Alpine R-W12D2 R-Series 12" Subwoofer with Dual 2-ohm Voice Coils

Very good and well built subs worth your time. It shows as the older model of alpine Type r but it's actually the newer style. It even has the price of the old version. Best seller for these type r out there. (I bought 2) these subs will flex your car or truck super hard. Very good subs!

I have owned many many subs and built many boxes. At first I was slightly disappointed with them in my old box at a fairly universal 4 net cubes tuned to 32 hz. They hit lows great but were very muddy sounding with transient responses and had a sharp upwards roll off. I went against everything I’ve known and made a factory spec box, mimicking the halo box alpine makes, at 1.4 cubes per sub at 35hz. Well, it sounds amazing!! Even my wife said wow that sounds really good! I will admit they don’t hit the super super low shirt flapping notes, but how often does music really have that? It’s actually a great advantage to have subs that perform in a very small ported box, taking a minimum space footprint. Again if want ultra low bass, look at other options. But for a very very well rounded SQ oriented sub above entry level quality, I highly recommend these.

No dislikes, one like that I did have was it came beautifully packaged, the design of the sub itself is awesome and I can not express how good the bass is for the value. Alpine outdid theirselves with the R-Series. Thanks AVLeaders for the awesome shipping time, and outstanding packaging. Will be ordering more from them!

I replaced my JL 10” W3v3’s with a pair of these and I must say that my JL’s have a WAY better sound quality to them. Yes you get a little more boom out of the 12” alpines vs the 10” JL’s but the JL’s just sound way more crisp and definitely more solid sounding while still getting a pretty big hit from a couple of 10”s. Both were in a ported box mind you. But for the price point it was worth giving the 12’s a shot but JL’s are just hard to beat. From my understanding alpines quality control is pretty much non existent anymore as where the JL’s have loving hands that assemble each and every one. Now I just have to figure out how to sell my alpines lol.

Very good subwoofer and punchy bass. Does really good in regular sized enclosures as it requires less space than other suds. I was able to get it for a decent price versus other online vendors. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.

I've always like the type R it hits so hard will never buy a different brand

I’ve purchased the same item twice and I’ve gotten an defective item each time

Package was shipped promptly and safely. Easy setup
