not bad not good

I have this sub in a 1.3 cube sealed box with a Alpine M-500 pushing it and with the amp turned half way up, bass boost all the way down this sub CLIPS like crazy!

Great Sub

These subs hit like a set of JL Audio W3s which are about 3 times more. Very shallow mount depth which is good for behind the seats in a truck (like mine) I custom built 2 sealed boxes for them at about .65 cubic feet each and they hit great. Loud and clear. I am pushing 260W RMS to them and they can handle much more. Love them and would recommend them to anyone

Hmmm, think again

This driver has a defined rattle to it. I've had it in a sealed and a ported box both matched to it in specs. It is underpowered at the moment and I have given up on locating the source of the rattle. Now it's time for another brand.

Impressive!

This is the first Alpine sub I've installed. More often than not I try to go with JL but this system was built on a budget.

The quality of the subwoofer is what I found most impressive. You can tell Alpine took the time to craft this jewel. Doesn't seem cheap at all and produces decent bass for the price. It won't rattle your eyeballs loose but will certainly add some depth to any system without overpowering even stock components. Overall for the price, it's a damn good value.

wow.

Got these subs in a sound ordnance ported box and WOW do they freaking slam. I have them on an Alpine mrp-m650 giving them 600 watts and they couldn't be happier. These are so loud, clear, and punchy. I love them.

Great tight sounding sub!

I have put this sub in two different boxes. One was designed for under the seat and immediately I was underwhelmed at the response of the sub. Having said that the box was only around .45 cubic feet. The second box I designed was around .90 cubic feet and the sub came alive! It's a wonderful sub for snappy quick responses but it does lag a bit on the deep stuff. Perhaps pushing the volume out to 1.2 cubes would be a bit better for the lower frequencies. So, it's a great value and great sound but for a shallow mount sub, it requires a pretty big box.

last about 4 months

I bought 2 of them and had them boomin for about 4 months. Then one just stopped working. Customer support is wonderful they gave me credit and got it replaced. Then the other went up in smokes one month after being paired with the replacement. Sent it back then the next day the replacement stopped working. Didnt change any settings on the amp. Will not be purchasing these subs anymore.

GREAT VALUE

Great sound at a great price

At first I was unsure of whether the Alpine PDX5 amplifier would power two 1043D's enough to produce decent bass in my sedan. I was pleasantly surprised by the volume and by the frequencies that this combination could achieve. I prefer clear and balanced music in my vehicle over making myself deaf and these subs achieved my goal. Combined with the Imprint processor, Alpine has caused me to want to listen to all my favorite songs over again because I have never heard them sound this great. This sub is great for mid-level price consumers who aren't looking to win any stereo competitions but appreciate cranking music on a trip or at the beach. Loud enough to irritate the neighbors.
