Alpine SWR-12D4 1-Way 12 Inches Car Subwoofer

About this product

Product Information

To get the full bang out, booming bass that rocks you in the car, you may need one or more good subwoofers. The Alpine SWR-12D4 Subwoofer can be a perfect choice. Car sound system fans are famously demanding when it comes to their sound systems. There may be no better way of adding serious power to any system type than installing this quality subwoofer. This piece can perform even outside its maximum capacity. Alpine has long been recognized as a leader in car stereo sound. This beast of a subwoofer is the example that only helps prove the rule. Having a high performance system and quality amps aren't always enough. You need to have good coverage of the mids and bass. With 1000w of continuous pounding sound (with a peak power capacity of 3000w), make sure you have the right accessories. This is where a high performing amplifier is most important, to push it properly. This single type R subwoofer is powerful enough to outperform others with more than one sub in the system. Even in smaller or larger spaces where bass can get lost, this woofer holds its own. The sturdy Alpine Type-R subwoofers are made with Kevlar treated pulp. This is the material used in bulletproof vests and military soft armor. These subs are built to last long enough to provide years of reliable service. Dual oversized 4 ohm voice coils offer the wiring flexibility. You can appreciate this feature if you ever had to fit a speaker system, especially to wire into a custom box enclosure. These wires can make installation and future expansion easier than ever before. As your stereo system grows, these can remain an important part of the whole. Drivers that like their audio loud and hard can be blown away. This boasts a colossal 1000 watts of RMS power. This level of performance can lead to overheating in some subs. This model has patented Radial Vented VC Heatsink and Airflow Management System. This feature lowers compression and increases the dependable life by moving heat away from the voice coil. This controls the temperature by forcing air directly across the heatsink system created by the single piece aluminum frame. The dimensions are 4.6" deep, 10.9" in diameter, with a 0.10 cubic foot displacement. When mounted in reverse with magnet out, has 0.09 cubic feet of added volume. It has a flexible two piece parabolic design and an even 24-200Hz frequency response. The sound quality in the SWR-12D4 subwoofer is one of those with the a high rating, bar none, for the price point. If you are a fan of full sound music in your car, your search can be over. This fifth generation model of Alpine technology can take your sound experience to the next level. The output that gives tunes their true, packed sound on every level. With the right system, speakers, and amp, you can have a complete live concert sensation while you're on the road. Whether stuck in traffic or taking a cross country road trip, you can have the total package.

  • Amazing sub

    I've been through a lot of subs. I buy a lot of cars and when I sell them I like to leave a sub in for the new owner and for the price you cannot beat it. I won a w7 12 and a FI 12 and both are amazing but not cheap. These type r's hit hard for a fraction of cost and to a regular fan of car audio you will probably not hear the difference between these and the higher end subs. I have one type r with a jl 1000 wired at 2ohms and I'm satisfied. Hard hitting clean bass I have it in a jl ported box. Best bang for your buck for a low cost build. I haven't even broken it in yet I'm sure the guy buying my chevelle will be happy and won't even notice I took out my w7?
