Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this sub for the money!

This sub is fantastic for the money, I like my 12" R's better, but they cost more and require more power. I would get this if I were you!

This sub HITS

I own two of these subs wired at 4 ohms each driven by its own Clarion XR2110 Mono amp. WOW what an awesome combination. They hit so hard. So hard in fact that the screw down terminals loosened and the wires fell out of the sub box. I had to Loctite them down. I totally recommend these subs. They are awesome.

Awesome Subwoofers

I bought two Alpine subwoofers 6 months ago and they still work great with no flaws whatsoever... nice clean and powerful bass, nice looking and sexy. I would recommend this subwoofer to anyone looking for more bass in their car!

musical

Very musical. Responsive. Not the best for bass but i haven't blown it yet. i like it.

Excellent low bass

I put a pair of these Alpine subwoofers in a very sturdy homemade vented (a.k.a. ported) enclosure built to Alpine's "optimum vented box" dimensions from the user's manual. They are both driven by a 600-watt Alpine mono amp. The bass is very powerful and clean to well below 30 Hz. I would definitely recommend these subwoofers.

Awsome speaker

I havent blown them yet so there one heck of a speaker! Plus, they look really cool...

NOT SO GREAT

i had these subs once before and there not as good as they might seem i guess for the price u pay its a decent sub but if your lookin for something that bumps hard look at the type R or X cause this thing doesn't satisfied very well even with a 1400 watt amp split between the two!

nice

These subs really surprised me for what I paid, in combination with a 300watt mono amp. They hit extremely hard and sound clear as day. I am completely happy with my purchase and will buy alpines for my next truck as well but maybe upgrade to type rs to run a bigger amp.

great subs

I have 2 of these and have had them for about 2 1/2 years now. I have them hooked up to an alpine mono amp in a sealed enclosure. I play them as loud as i can every day and they still deliver amazingly smooth yet extremely loud sound. I Will be getting these again.

Great all around sub

I'm running a single 10" type-s paired with an MTX4002 (400rms) in a sedan. The sub puts out a great range of bass. It's nothing that will rock the block (with one), but offers a great amount of bass for all music styles. I've had it for about 6 months now of some fairly heavy use and it's handled it all marvelously.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable all-around GREAT sounding sub.

Excellent product

This is great material and is very easy to put on with a heat gun!

Great package deal value.

I recieved this as part of a package deal. It is enough to cover the lid of my 98 Civic sedan trunk. This will clean up the sound of your lows by decreasing noise (rattles, distortion of sound, etc). This is the first step in noise reduction and everybody should start here.

I doubt it will create a noticable increase in sound from your speakers.

Very flexible, sticks like crazy! Easy to work with.

Great Price and Product

I found the price great for the product I got. Installation was very easy, product sticks very well (Remember to clean/prep the surface). I noticed a difference right away in my music as well as overall noise level while driving on the highway (Doors done - trunk is next). Not the thickest sound dampening out there but it def. helps :)

The battle against rattle

Got the sound dampening door kit with some speakers, the installer put it on the rear deck of my vehicle where my two rear speakers and factory sub are. The difference is night and day, expensive but quality, good to get with speakers or a sub.

Greats Subs...Especially For The Price!

I have 2 of these subs hooked up to a Kicker 10ZX400.1 Amp. They are in a MTX Thunderform Enclosure in my Supercab Ford Ranger. I am amazed with the sound quality, and couldn't be happier. I have always been a fan of Alpine products, but these are my first set of Alpine subs. They play all types of music extremely well.

Nice Sub

Well made sub and interested me because it was a little more shallow than others. Tucked in a box under the back seat in my F150 w/no problems.

Decent

For the price it is satisfactory. Good with High and mid bass, not so great with the lows.

Perfect

I have installed a pair of these in my element with a small apline mrx-m50 amp about 6 months ago and these subs still have the same great sound quality. They fill my car with great bass after properly tuned. These are perfect for open cabs for most suvs. These won't be rattling the glass of the houses you drive by but they make your car wobble. These sws are great for someone who wants a moderately priced sub and yet have power to them. Aplines are made to last and thats true to their reputation. Sonic Electronix did a great job shipping them to me with nothing damaged.

Totally Bit#%&@

When you can make the mirrors in an f350 shake or the passengers feel like they just stepped out of the message parlor, you definitely have something going good, like good ol' fashioned BASS that makes ya feel worm and tingly inside.
built my own box and stuck these bad betty's in my truck and for a super crew cab these just plain rock the block.....
go getchya a pair and put a smile on your face:-)

Really nice for a "budget" subwoofer

I really like this sub woofer, it is very well put together. It can hit hard and it is powered by compact class D putting out 500 watts rms. I have it tuned to put out 70 hz and below. Its frame and magnet structure is more conventional than its larger and more $$ big brothers but sound wise it is very good if you don't have the space or the budget for one of the Alpine big boys. I think it is a great investment.

Great "little" sub

I love this sub. I have a 96 Chevy 1500 standard cab truck. I had to build 2 custom boxes to go behind the seats and the only subs that I found to fit were these Alpines. Shallow mount depth, great power handling, flexible installation options with the dual voice coils, look great, and still hit hard and clear like a higher priced sub. I have a Boss Phantom PH2.800 amp pushing 260 watts RMS @4 ohms to each sub wired in series. Sounds great. Great buy for first sub or someone on a budget.

Not bad

What do you say about a box? It's not bad it has held together very well with my 2 ten inch JL audio subs. Wish I got a ported box, but for the price how can you say no. Overall I enjoy it as much as you can enjoy some wood and carpet.

Good For the money

I would definitely buy again. Overall the build quality was good and solid. The only problem I saw was that the terminals were almost green with corrosion and had to be cleaned with a wire brush to get good connectivity. Unfortunately they are now no longer gold but at least they work good now.

Great sound for the box!

Excellent sound box. The bass pounds like none other!

Mediocre

The box itself is great. However the terminals themselves really are not that great. They come loose frequently and i keep having to unscre the subs to reconnect the clips. I bought new terminals instead. Other than that, great price and wuality from the box.

nice box

Great box for the price. Its perfect for your everyday use. I got 2 Kickers in it and cant turn it all the way up with readjusting my mirriors.

great value

When i can buy a box for the same price for me to build it, and the same material, it a great buy and less head ake. Great little box!

Solder does wonders

For the people complaining about having to reconnect the terminals to the posts why don't you either crimp them on so they're tight or just solder it?? It's a solid box, made of good material, and a great value. You can always remove the terminal cup and not the sub if this becomes a problem for people who haven't crimped or soldered it yet.

Nice Box

My customer was very happy with the cost and quality.

Good Deal

I bought this as part of a package for my Son for christmas and the box is very nice and solid. If I had anything bad to say about it is that it is a little heavy compared to other boxes I've had.

Slightly dissapointed but not because of quality

O.K. so after receiving everything I purchased from SE, I put a hole in my box and wired up 2 svc 4ohm 10's in parallel down to 2ohm. Got everything together and installed without any problems for the most part but 5 days later my subs cut off. I thought I had blew my amp already after 5 days (checked all fuses and wires) and was pissed off, went and bought a new one from the pawn shop.

Took the new amp from the pawn shop home and hooked it up, alas still no bass. This meant that my only other option was something came disconnected in the box (I didn't feel like unscrewing my subs from box to check prior). So I opened up the box and low and behold the slide on connectors that attach to the box terminals somehow came disconnected. This is the second time now it's happened (just had to reconnect them today which prompted me to leave this review on the box). I should not have to freaking unscrew my subs every other week to reconnect my box terminals.....
