Strength:
ALL
Weakness:
None I can think of I have this 10" in a bandpass box and let me tell you this kicks @zz. I went to the store and took 3 different subs in their boxes out to my car to listen to them. Oh by the way the 3 different subs were actually all JL Audio. One was 2 10" , a 12" and 2 12" and let me tell you this Alpine blew them out of the water. JL is over rated in my opinion. Don't get me wrong good subs but for SPL this thing ROCKS. Although I know bandpass box are more for SPL Similar Products Used: JL, Boston Acoustics, and Pioneer |

Strength:
This sub blows away the JL 10W3 D4 I was using. The Alpine hits harder, plays louder and goes deeper. I'm using it in a JL Audio Vantage Stealthbox. The Vantage only has .6 cubic feet of internal volume. It would seem that the Type-S is amuch better match to an enclosure this small than the 10W3 is.
Weakness:
none This is an outstanding subwoofer. Don't pay the extra cost for the Type-R's unless you need their added power handling ability. You won't be sorry with your purchase. Similar Products Used: JL Audio, Kicker |

Strength:
PRICE! Sound Material (these subs are build for a beating) Did i mention PRICE?
Weakness:
None, only that i cant fit 4 in my trunk.... :< These subs POUND for the price. At first I only had one bridged on my amp, and i was dissapointed, but when i slapped on another sub, i was blown away (physically) The mirrors on my car vibrate so much i cant tell if the cops are behind me or not. It makes the seats vibrate and even makes the CD player skip from time to time. Better than MTX, Sony, JBL, everything. Competition subs for a average-man price. Similar Products Used: I''ve seen my friends 2x10 JBL (P.O.S) Another friend has 2x10 MTX (Loud, but not as loud) Another friend has 1x12 Alpine, its loud, but as they say "2 subs are better than 1" |
