Great box but it's to big

The following review is for BBX212BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I would recommend this product, I like it alit except it's to big to fit in my trunk and had to put it in my back seat, so make sure you measure before you buy a box

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.

Box and it slams. I was surprised cause that's really nota big box. Imagine

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.

bass shaking, hard hitting, deep low traveling bass by far!!!!!

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.

great, pretty 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.

The following review is for BBX212BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Sounds good for a prefab box but if you want to get the best out of your speakers build a box to there spec's but for the cheap subwooffers I put in this box for a buget build I did for my sister this box is great.

Great box with room for small improvements

The following review is for BBX212BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I put a pair of Alpine Type R's in here and they sounds great! The box came in perfect condition, and on time. One of the first things I noticed was the wire terminal seemed to be pretty low quality, but are mounted very well. The pictures don't show this, but mine came with a logo screwed in on the corner of the blue/front part of the box. The only BIG con is that the port is very rough and sharp. Overall this is a good box and I do not regret putting this hefty chunk of goodness in my trunk.

Belva BBX212BL (BLUE)

The following review is for BBX212BL, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This box is amazing. Pros: It is a very nice box, has very nice terminals on the side of the box, and is very well built and very strong. Cons: It is pretty heavy but that is because it is so strong and well built, and because it has the white stuff lining the inside makes it hard to get the terminals out to wire them.

My 12” Memphis subs wouldn’t fit without taking the rubber from around it to sit in the box properly.
