Alpine SWR-1042D

Nice

This Alpine Type R is nice i have it with a kole audio amp 980w but it gives me 800w rms. I also have it with a epicenter and a equalizer and a capacitor and i have an amp for the speaker doors. This thing is loud Oh and i have a custom box for it and that box is a beast..it it louder than 2 12 cvrs and 2 15 memphis. this 10 makes my whole dash move

Very nice...

Once I pulled this out of the box I was very impressed with the build quality, not surprised, but impressed none the less. Sub definitely needs to broken in, cone is very stiff when new. Sound is incredible, very clean, tight bass. Wouldn't recommend for those looking for wide, boomy bass. Although with the right equipment and box probably could fulfill those needs as well. Make sure not to under power, fairly power hungry. However, when powered right, very nice.

pretty good

These subs pound pretty good for the price, but you get what you pay for. if your on a budget then these would be a good choice. I would recommend these to anybody who is looking for a good sub at a decent price

Decent

For the money I have few complaints. I am used to larger subs(12-15) and this is not like those. The audible bass is loud and clean but its not shaking the car next to me. Which is what I was looking for when I bought only one of these. I installed it in a .6^2ft box and am happy to have most of my trunk back to being useable.

Underpowered and still kills

I have one of these in a sealed box at 2 ohms hooked up to an Alpine MRP-M500. The sub is a little bit underpowered but it still hits ridiculously hard. I am definitely going to get a second one of these. The value is amazing.... Similar Kicker and RF's are more expensive and don't have as good of specs. In my experience with Alpine, you'll get what you expect plus much much more.

Alpine SWR-1043D

I replaced my 12" Sony Xplod in a sealed box with this Alpine SWR 1043D in a new ported box and this sub hits twice as hard as my Sony! Looking forward to purchasing another soon. Pros: Great sound for a awesome price! Cons: None

Alpine SWR-1043D

Great speakers. I absolutely love them! Great deal! Thanks again!

good buy

thing pounds. make sure you have very durable box cause this thing will tear it up its almost ridiculous if you are pushing 600 true rms into it. i bought two but am only able to use one cause otherwise i cant hear anything for rest of day

BUY THIS SUB

I am SQ guy and had a 8" RE & then Infinity. Could not get exactly what I was looking for with the 8". Read a lot on 1042d and it got great reviews. The new upgrade interested me. Bought sub and Alpine mono amp to run DVC @ 2 ohms. It sounds awesome and will run you out of car if you wanted it to.
Pro: Great sub. Great in a .75cu' sealed box. Running -2 on Pioneer 4200dvd.
Con: Trying to find one.

Alpine SWR-1043D

I would recommend this sub to anybody. I had it in a crew cab Chevy Colorado in a sealed box. The sub hit all the notes well and deep. There's more than enough power there for me And I listen to mainly rock and some rap. The design of the subwoofer is great as well, very well built and the mounting depth was perfect for what i was looking for. I love it and will buy another if this one ever gives out!!!
