Feed your Alpine Type-X subwoofer some serious power, and it'll unleash powerful bass to enhance your journey. And Alpine's advanced design, quality materials, and rigorous construction ensure that you'll get years of reliable use.

The SWX-1243D 12" subwoofer features a 3-layer cone — a layer of Kevlar®, a layer of plastic film, and a bottom layer of pulp reinforced with Kevlar. This design provides outstanding response and accuracy, while the cone's parabolic shape maintains rigidity and strength. The multi-roll Santoprene™ rubber surround maximizes the cone's performance with its ability to go deep. The concealed mounting gasket gives your sub installation a clean look.

On the inside, the SWX-1243D is all business. A massive, triple-stacked strontium magnet anchors the sub, while the single-piece cast aluminum frame and motor support holds provides the backbone you'll need for big bass. Increased venting and heat dissipation areas keep your sub running cool, so it'll survive conditions that would destroy lesser speakers. This bruiser can handle up to 1,000 watts RMS, so don't hesitate to give it some juice.

You can wire the dual 4-ohm voice coils to get the optimum performance from your amp, or to configure a custom setup with multiple subwoofers. Rock the bass the way you want to with the mighty Type-X subwoofer.

Note: If you are wiring this DVC sub for lower impedance, make sure that your amp is compatible. Most 2-channel car amplifiers are stable down to 2 ohms in standard mode, or 4 ohms in bridged operation.

clean hitting April-17-11
Reviewer: Alpine Fan from challis idaho  
I would definitely recommend this sub, for someone who likes clean precise bass that hits real low tones. I have one of these in my grand Cherokee, and am very happy with the sound quality of the x. I have two alpine type r's in my eclipse. The x seems to hit the low tones better than the r's however the x is not as loud. Thanks alpine.


 
Great Sub February-25-11
Reviewer: jarvas36 from Phoenix AZ  
Pushed this sub hard everyday for almost five years straight. Only got rid of it
since my new vehicle would've had a hard time carrying the weight and electrical
demand. I first used this sub in a slot vented enclosure originally designed for
a Power series Rockford 12 and was able to hit a solid 142-145 decibels using an
Infinity 1211a amp. I then put the sub in a vented enclosure that was built to
Alpine's specs and enjoyed the best of both worlds. Both low and clean tight bass.

Reviewer: Anonymous person from raleigh nc  
i love this sub. lots of bass.


 
Get a type R. February-23-10
Reviewer: Kaptacular from Homer Glen, IL  
I had 2 of these Alpine Type-X subwoofers powered by 2 Alpine M1000 amplifiers.
They sounded good, very close to how the Type-R's sounded, just a bit lower hitting.
My left sub blew after a year, and I never really beat on it. I've had type r's for 2.5 years before I upgraded to type x's. I regret doing so.
