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.

Alpine Sub Lover

Ridiculously happy and I don't think you could get more bang for your buck!

Alpine type R 15"

First off, I believe the type r I had was (defective), said to be brand new when purchased from sonic electronix. It appeared to new, however upon powering the subwoofer with a rockford fosgate r1200 (400@4ohms) in a 2.9 cu ft box cross braced with 1" threaded rod, tuned with dual flared 4" precision aero ports and double baffled subwoofer plank and port plank boards. I started to play sine waves at less than half volume from the head unit, bass settings all off amp & head unit, and it was making a wanging noise, so I tried music and it didn't change the tone, shortly after the alpine type r stopped working. :-(...so I contacted SE they gave me a return authorization number, and I shipped it back to them for $ 70.00, I later received the broken subwoofer and no refund, they said iwas my fault because 400 rms isn't enough to break in a 750rms woofer in a ported enclosure...this subwoofer was apart of a $700.00 order, sonic electronix lost my future purchases an those of all my bass head buddies...

Amazing sub

If you're into music with heavy bass like rap definitely an AMAZING buy. Have the box tuned super low and it hits so freaking hard it'll knock your socks off. Have only had it in an SUV however. Never have seemed to have over heated it, definitely it has warmed up a bit but nothing too concerning. Doesn't do the best with rock, but handles SOME rock decently. First sub I've owned and an amazing one at that!

Super Fast Shipping

This sub came super fast. Ordered it Monday 1 AM. Shipped that same day. Was at my door early Wednesday morning. Only bad thing is after I bought this sub, I wanted to buy another one but the price jumped. I think I'm going to sale this and go with 2 12" Type-Rs.

Great sub!

I have this sub in a custom ported box tuned to 30hz with a autotek 1200 amp. and this sub pounds! The notes are always clean and clear never distorted. Wouldnt hesitate to buy again.

IT IS LOUD

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.

Best Buy!!!

I bought 2 of these Alpine Type Rs with dual voice coils from SonicElectronix. I have then hooked up to my Kicker 987.1 and wow.. I just put them in and all my friends think im stupid.. I still need to get a power cap.. my lights dim alot. But if ur looking for a sub that will blow your mind for a reasonable price.. These are the way to go.. I wish Alpine would have use a different paint scheme.
