You'd like to fit a monster subwoofer in your pickup or compact car, but you just don't have the room. Alpine's got the solution for you. The Type-S SWS-1243D 12" subwoofer stands only 5-1/16" tall, so you can fit realistic bass in tighter spots without giving up an ounce of sound quality.

Alpine starts with a one-piece pulp/fibre cone, reinforced with Kevlar® for uncompromising strength and accurate response. The tapered Santoprene™ rubber surround extends cone excursion and improves dynamics, so you can rock your Type-S subs without fear of a blowout. Advanced engineering gives you top performance while shaving 1-1/2" from the mounting depth of their previous Type-S 12" subwoofer.

Alpine builds the speaker leads into the spider, so they can't shake loose during extreme cone movement. A network of cooling vents reduces heat-induced distortion, so you can push your music and leave the meltdown worries behind. The dual 4-ohm voice coils give you more options for tweaking your bass, whether you're looking to wire up a multi-sub system or draw more power from your amplifier.

I am upgrading the sound in my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad-cab PU truck.  Among the  changes are radio (Alpine iDA-x305 head unit); the addition of a five-channel ampflifier (PDX- 5); and (any day now) new speakers (front:  Alpine 6x9" 69C's; rear:  JL Audio 6 1/2 inch C2- 600X).  I am no headbanger, but I like my sound accurate, clear and detailed.  The  subwoofers I researched needed to do those things, and still fit in the confines of my rear fold- up bench seat.  Enter the SWS1243D.  I had a heckuva time finding a good enclosure and  finally found a rock-solid, fits-like-a-glove box for  my rear driver's-side seat.  The subwoofer fit tightly inside the enclosure, and now rounds out  the bottom end of my music (rock, jazz, classical, folk, you name it).  It can rattle my  windows -- and those of my fellow drivers -- but I prefer accuracy to bloated bass.  And this  baby is very accurate, too.  Thank you, Crutchfield, for all of your help and professionalism to  all of your customers.


 
Alpine Type-S 12 October-20-08
Reviewer: David from Pullman, WA  
I bought two of these woofers this summer and hooked them up to a SP2 X-1600 that puts out 760 watts RMS @ 4 ohms bridged to the two woofers. I also have a one farad Rockford Frostgate capacitor hooked up to the amplifier. The subs preform really well. I had to turn the amp down to about 50% to get it so that I could hear anything not bass in the cab on my '92 Corolla. Im using a type one sealed box and it barely fit in my trunk. But I believe that the woofers were worth every penny, and I plan on buying some more if I ever need too. But I really doubt that I will because the handle the power and hard hitting bass so well. I won't recommend getting more then one of these if you want to listen to rock or metal. There is just to much going on. If I had a wired remote for my amp, maybe I could handle it, but thats something that is not compatible with my amp.

I bought this sub when my 4ohm blew when I hooked up
to my Alpine MRP-M450.  Going down to 2 ohms made the sound so much
better.  It also does great if you like listening to bass heavy music.  I stuck
in a CD of DJ Magic Mike and everything was shaking.  I guess I will have to
pick up some dyna mat.  This sub is a great fit for the trunk as well.  
Especially if you are tight on space.  Great sounding sub for use with a
small eclosure.
