Alpine SWR1242D Review

Very nice driver for sealed boxes

★★★★★
5.0

"I purchased the Alpine 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm Subwoofer (SWR-1242D), on a whim, after attending a concert. The concert sound was so incredibly powerful. I thought it might be fun to try to duplicate the dynamic feel of the live experience (though, not necessarily the volume level, which was chest …"  Read Full Review »

Alpine SWR1242D Review

Awesome.

★★★★★
5.0

"I knew what I was buying right from the brand of the product. I did my research between the different models of subwoofers Alpine offers, Type-E, Type-R etc... and I came up with the decision to own a 12" Type-R. It seemed like the perfect sub with the specifications for what I'd need. I purchased j …"  Read Full Review »

★★★★★

Alpine does it Again

★★★★★
5.0

"Thease Subs are Absolutely amazing. They are the loudest 12's I have ever heard, no joke you can be heard from a BLOCK AWAY. They have very clean bass hits that will vibrate everything in the car, including your hair. I put 2 into my '86 Firebird and they bang! Mine are hooked up with a Rockford Fos …"  Read Full Review »
