Alpine Type R Subwoofers

These incredible subwoofers from Alpine have withstood the test of time and proven themselves to be one of the top subwoofer choices for car audio enthusiasts. The Type R subwoofers are designed and engineered for big bass, as well as a durable sub that will last for many years to come. These woofers use a pulp cone that is reinforced with Kelvar for an incredibly durable and rigid structure. The ribbed multi-roll santoprene surround is designed for excellent response, while assisting in smoother cone movement and excursion. The subwoofer will stay cool under extended hard playing with the unique thermal management system that Alpine designed into the Type R Subwoofer. The tinsel leads are hidden and woven into the dual Nomex spiders for a strong and unbreakable connection. For those looking for an industry standard subwoofer with break-taking bass, consider the Alpine Type-R subwoofer.

Alpine Type-R 12" DVC 2ohm

This is a quality and reliable subwoofer for a good price. Everywhere else I checked this sub was priced at $200, got it here for much less. Have it paired up with an Alpine V-power 500w mono amp and it has handled just about anything i've thrown at it. Good investment for someone looking to add good bass to there ride.

WOW

I recently added one of these in a slot ported box to my system. I have it powered by a Soundstream Picasso PCX1500 running at 1ohm @ 1500 watts RMS and this thing POUNDS! You can feel it from better than 2 blocks away. I would recommend these subs to anyone who want great sounding clear bass!
