sounds great

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Box sounds great. Only problem is the trim ring on the Hifonics subs wouldn't fit without a little grinding.

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Speaker box is very nice the only problem I had was the face plate was to small for my speakers I had to cut a bigger hole so they can fit.So watch out for the size,dimension on this product. I would recommend this product

Great looks with great construction.

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

It's simple and straightforward. The construction is great, and it came securely in another box. Separate ports for each sub. The is the best you're going to get without paying an arm and a leg for a custom enclosure.

Ok..

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Not even a couple days after bumping two gto jbl in it the carpet started to split... But overall I like the bezel- but only because I paid close attention to diameters and measurements of subs I bought compared to this box's measurements. Would be better if they made it to where you could wire in a series the correct way.

Nice box

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Nice box but once I put the speakers in it the front fence of the speaker box wouldn’t fit over the speakers the holes were to small so I had to pay to get the face trimmed

Alpine Subs

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Worked great in my application, always have had good experience with Alpine products. The dual voice coil configuration makes it easy to order what you need to run your subs at 2 ohms.

Great sub and great price!

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Alpine has never let me down. This subwoofer hits extremely hard. I have one powered by an alpine mrv-m500 wired at 4 ohms in a ported box. The amp is only at the normal output power setting and that's all I need. This sub is a great buy for anyone who wants the perfect amount of bass to not drown out the music completely. Don't get me wrong though, this sub is capable of doing that if you want it to.

If u know me I like bass! I have 2 of these in the ground shaker 2 12 sqp
Box and it slams. I was surprised cause that's really nota big box. Imagine
A custom box! Other than that I have it hooked up to a brutis 1200 @ 2 ohms. Good subs.

descent!

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This speaker was second choice in regards of finding one that had high temp voice coils. I hooked it up to class d autotek1500d and dropped ohms to 1. I broke it in over three weeks and then as soon as she started banging good, it blew. It had great sound but maybe sealed box and hot summer day banging didn't go well? Either way can't really be mad it was good just not good enough for my application. Vented boxes keep speakers cooler just don't have that tight low I like so if you like sealed set up then get something that can handle the heat!

Best subs around for the price

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Started with a 10" alpine type E that is now in my girlfriends toyota celica. Bought 2 of these for my car and they sound amazing no matter what style of music im listening to. I couldnt say enough good things about these subs. Extremely satisfied with all alpime products, especially the type S subs.

It Alright

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have owned two of these both have broken on me. Thee first was my fault and the second was a factory issue but would not honor warrenty. They sounded awesome when they worked. I had only one hooked up at a time in a ported box with a alpine mrv500 amp.

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I had just replaced 4 10" orion cobalt subwoofers in a 5 cubic foot box ported at 45hertz. with a sws12d2 subwoofer in a 1.5 cubic foot L vented wedge box tuned at 35.1 hertz. this thing hits as hard as my old 4 orion 10" and hits as low as the 4 10". for the price of this sws you get more then your money's worth!!! this sub slams hard in my hatch back!!! I've been thinking bout getting a sws15d2. don't get me wrong the 12 is loud n hits low. but im a bass head!!!! to the fullest!!!

excellent budget sub

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great service from the guys at sonic electronix as always. Sub is one of the best bangs for the buck. It sounds great paired with my hifonics amp. I can't imagine how it would sound if I built a tuned box

great sub for the price

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The sub works great with my 1200 watt pioneer mono amp, and it thumps hard even when not using 100% of its potential. I would recommend a lower wattage amp, because my amp blows out the sub.

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

this subwoofer is great on my phoenix gold 300.1 at 1 ohm(makes 340 rms at 2 ohms) and it likes high 30 hz to 45hz. recommend to anyone who appreciates sq and a little bump to make your music come alive.

Lotta bass, little money

The following review is for SWS-12D2, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I ordered 2 of these subs for my senior project and boy, i was definitely not disappointed. I built a sealed box to the manufacturers specs and machined it out on a CNC router machine. Whoever said sealed subs don't hit hard definitely hasn't heard these baby's! You can feel the bass in your chest and there's great response with a sealed box with really tight sound. I wired each subs coils in series, to double impedance then parallel together to cut it in half to bring the final impedance to 2 ohms. Im using the hifonics 2000.1D amp tuned to run at 900w rms. These subs really bump for a great price, all the kids say they hear me coming up the school driveway! if you are looking for an ear piercing bass i would build a ported enclosure because im sure these things would perform great in that scenario too. But 2 of these subs in a sealed box tuned to max potential is perfect for what i wanted for daily driving, cant even see out the rearview! these things perform great in a sealed box and have been running cool, they definitely handle the power efficiently. Alpine all the way! i have been recommending the type s's and type r's to all my friends now, these are some of the crispest subs and the tightest bass ive ever heard. I cant speak to the durability because i've only had them for 2 weeks, but after driving for a while i stopped to check how they were doing and the cone wasnt even warm after bumping for hours at 900w between the 2 subs.

GREAT BOX

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great box. It arrived almost an entire week early to my APO box (pretty impressed) and in perfect condition. My Sundown Audio SA 12's fit perfectly in the cutouts. This box slams with the SA's running at 1500w RMS. No port noise and plenty of punch in the lower frequencies. I would definitely recommend this box to anyone running a medium sized setup like mine. I did have a little issue getting it in the trunk of my E39 BMW but nothing to complain about.

This box slams!!!

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is a awesome box well built and very solid worth every penny!!
I put two Sundown Audio subs in it and it slams!!!
I honestly love it so much I am fixxen to order a second one so I can run four 12's in my truck!!
If you don't like rock solid low end bass that makes your car pulsate ,
or bass that hit's so hard it blurs your vision!!
This beautifully well crafted box is not for you!!
I highly recommend this product and Sonic Electronix I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with either!!!

This box is amazing for the low price! if you are looking for a heavy well built box that will shake the rear view mirror slam off your windshield look no further!!
I loaded this beautifully crafted sumbitch with two sundown audio 12's and hit it with 800 watts rms and was blown the hell away!!
I would highly recommend this box to anyone who is looking to shake the pantie's off ya girlfriend or melt down grandpa's hearing aid from 2 block's away!
I will be doing business from hear on out with the fine folk's @ Sonic Electronix !!!!

Awesome Box!

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this peticular box as it was almost spot on for cubic feet for my JL Audio Subs. This thing is built like a tank. The carpet is good quality and the front glossy part shines real nice. If your looking for an inexpensive yet not cheaply built box, this is the one.

Almost perfect

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Bout this box to house two of the new Alpine Type R 12’s. The cut outs on face plate of the box is a little too small for the subs to fit (if you keep the rubber ring surround on the subs). So mounting was difficult. After fighting with it for a while they worked out. Sounds great.

Solid box and it's well built however Rockford Fosgate p1 p2 or p3 subwoofers will not fit the trim around the hole is too small. I had to take off the glossy black faceplate to install the Rockford and it sounds amazing only getting A 4 star do to the faceplate I'm planning on trimming the hole bigger on the faceplate later on.
