Worth every penny!

Alpine quality and sound at an affordable price! Installed in my '11 Ram 1500 in a custom sealed enclosure wired down to 2 ohms feeding it 600 watts and it just pounds!

Great Value

These sub rock. They have been perfect. A new Alpine design.There like Type Rs on a budget. A pair POUNDS on a mrx m100.

wow

I have a older version of this same sub I got off a guy 2 years ago n I got it running on 900 watts rms n damn it sounds loud as I'm thinking about another with like a 1500 watt amp n then it would b beast mode imma give it 5 stars all around for durability it has to b a 5 since I've had it for 2 years n it's still goes ham like no other

A++++

Clean hard hitting bass. They are shallow but hit hard. Sound awesome with any music. I powered two of them with a big hifonics amp. Would do it again.

Small but good

This 10" sub is just like its bigger brother, the R. sounds good in mu custom fiberglass box. 400 rms at 2ohms is just right.

Great Value

I had these Subs over 6 months now great sounding subs.. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Good sound, and quality

Rattles my trucks mirrors, sounds very nice, good quality but needs a deep box to put it in. Its not a compression sub.

great subs

I love these subs. Great sound and will shake you. You can't get a better sub for the price.

10 inch

For the price it awesome. Sound clear and looks great

nice subs

Subs are well built and pound really hard!! Can't hurt them!

Excellent price for an excellent sub

This sub is extremely durable and can take some power. I am running one of these in my car in a ported box and it hits hard enough to satisfy my needs, without a doubt a great deal!

Very decent speaker

Speaker does what it is expected to do. Sounds pretty good and for the price it is worth while.

Awesome Product!

I always got told to buy alpine and after purchasing this product, I never look at another brand again. Just awesome!

79 Corvette with some "boom"

I bought an aftermarket stereo head unit that is a replica of the old pushbutton style am/fm radio and although it is 200 watts. . . it sounded like a crappy 1979 stereo!
Switched out the 2 fronts with new alpines without having to modify anything, put kicker 6X9's in the rear and they mounted in the same location with a minor adjustment in the holes on the front of the speaker. Tuned it in. . . CRAP AGAIN! So, at the risk of ruining the originality of the car I decided to cut out the passenger side storage compartment that holds the jack. With a jigsaw I cut a hole for the 10" AlpineSWD-10D4 and connected it to a kicker 600 watt amp that is much smaller than most. The AMP fits below the Sub in the storage compartment and because the Sub is connected to a hinged door it is really simple to get to the AMP to make adjustments. "BOOM" this little red corvette thumps with the tuners who are packin big dual 12's because the car is so compact. Any C-3 Corvette owners who enjoy music as much as a sporty ride need to invest in this type of setup because the Sub is flush mounted and wont interfere with storage of the T-Tops.

Great sub

Added this to my 2013 mustang (base) paired with the Power Acoustik 2500w 5ch amp and a sealed box and it makes my metal sound great.

Great build quality, great looks, great sound. Love this sub!

not bad not good

I have this sub in a 1.3 cube sealed box with a Alpine M-500 pushing it and with the amp turned half way up, bass boost all the way down this sub CLIPS like crazy!

Great Sub

These subs hit like a set of JL Audio W3s which are about 3 times more. Very shallow mount depth which is good for behind the seats in a truck (like mine) I custom built 2 sealed boxes for them at about .65 cubic feet each and they hit great. Loud and clear. I am pushing 260W RMS to them and they can handle much more. Love them and would recommend them to anyone

wow

Impressive!

This is the first Alpine sub I've installed. More often than not I try to go with JL but this system was built on a budget.

The quality of the subwoofer is what I found most impressive. You can tell Alpine took the time to craft this jewel. Doesn't seem cheap at all and produces decent bass for the price. It won't rattle your eyeballs loose but will certainly add some depth to any system without overpowering even stock components. Overall for the price, it's a damn good value.

Hmmm, think again

This driver has a defined rattle to it. I've had it in a sealed and a ported box both matched to it in specs. It is underpowered at the moment and I have given up on locating the source of the rattle. Now it's time for another brand.

wow.

Got these subs in a sound ordnance ported box and WOW do they freaking slam. I have them on an Alpine mrp-m650 giving them 600 watts and they couldn't be happier. These are so loud, clear, and punchy. I love them.

Strong Subs

Alpine has always been top of the line in subs and this one is no different. I have it standing alone in my trunk and provides the perfect amount of boom. These subs can pack a punch.

last about 4 months

I bought 2 of them and had them boomin for about 4 months. Then one just stopped working. Customer support is wonderful they gave me credit and got it replaced. Then the other went up in smokes one month after being paired with the replacement. Sent it back then the next day the replacement stopped working. Didnt change any settings on the amp. Will not be purchasing these subs anymore.

Great tight sounding sub!

I have put this sub in two different boxes. One was designed for under the seat and immediately I was underwhelmed at the response of the sub. Having said that the box was only around .45 cubic feet. The second box I designed was around .90 cubic feet and the sub came alive! It's a wonderful sub for snappy quick responses but it does lag a bit on the deep stuff. Perhaps pushing the volume out to 1.2 cubes would be a bit better for the lower frequencies. So, it's a great value and great sound but for a shallow mount sub, it requires a pretty big box.

Great for the money

Just got these about 2 weeks ago and i really must say they hit hard, if you got them set up right and have an powerful enough amp to push them to there fullest 300rms. And for the price of 80 dollers each you cant go wrong, also much better then those sony or rockford subs.

Awesome Sub

This Sub hits clean. I replaced a kicker I owned with this sub and I couldn't be happier. I have it powered by a kenwood 500 rms amp and it drives it good. Sub hits all the lows I need.

LOUD and Powerful

I have this Sub hooked up to the Kenwood KAC-5001PS amp wich has 500 rms as well. I must say this sub rocks!!!!!!!!!!! When ever I have friends in the car they constantly thing I have a big 12" sub. IM very impressed with this and its make by alpine so no need to worry about quality. Great Job alpine and sonic for the customer service.

GREAT VALUE

Excellent subwoofers for the price and very durable.

Great sound at a great price

At first I was unsure of whether the Alpine PDX5 amplifier would power two 1043D's enough to produce decent bass in my sedan. I was pleasantly surprised by the volume and by the frequencies that this combination could achieve. I prefer clear and balanced music in my vehicle over making myself deaf and these subs achieved my goal. Combined with the Imprint processor, Alpine has caused me to want to listen to all my favorite songs over again because I have never heard them sound this great. This sub is great for mid-level price consumers who aren't looking to win any stereo competitions but appreciate cranking music on a trip or at the beach. Loud enough to irritate the neighbors.

alpine

Loved it! Sounds great hits good and the price is cheap!

awesome

Great delivery time great product .. sounds reaallyy good in the back of my 1500 planning to purchase an amp soon.

Works great

I bought this to replace the factory Rockford Fosgate subwoofer in my 2011 Mitsubishi eclipse GT and it fit right in the factory box and running off of a alpine s-A60M mono amplifier it’s definitely a nice upgrade I can really feel the bass now

Fantastic

Love it, I had the regular 2 ohm single voice coil, glad I’m staying with alpine, can’t go wrong.

By Richard on July 4, 2020 Verified purchase

Still banging

I went from a 2 box set up to a ported box and I LOVE THESE ALPINE. You will definitely get your money’s worth.

3 subwoofers!!!

I absolutely love these things. I bought them because they were pretty cheap and well these things KNOCK!!! I have a HiFi1200.1 to these and well lets just say they use all 1200 watts. My neighbors hate me i make their pictures move when i turn it up!!

Bumpin' Subwoofer

If you are looking for a quality shallow mount sub with great power ratings and sound, this is the one for you.

Top of the line

These subwoofers hit many frequencies low and high very quickly. I would buy these again if myn were stolen. I have two of these running off of a 1600w 2-channel SSL amp and they can handle 1800w max.

1st subwoofer ever Bought . Loudd

I have a Jc power 1000 watts and it bumpps greaaat! Got a vented box with it. Best 10" subwoofer I have ever heard. I could hear more bass than the speakers. I got two of these subwoofers. It thumps so hard that it makes my back rear window shake a little though, and makes my mirror go crazzzzy!

EXCEEDED my expectations

Came from 2 JL Audio 8W3V3s that sounded great but I did not have the space for them in my 2022 M3 but had the room for a single 10. Instead of always going Jl Audio, thought I'd give Alpine a try. The S matched my amp similar to what I had before, running 500w 2 ohm mono and it did not disappoint. Still breaking it in, but already happy with the bass depth and punch of this sub. I dont have a reason to change it out for a JL 10W3V3 because this Alpine S series sub sounds phenomenal. Very happy and perfect complement to the factory Logic 7 HK system in the car

2 Alpine S 10" subs in a 99 Chevy S10 with a Profile 1000W Amp

I recommend. The cab shakes like a club floor on springs when the beast is let loose. I keep the bass boost to 0 or 1 and the sub volume varies per song but they sound great. I got them in a sealed box. You can hear them down the block when my car is parked and blasting.

Bad sound quality

If you're looking for sound quality, you'll have to look elsewhere, this isn't your subwoofer for SQ. It gets loud and boomy, and anyone reviewing this product with 5/5 on everything only cares about volume, but not sound quality. People might write "it shakes my car man" or "it slams so hard" which it does do well. It does get loud indeed if that's what you're looking for in a cheap/value/budget subwoofer. The subwoofer does look nice though, and the material is tough.

Great Value!

Great value. Great customer service. Quick shipping.

Great sound! Shallow mount perfect for a pickup truck!

I put 1-10" under the rear seat of my 2010 Silverado Along with all Polk 6.5's in the doors and a 5 channel Eclipse amp. Sounds great with RMS power. Clean and can go fairly deep for just a single 10". The shallow mounting depth made it easy to find a box for under seat application. Great over all value!

Incredible Value, awesome sound

This sub hits so incredibly well. It is better than most subs with even a few hundred more watts on it. I've heard it at full power and chose to lower it to half for my tiny hatchback! It still rolls down my manual windows and tilts my mirrors. The sound is clear and hits properly at any tested audio range. Highly recommend this product!!!!

Ehh

Honestly it was a little harsh for me I prefer warm clean bad this is higher harsher bass hard to explaine it was not impressive for me try nvx you won't be upset you did

Solid Deal

My audio installer referred me to this sub, mentioned it was comparable to the Type R's of the past. Have this one 10 in a ported box and it booms. Very responsive as well, construction looks great.

Best bang for the money.

I got one of these in my 2007 Suzuki Sx4 hatchback and it sounds great. This 10" sub is more than enough to thump and shake the hatchback. The sub has a very good build quality like we have come to expect from Alpine. Paired with the right amp and enclosure and you have a perfect setup.

Big Bass for a Small Package

Sold sub all around. Be sure to give it plenty of break in time, but overall clean bass for the size. If you don't have a lot of space, this certainly is a great choice!

By Christopher on October 6, 2017 Verified purchase

Boom!

I have two of these wired down to 1 ohm in a ported SoundOrdnance box pushed by a Pioneer GM-D9601 1200 rms @ 1ohm and omg these things are incredible loud and boomy!
Even with my lights dimming in my toyota 4runner it still sounds incredible I can only imagine how much louder it'll be once I do the big 3 and an additional battery. Price on Sonic is a huge bang for your dollar.

Alpine

This type s it hits and sound better than type r

Highly recommend

Great subs

These are great subs for the money. Didn't get to hear full potential out of them due to box I ordered with them. But Great sounding subs

By Josh on October 7, 2024 Verified purchase

Pretty good

I had limited space for a speaker box in my car I had the Alpine 12 R which did not sound that good due to lack of air space. purchase the 10 inch sws model a lot harder hitting and all around better sound .
