Product Description

ALPINE SWR-1242D 12" TYPE-R 3000W SUBWOOFERS New 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 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. 12" Dual 4 Ohm Type R Series Subwoofer Power Handling: Peak: 1500 watts RMS: 500 watts Impedance: Dual 4 ohms Parabolic Kevlar reinforced pulp fiber cone woofer High Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) Santoprene surround HAMR Surround integrates a concealed mount gasket for Alpint Type-R grille Custom Cast Aluminum Frame with Integrated Perimeter Venting and Heat Transfer Plate Cast aluminum perimeter vented heat transfer frame Compound Radius Curve (CRC) Motor structure Spiral cut aluminum former with high temperature DVC Winding Radial Vented VC Heat sink and Airflow Management System Mirrored progressive Nomex Spiders with reinforced layer integrated tinsel leads Insert push terminals with one-sided layout One-sided terminal layout 1-year warranty...

5This sub is great
By Tyler_9_2
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 twelve's I had before. The best thing about 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. Someguy (the other reviewer) either needs to tune his amp or buy a better one. The bas IS deep and it IS most 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.

5Been bassin for about 15 years
By Elena M. Allen
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. i.e. L7's (kicker), and the W7's (JL) 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 I am now curious if something for a $100 dollars sounds so good what do the type-x's 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's 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. One alternative is power acoustik. We murdered a soundstream demo vehicle during a sound off at a grand opening of a electronics store that is "ultimate" with a power acoustik based system.
