Ridiculous bass
The Alpine Type-R subwoofers kick like no other. They are accurate, loud, and they have the ability to shake the rear-view mirror of the car next to you, and move your own.
Decent subwoofer overall...
This is a quality sub that performs well and i have experienced no problems with it. I am a little disappointed however, it doesn't have the mind blowing power that one might expect from such an expensive model. Generally, all alpine products i own have lived up to their hype, but i don't notice a big difference between this sub and the one i replaced, which was a sony...

Nicest set of subs I ever owned the bass is tight and punchy and has an overall warm feel to the system, matched these with alpine type r 17ls components and the sound is seemless between the speakers.

Generally, all alpine products i own have lived up to their hype, but i don't notice a big difference between this sub and the one i replaced, which was a sony explode medium range model. I assumed that this alpine would blow away the older sony explode but in reality, i can't notice a lot of differences. I think that this alpine is built well and should last a long time. If i was asked to pay the retail price of 200$ for this model however, i think i would look into buying a different sub.

Well, i've always been a kicker fan. However when one of my friends hooked up his 2 ALPINE TYPE-R subs to an MTX 1500Watt amp in his old suburban. I WAS BLOWN away litterally. these things kick like no other. awsome buy and for the price WHAT A DEAL!!! im even thinking of getting only 1 for my toyota tacoma. its a little powerful for such a small truck but these things ROCK! if any1 has any comments to make on the merchant selling these subs plz advise me if they are legit!

man these subs slam. i have them hookt up to a 500 watt mono-channel bazooka amp, and it pounds. i dint think that it would be enuf to push these but i was wrong. the subs are in a bandpass enclosure and they are sitting in the back of my '05 tahoe. so far i am very satisfied with these subs.

Wow! Alpine really blew it on this one. Had it hooked up to a infinity reference mono, pushing 457 rms. The sub is rated at 500 rms, but after 2 weeks the sub fried. Got a replacement, and what do ya know, second sub fried. Now i have the amp hooked up to sony xplod 1300 watt, and bumpin with no problems at all.
Overall, this sub is not worth the price tag, and everyone who has been in my car has said the xplod hits way harder than the type r did.
