My first real system!!

When I got my first ride, a Olds Delta 88, my bro hooked me up with these little guys as a gift, and I never would've thought that they performed they way the did especially in such a big car! No one ever beleived they were entry level Alpine 10's till I showed them my trunk!

I eventually moved to the type r's because I wanted more power, but if your looking for a great sounding woofer, not SPL, you will not be dissapointed in these little guys. Especially with the Sonic pricing that can't be beaten!!!

bumps for a 10

holy s***, i just bought one of these type e 10's and it surprised me.... im only running 150w rms to it and it slams! much much better than the kicker comp 10s i had....alpine has quality for a good price! get this sub you will not regret it! i recommend a sealed enclosure, but thats just me.

Great sound

I have 1 of these in a .75cuft sealed enclosure in the trunk of my '95 240sx and it sounds great. I'm running it off of a MTX Audio TA4252 amp and I couldn't ask for more for the price. I listen to alot of Tool, RATM, etc. and the clarity is excellent. I highly recommend this sub for a cheap solution to decent sound in your daily driver.

GREAT!

Bought 2 in a Basswox box powered by a 600w RMS MTX amp and it POUNDS! Can be cranked really high without any distortion! Very satisfied with this product, the only thing I need now is a capacitor!

LOVE these subs

I bought a pair of these from a friend after he upgraded to a 12" type R and paired them with a 1250 watt power acoustik amplifier. Granted they are a bit underpowered, but they still shake the mirrors like an earthquake. A few of my buddies have kicker comps installed and they pale in comparison. On top of the performance I got a great price and Ive trusted Sonic Electronix for all of my audio purchases so far.

Five 10's

I have SIX 10" Type-E's in a custom ported fiberglass enclosure. I wired them in series/parallel to get a final impedance of 2.8 ohms to a single MRP-450 Alpine Class-D. It is very loud at high volumes while remaining accurate across all sound levels. For the price, they are good entry level woofers. Probably better for sealed, than ported.

OK Enrty Level Sub

I had 2 Polk MOMO 10" SUBS originally and they sounded excellent. I blew the voice coil on one of them so had to buy a pair of new subs. I bought these Alpines based on the reviews on the net. I will start off saying that the Polks were higher quality so I will not compare apples to apples. After about 10 hours of breaking in the Alpines they sounded OK. At higher volume they sounded distorted with music with high bass like Chevelle. They would bottom out making a popping sound. I made the decision to send them back and buy another set of Polks. This sub is OK for those who want a bit of kick in thier system, but not geared for good good bass response at higher levels. I would have rated these at 3, but the price is attractive for those on a budget so I would rate them at 4. Meanwhile while waiting on the new subs, I put my other good polk in a single cabinet and realized that sending the Alpines back was the right choice. The single Polk sounded better than the 2 Alpines. If you want good bass than buy one high quality 10" sub for 130.00 or so, you will be more satisfied then 2 of these puppies.

Good Sub

I liked this sub, I got it just to make my car bump and that's just what it does. I got a nice enclosure and JBL amp from Sonic Elextronix for low price but great value and it was sent in less than a week to my door step.
I wouldn't ever think twice about a different sub maybe just adding one more 10" :)
