Alpine SWS-1243D

Awesome subwoofer!!

I purchased this sub about 7 months ago as a replacement for my blown hifonics sub. The difference is amazing. Just the weight of the magnet alone was nearly doubled compared to the cheap hifonics sub. It hits hard, clearly, and accurately. I only have it hooked up to a Kicker ZX300.1 amp and this thing really puts out the power. With the gain only turned up between halfway and three quarters, it makes the hair on my head stand whenever I pump out tunes. It's very good quality and made exceptionally well. I purchased it for $80 from s
SonicElectronix and I can say that I will definitely buy from them again. Shipping was very quick as well!

Best Subs E ver

Great subs! I put them in a truck which has very limited space and the low profile fit the truck and they still hit really hard!

Good for trucks

Amazing sub for trucks had two of these in a single cab s10 and it was loud enough to flex my wind shield a little for not even breaking the hundred dollar mark these are by far the best for the money truck subs around for cars however I would recommend upgrading to type r's both however are very very good subs.

alpine type s

These subs work very well I would recommend them to any1. I have two in my Cobalt right now that are very underpowered and they still bang. I like then so much I'm buying two more. I def very pleased

Ok sub

Ok sub….for a couple of months. I was very pleased when I got the sub. Pretty shallow mount and you don’t need a big box. I had it running off a MTX JH300 so it wasn’t getting a whole lot of power but still fried the voice coils in about 6 months.

Good Sub, Awful for my Amp

The subwoofer sounded like the greatest thing to ever sit in the trunk of my car. However, the only problem was that when wired in parallel, my Alpine MRP-500 overpowered the amp. After about 2 months (as mentioned in another review) it burned out. Use a less powerful amp and hope for great results.

awsome subs!!!!!

these subs are awesome i love them i've herd many subs before and ive installed several different brands and so far i like the alpines the best a friend of mine bought a set of the Type-R's and they were insane i couldnt even stay in his truck when he would turn them up. they wer a bit much for me so i took it a step down with the Type-S's and im still extremely impressed for only being 300 rms each there awesome and they take one HELL of a beating i have them in a sealed box hooked up to a 900 watt rms audiobahn A16000V at 4ohm and they POUND!!!!!!! i cant turn the gain up more then a 1/4 of the way cause i cant keep my rear view mirror on lol i would recomend these to anyone looking for a great sub at a great price. i promise if u have these things hooked up to a good amp you wont be disappointed

Alright subs

I had 2 of these in a sealed box for about 4 months hooked up to a Alpine MRP-M500. About a month ago one of them blew and the other has been producing a burnt smell even when the gain is low. I would recomend these subs to someone who wants sound quality over volume.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan these things hit

I have 3 of these in 96 camry and wow is all i can say they have great response to lows and can handle any bass line you throw at it. i recomend theses in a ported box i have them in a sealed box but i know once i get my ported box it will be 2xs louder

holy crap

these subs pound and i mean pound i hooked them up to 4 ohm 300 watts to each sub and they blew my old memphis out of the water and then i hooked them up to two ohm 600 to each and holy crap they give my brothers alpine type r a run for there money dont buy anyother sub these will do the job and a lot more when i turn them up my eyes get blurry and i cant even use my mirrors my change in my cup holder moves around.. also they are small so they fit in my reg cab ranger just fine. the price is crazy cheap nothing comes close to these price rang
