Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Alpine R-Series subwoofers received positive reviews with most praising their sound quality, sleek design, and value for cost. However, a few found the quality not up to the standard of some other brands. The product really shines when factoring in the right box, and it fits well in smaller enclosures.

Pros

  • 🎵 Superior sound quality, particularly when placed in a factory-spec box.
  • 📦 Fits well in smaller, regular-sized enclosures.
  • ⚡ Packs a decent punch of bass and operates in a minimum space footprint.
  • 💰 Great value for the cost.

Cons

  • 😕 Some users found the sax sound muddy with certain settings and in certain boxes.
  • 🔊 It might not hit extremely low bass notes.
  • 🔝 Some users felt that other brands offered better sound quality.

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a subwoofer that offers great sound quality, fits perfectly in smaller spaces, and is a valuable purchase, buying the Alpine R-Series is a solid choice. However, if super low bass and the crispest sound quality is a higher priority, you may want to explore other options as well.


  • Amazing sub priced at a great value
The Alpine Type R second gen sub is a great sounding sub that works well in small enclosures. I needed a sub for my Dodge Ram under seat enclosure that would provide deep bass with sound quality to match and these Type Rs did not disappoint. What was even more surprising is that these are the latest model Type R subs but the price and description is for an older version. I'm glad I bit the bullet and purchased when I did. I see that the price of these subs have increased to $449 per sub!! They have a few left at the current $219 sticker price, so I would buy now if interested. ... show more

  • Best subs you can get for this price. And these don't preform cheap at all!
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!

  • Amazing SQ, needs the proper box!
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. ... show more

  • Yes and no
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. ... show more

  • Awesome subwoofer! Absolute upgrade for me! Thanks AVLeaders!
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! ... show more

  • Awesome sub
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.
