5.0 out of 5 stars This sub is great, July 15, 2007
By Tyler_9_2 (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Been bassin for about 15 years, May 5, 2008
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.
