Summary
I am a huge car audio enthusiast. Ever since my first car back in 1997, I have been trying to push the envelope on what my vehicles can do. My very first car, a 1995 Mustang started out with the most simplistic of sound systems, featuring a floating...
Strength
high quality sound, hard hitting bass, extremely durable
Weakness
none really.
Bottom Line
One of the only subwoofers that would take a militia to stop them from working. Extremely durable, high quality sound, makes these subwoofers impressive!
Introduction Get ready for some impressive sound from a relatively small package with the Alpine Type R 12" dual voice coil subwoofer. I have owned several different subwoofers from several different makers, and used them in a variety of...
Strength
Loud, powerful sound, clean and accurate, built to last, and priced to sell
Weakness
Do NOT underpower. Buy a real amp, or get a type E instead.
Bottom Line
Built to last, great sound, great price, this sub will impress the heck out of you without taking all your trunk space.
Just got it installed yesterday in a Q-logic box powered by the Alpine MRD-M605 mono sub amp. It sounds great. plenty of bass if not to much! But then, thats what the make the bass knob for, turn it up on some songs, turn it down on others. Great sub and...
I recently just bought an alpine 12 inch , , type R sub woofer, with the ALPINE box and a mono block 605 alpine amp. If u want attention, this is the product for you. In my ford probe , the whole car shakes and the bass is very tight and clean. Stock...
Strength
Tight clean bass, 500 RMS!!!!
If u have 2 u will not need any more!
Its a nice little for the 120 bucks it costs. Defiantly gets louder than most 200 dollar subs and can handle more power than a majority of subs. Ive ran both of mine of 3000 watts daily and they are fine. Sound pretty good and get really loud. If your in...
Strength
Loud, Good Power Handling, Not complicated
Weakness
Lacks a bit of sound quality but otherwise nothing
I hit a 150.3 (New Audio Control mic and outlaw mode) with one of these in a 3cu foot box(slot ported) in a extended cab 98 s10 and a 300 wrms pioneer amp. Tone burps were 3 sec long @ 38hz. In the USACI i hit a 138.4 on the Turnlab mic in full...
Strength
Very loud, excellent construction and very low and perfectly controlled bass.
I recently purchased this subwoofer and installed it in my 1993 Honda Accord. I have it running off of an 800 watt 2 channel amplifier, one channel per voice coil, and I must say this single 12" hits harder than anyone else's stuff I have come accross...
My friend used to have the 15" for this Type R and it was an excellent sub, you can hear him from a block away whenever he has it turned up. Great sub though all...
Strength
very hard hitting bass, great price for an excellent sub
Alpine is a very trusted brand so the subs are very nice quality. Once they get broken in they can be turned up really loud and sound amazing. It makes a really good song 10x better. The bass makes the music feel 3-D. The sound quality is amazing, it's...
Strength
Good quality, reliable, loud, meet expectations well
I bought 1 12' instead of 2 10's, and I LOVE it! Takes up less space than 2 subs and gives just as much sound. It's not loud and "rattle your brains out" kind of sound, either. It's smooth and gives just enough of a kick to make any type of music...
