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!

True 1/0 gauge!

Swapped out my old 4 ga db link amp kit with these tsunami wires and noticed an improvement instantly! These wires are monsters and still extremely flexible. Their a bit hard to solder since the jacket melts. But for the price this is the only wire I know of thats 100% ofc and not copper clad alluminum. Its the real deal and for the price its a steal.

one of the best

i have had this wiring kit for three years and it is still powering my audio like the first day i put it in.

Great kit

This is probably one of the most reasonably priced 0 gauge ofc kits on the market. Supplies plenty of juice to my mtx 1500w rms amp. Best deal I found and is superb quality. Been using it for 6 months and couldn't be happier.

tsuami amp01bl amp kit

Very satisfied with product. When it comes to quality a quality amp kit with a quality car system, you want the best for. The best sound quality. Even after a year I find that tsunami is my favorite. no problems. AT ALL! Sonic Electronix was very professional and prompt with the delivery. I would Definately recommend them to all my friends. Why buy them at a store when you can buy them from sonic electronix where the quality is so much better for a better price. I'm not the one to give reviews but I thought it was the appropiate way of showing my satisfaction.

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.

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

awesome amp kit for the price
pros tinned oxygen free copper wire
true spec awg
CEA compliant
cons
none

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 wire

Great kit for the price. True 0ga wire. Could use a longer ground wire and I had to upgrade to a 300a fuse. Wire is sturdy but very pliable and looks great!

get the job done

Installed a 2500w rms amp with a shuriken skbt10 in a friends car and seems to do a good job. Definitely will buy tsunami wiring kits again.

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.

tsumani 0 gauge wiring kit is the best

This kit came with everything needed to install like a pro

Type R Alpine

Very solid sounding bass hits very hard

PERFECT

kicks a** everything fit perfect this is what you need if your running more then 1000 watts

very good

Puts power to amp very well and looks good.

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.

Awesome Wire

Have had more than one of these kits and this wire is awesome!

Great Value

Great product as always from Tsunami... Great Price and fast shipping from Sonic Electronix.

Good value

Bought this because of the price. Worked out well. Tsunami gives you enough wire to run it all except for the ground cable is a little short. Coupled this with the big three upgrade kit, HO alternator and a yellowtop battery. No dimming lights and no dropping of deep notes. I would also recommend upgrading the fuse. Its only 250 amp.

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.

Its a great deal

It's a very nice package. The power and ground cable are 0 gauge it is what it says it is. The fuse holder is nice and solid. Everything I buy from SonicElectronix is top quality and fast delivery. I will only buy from Sonicelectronix!

Nice Install kit

The power wire is blue and has a nice connector on one end and the ground is like a clear with a connector on one end also. I really like the fuse block. On my last system I had one of the glass fuse setup's and had the solder that holds the metal bar on the inside of the fuse melts before the fuse actually blows. It took me a while to figure out the fuse went bad cause it didn't look blown. Overall if you have big amp and need some 1/0 gauge wire this is the kit to get.

tru power and class

This amp takes 12v at 200amps and turns it into 35amps at 80v output into 1ohm load thats basicaly a dead short to most amplifiers this will eat that. at .75ohm it will do 2695watts 24/7. mine was tested we left it on the bench for 3 weeks 2 days and said f it..... HELP I CANT KILL IT

Great Price And Kit

All I have to say is I really love the service that SonicElectronix provide with the fast shipping and all. Also the product is as what they said you would get and the power it kicks out and provide is beyond excellent!!! Thanks SonicElectronix, you have a loyal customer here.

Great Amp Kit

This amp kit is a FANTASTIC bang for your buck. Wire isnt cheap, and it flexes very easily. Top notch all around. Biggest let down is that it does NOT include RCA's.

Awesome wire for the price

gave it 4 stars on features because the kit does not come with rcas overall is a great kit true 1/0 n ofc

Great Kit!

Wire is true to guage, all components are sturdy and look great. It's been 6 months and I've had no problems at all. Sonic's shipping is always fast, packages are always very well packed to prevent damage and the order is always accurate. This is a fantastic company with fantastic products and prices!

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.....

Great Combo

I purchased this because it was an all inclusive bundle, I am a HUGE fan of Alpine products and it was within my budget. When I first installed it, the amp kept shutting off at loud volumes. After further inspection, I determined my wiring wasn't up to par. I got a Yellow Top and did the big3 to my wiring and problem solved. I can push this amp all day and it won't quit!!! The subs sound amazing and this amp is a power hungry beast!!! Great value, great products, just make sure your electrical system is ready for the abuse.
