Type-R Series 12″ Subwoofer
There is not a single thing wrong with this sub. The sound quality is perfect and when you want it to, it will blow you away with smooth powerful bass. I have it wired to an alpine MRP-M650 amp and it sounds perfect. It’s actually better than the two twelves I had before. The best thing about this is the price, you can’t beat it. Trust me, I did a lot of shopping before I picked this one. I listen to a lot of rock, techno and some rap. This sub sounds great with it all. I highly recommend it. The bass is deep and is definitely clean. Don’t get me wrong, this thing does have the power to bring the apocalypse but that is why you can adjust your amp to your preference. Tyler – Detroit, MI
The Alpine Type-R. Where do I begin? I’ve been in the car audio scene before I could legally drive. I am now 30 years old and still enjoy it. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few subwoofers that outclass the Type-R in my opinion. The Kicker L7s and the JL Audio W7s, but for the price… they can’t be touched. I can’t believe someone would put these under Audiobahn. The Alpine Type-R will not fall apart, blow, or distort if matched with the proper amp and wired correctly. I was so impressed that now I am now curious if something for a $100 sounds so good, what do the Type-Xs sound like? Might have to buy a pair and find out. If you seriously want a great and powerful system for under a thousand dollars, go with the Type-R as your subs. Don’t cheap out and go Audiobahn, Lanzar, Soundstream, Sony, or any other cheaply priced and manufactured subs. Those subs are priced under 50 dollars for a reason. Elena M. Allen – Amazon.com
