and everything you could want from a 15". It turns a lot of heads... It just happened to me the other day I was a couple hundred feet from these group of guys going TOWARDS them and all of their heads turned at the same time lol.
