Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good Wires

Pros : Flexible, decent starter kit. Perfect for 500w RMS systems
Cons : No RCA cables, included terminals don't really work, but other than that, they are very decent wires.

Decent Kit

Good: Very flexible cable, accurate gauge. Quality finished terminals. Nice fuse holder.

Quibble: The black jacket at the beginning of the power run is not as practical as it might seem. It runs about 4-5' from battery side with a gap at 18" for the fuse. The jacket is braided nylon and held in place with shrink wrap, all good. But cutting jacket results in messy ends. In the end I removed it for my application.

Generally, learned 18 ft. of cable isn't enough to connect an amp located in the back on the passenger side of a station wagon.

Good product!

Great company and product. No problems with transaction.

ALPINE SWR-1023D AND SWR-1223D

I purchased 1 Alpine SWR-1023D and 2 SWR-1223D sub woofers.
The SWR-1023d is the latest 10 inch, 2 ohm, dual voice coil modle of the alpine type "r" sub. The srw-1223 is the 12 inch modle with the same voice coil setup.
I have been installing high preformance car audio and home theater systems for 30 years. I have built many award winning systems and i can say at this price you cant touch these subs. The only thing that comes close to this level of preformance is the jl audio w7 series subs. Which will out preform these subs by a very small margin, for $450 each. Dollar for dollar these speakers kick but, I drive the 10" with a class d 1024 watt mono amp and drive the 2-12" with a 1800 watt per ch stereo amp. These amps run the speakers very hard but can not seem to hurt them. Other speaker systems that I have run with these amps ran out of x-max (forward or rearward cone movement) but these have handeled everything i have thrown at them. I am sure if you get stupid with these speakers you can break anything but if you use them properly they will last and kick your but with incrediably loud and low bass.

GREAT SUB!

I got this sub when it first came out for 170-180 about half a year ago. It was my first sub and i had it hooked up to an old Rockford amp that put out 550 rms in to 2 and it was ok alot of people hate on tens when the only big diff. is that 12's and 15's and others just push more air. And just a couple weeks ago i baught a Alpine Mrp-m1000 amp and hook it up to the type r i had it at 4 ohms so ithe amp was pushing 600W into the sub and thats what it Rms is anyways and let me tell you this thing was LOUD .........I HIGHLY Recommend this sub and if you do get it then deff. look in to getting an mrp-m1000 it costs alot but it is a really good amp and if you upgrade to type x ( which i am and just ordered ) you will already have an amp

BOOOOOMMMM!

if there were a 6th star it would be selected in all of the catagories this sub is amazingly easy to install and kicks like none other. Not saying that you Should but i have 2 of these into a monoblock that pushes 1500 watts RMS through the subs and these subs have never thought about blowing. Extremely well made. You will not be disapointed in the purchase of these subs cleanest bass you will find.

very well built

Way better than what i had before. I replaced Phoenix Gold with these. It's like day, and night. Good quality, good sound. they barely move, and produce nice bass. Very tight, they also fit in a small box. I had to make a ring spacer out of 3/4" particle board, but managed to get them under the rear seats of my 2004 dodge ram. I recommend these if you have limited space. reasonable price too!

Alpine type R subwoofers!

I would recomend this sub to any one who has very little mounting depths. The ease of use and the fact that they handle alot of power. These subs are very clean sounding, rich and deep base. I love these subs.

Excellent Subwoofer, great price

This particular subwoofer, the 10" Alpine Type R (SWR-1023), is a 500 watt RMS sub that is great for someone who is looking for some high quality sound, with a really good amount of thump, and at a low price.

The sub is installed in a custom fiberglass enclosure (0.7 CuFt) built into the right cubby behind the wheel well. It looks great and sounds even better.

For the price, you simply won't find a comparable subwoofer. You may find ones that claim more power handling capability, and you'll certainly be able find some that cost less. But this one will have better sound, better quality, and better reliability.

these hit hard!

def some good subs, played em low for a while then turned them up. they are in a sealed .7 cu box powered by a alpine 1000watt amp.

What did you say?

I've got two of these under the rear seat of my Nissan Titan powered with 1200 watts from a Cadence ZRS-C65. I wish I could have two 12's in a ported enclosure, but that's not feasible with keeping the truck's seat configuration. Despite that, these obviously get loud in a 0.6 ft^3 per sub sealed enclosure. With the two bass boost options on the amp they get reasonably low, as in B- overall, and an A+ rating for diameter and enclosure type and volume.

When supplied with Lil' Wayne's "A Milli" or Mt. Eden's "Omen" I end up deaf for half a day.

alpines #1!

i bought two alpine type-r 10" and they won my class in a M.E.C.A competition.... only was running on 400 watts but i punched out 135.7DB on the sound meter...i ran them in a 4th order bandpass so they should have been louder than 135.7DBif i was ported but i ran with a walmart amp and still won. type r's are awesome! best bang for the buck!

Great box

This box is overall a great product. Just sleek, simple, and perfect.

Holy S***!!!!!

Damn! For an amp this size to pound as loud as it does is crazy! Its only a 500 watt amp but I have it pushing 2 12" CVR woofers (400 RMS a piece) so hard I had to turn the gain down cause I thought I might blow them up! Excellent buy!

NOT Perfect for RE SEX10D4 sub

This box is sold as a package deal with an RE SEX10D4 sub and the sub does not fit in the opening. The opening will need to be widened to fit the cage of the sub through the hole. Air space is perfect for the RE recommended .65cu ft after sub is installed and it sounds clean and reproduces deep lows.

Beware this is a budget box and the poly fill is loosely glued to the interior of the box. After modifying box and wiring sub I did need to re-glue polyfill. Also the carpet is not perfect and a small area on the face of the box was missing carpet and appeared to have a rusty staple exposed. I don't care about looks so it was right for me.

Box review

This box is more than what I expected out of a prefab sealed enclosure. It has a great build quality and looks great. The carpet is decent. I'd definitely recommend this box to anyone looking for a small sealed enclosure who doesn't want to build one. I couldnt have done any better for the price and it fit my sub's sealed spec requirements according to the manufacturer.

Great product

I have this amp powering 1 dc audio level 2 m2 running at 1ohm and this amp does not get hot.
Would be nice if crossfire would add a subsonic filter

It's ok

It wasn't for me. I needed something that was going to make some real deep bass. If u just want to amp up your music then this would be the amp to get. But not if you need some car rattling bass.

RE audio

Sick amp when i opened up the box i wasnt sure the amp would push enough considering it is the size of a small note book but it pounds HARD!

Great Buy!

I didn't intend on purchasing this product, but they ran out of stock of the other Alpine sub that I wanted. But this product is amazing, and really easy to install. It made a huge difference in the back of my Scion tC.

great amp

This amp is amazingly powerful, pushes the subs i have (2 Rockford Fosgate R2D4-12's) at 250RMS per sub at 2ohms wired up to 4 at the subs. It has a crazy amount of sustained power. This amp is sleek and EXTREMELY small for the amount of power it puts out. I have even placed in the top 10 at audio comps with this amp alone. Must buy if its fits for your subs. I have had it for 6 months, and not 1 second of hesitation from this amp, and I dont take it easy on my system.

wow

This thing really does the job, I opened it up an had my doubts but it makes my one of 12 pound an when I get my box tomorrow it should make both my 12's pound

Type R Alpine

Very solid sounding bass hits very hard

Just what you expect

It's exactly what it says. The terminals are a little weak on the inside. Other than that, excellent.

WOAH!!

Bought this as part of a bass package on the site and for it to be so compact, it makes my rockford fosgate 12" subs BANG! Would recommend!!

great amp

pros: powers my re audio sex d2 wired at 1 ohm without overheating or distortion and is very small for its power.
cons: have to remove sides of the amp to access power and speaker connections

BUY THIS!

Great amp, doesn't get hot and makes my W6 pound

awesome box

I am new to car audio. I read up on everything before buying my current setup, a Rockford 10" Punch sub. I drive a station wagon, and was worried that it wouldnt sound great compared to using a ported box, but this works just fine. Pretty durable, havent had any problems.
