Review written by aaron from collegeville, PA
these subs are awesome i love them i've herd many subs before and ive installed several different brands and so far i like the alpines the best a friend of mine bought a set of the Type-R's and they were insane i couldnt even stay in his truck when he would turn them up. they wer a bit much for me so i took it a step down with the Type-S's and im still extremely impressed for only being 300 rms each there awesome and they take one HELL of a beating i have them in a sealed box hooked up to a 900 watt rms audiobahn A16000V at 4ohm and they POUND!!!!!!! i cant turn the gain up more then a 1/4 of the way cause i cant keep my rear view mirror on lol i would recomend these to anyone looking for a great sub at a great price. i promise if u have these things hooked up to a good amp you wont be disappointed

Great subs! I put them in a truck which has very limited space and the low profile fit the truck and they still hit really hard!

Review written by Logan from Broken Arrow, OK
I had these subs for about 4 months and they were pretty good. They bump pretty loud. They Shook my whole car! Made my trunk go CRAZY! Even with it insulated. People down the street called the cops on me because they were so loud. Woke up the old man down the street and made him come up to my car and asked me what was in my trunk. I had them running at about 600 watts a piece. Just get them hooked up right and you wont be disappointed. Had them running on a JBL BP1200.1. These are great for the price. Just buy them!

Review written by Gregory from Enfield, CT
I have bounced back a forth between Rockford and alpine. I had a type r first then i switched to 2 type s 12's..And i loved the type s's way better than i like the type r. The type r hit lower and such obviously but the type s hit harder and better quality bass. Then i went to rockford fosgate p3 and it was ok...not my favorite but now i went to the type x running it on a 2 ohm load at 2000 watts and its very loud..but i love it..But if anyone here is debating on the type R vs the type S it all depends on the music you want to listen to but I think all around the S's are better than the R's.

I have 3 of these in 96 camry and wow is all i can say they have great response to lows and can handle any bass line you throw at it. i recomend theses in a ported box i have them in a sealed box but i know once i get my ported box it will be 2xs louder

Wow is all i have to say about this subwoofer and the price on this website. Any store you go to wants at least $110 for this sub. I have two of these in a custom alpine box hooked up to a 1500w alpine amp and i have been pulled over 6 times in a year. A definite must buy.

Review written by Chris from St George, UT
All I can Say is HOLY $#!* this thing hits hard I have this hooked up to an Alpine 450W v power amp and with 450w alone it feels like my jeep GC is going to Explode!!! only complaint is I had it jumped for 2 ohms to get the max 450w from my amp and the dual voice coil got smoking hot... and I do mean Smoking!!! so I re did the jumpers to 4 ohms and all is well, its not as powerful as the 2 ohms but still a hard hitter if you need a 2 ohm sub better to get the sws-1223D from sonicelectronix

This sub hits pretty good. My friend helped me install it and he was comparing this one to the sub he has in his truck and although his was a little deeper, he loved the sound of this sub and so did i.
