Unboxing Alpine Type R8!!! Lil SQ (Sound Quality) Monster 

Those type r are the truth cause the old series of them in the right enclosure sound beyond amazing

My very 1st amplifier was an Alpine. In those days Alpine was top of the line and very expensive in the early 90s. I was so proud of that thing and it was only 120 watts 60 rms.😅

Type Rs are what made me start building boxes back in 2016. Had a guy down the street from me with 2 12 type R (older model SWR-1242d) in a Chevy Avalanche in an undersized prefab box and they still sounded amazing. He would rattle my windows and walls from a good 300+ feet away. I couldnt imagine how much better they wouldve sounded in a spec box. My buddy had a single 12 type S in a spec box and it would rattle the metal sign menu bolted to the outside brick wall at our local ice cream shop from the other side of the building and parking lot, great SQ as well very smooth clean sounding subs from Alpine 👍

Always been a big fan of Alpine! Nice to see you looking at one of their drivers!

Keep dropping that 🔥!!! We enjoy your content my boy!! Thank you 🙏🏼✊🏼 showing love all the way from DFW Texas.

Love Alpine, My first set of amps were the 2 Alpine Mrv 1000s pushing 2 Atomic hpw 1599 and they sounded great, a very solid company indeed.

I have a pair type R on PDX amps and a pair type X on their MRX-m240 amp. Never had any issue with either pair. Its also great that Alpine provides exact dimensions for their enclosure for the average user

Glad to finally see an Alpine on hear MB

Type r can get loud especially the 15s ..well the older type r with the big r on the cone with that surround .....one of the best for a daily banger

Maaaan bout time. Love my Type R 12’s so clean.

I'm a fan of the Alpine type X subs. They get good deep bass with proper enclosure, has great power handling and is efficient.

I use to run the type rs...... very good subs for the performance level offered and SQ.

I had the type r gray ones and they were clean sounding,dig low and loud

Accordion surround actually came from JBL back in the early 90s JBL GTI 1000 Watt subwoofer, one of my favorite best sounding subs my ears very heard. I’ll never forget that sound,, back in 1994 hearing 2 GTI 15s on 2 punch 200’s big sealed box in my cousin ford explore

Nice review.. I feel like mb is fair with his reviews.. he finds the woofers best attributes and applications.. he could have just scoffed at the small vc.. but he discovered its vas may help people in limited space . Good job sir🎉

I'm a Kenwood head unit man myself

Bring back the old school bass. It's been years since I've have a good Alpine install. I'm thinking about getting a pair of type r d2 12s to see what a moderate day amp and low tone box can do with them.

I'm ready for my fosgate entry. From what i gather, high kicker sensitivity, plus fosgate dampening will equal all the trunk violence i need for now. Ppl keep saying go with kicker or alpine amp, but cant keep spending money for the same thing💯

Best part is the low wattage. You can run I solid system with changing your electrical system

Now you can make a dual box setup for the trucks that have the transmission hump. 2 of those per box. Just an idea.

I remember the xtypes from back in the day

Them type r subs will dig deep in a ported box. There is a guy putting type r subs in a single reflex bandpass doing hair tricks .

Old Klipsch subwoofers from 80s and older have that style surround

been wondering how these subs sound the type x looks real nice and theres the type s to i know back 25 years ago before the type series my buddy hade a pair of 15s on a kenwood 920 amp and i guess the amp was 100 by 100 clean power he had them in 2 boxes i wanna say the were 4th order sub was seeled then had like a 4inch open slot in front of sub so the port was faceing up in a small square body blazer on a alpine cd player and kenwood eq they saprized me this was the chronic album came out lol

Been a fan of alpine when it come to units but now that i watched this video i gotta get me a pair of alpine subs

Alpine type r very clean sub🫶🏾

Then i let the alpine play! You were talking to me about the alpine clarion and kenwood OG my guy

If they would bring back the Type R 15s Id be all over it. Still have my Typr R 12 in the garage

Full range 2 channel amp at 1500 rms on 4 of them an you will have a nice sound in a lsmall space.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts after you've played it in an enclosure. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hey back in 98-99 I had a Alpine v12 240 watt amp pushing a single 10” mtx 7500 in a Virtual Technologies truck box which was the first bed liner box I’ve ever seen and she made my little Nissan 4x4 beat the block down no one ever believed it was a single 10

It’s a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Type R will never disappoint

These Alpine Type R 8s or JL 8W3 ? Im looking to do a SQ build with maybe 3 or 4 subwoofers, that still kicks hard ! I'll get a 1200 to 1500W RMS Amp to drive them. Appreciate any experience with both subs !

💯

I can’t wait to see more on this driver. I got excited when you mentioned four 8s. Which lead me to looking at Alpines S series amplifiers. Specs had the dampening factor listed for more than 750. Unless I’m missing something, the S2-A120m might be worth checking out.

Alpine subwoofer is pretty good type R's

Hey bro do u think tuned 31hz is the lowest u can go b4 u lose ur highs 40hz n up? Just wondering becuz i do play rebassed alot and love the 31hz deep bass and also down to 28hz, but I do love the high bass as well mainly 39-41hz my favorite. Thoughts? Thanks mb been fan of urs for years now learned majority of my knowledge from ur channel.

I had 2 12’s in 4 cubes @30hz and it slammed.

I remember having a 1200 mono v12 on a 9500 sledge hammer MTX BUT ALPINE FAIL OFF WHEN THEY CAME OUT WITH THE NEW TYPE R they didn’t use the same technology to build a new one the old ones are stronger

Do you have any plans testing out the NVX VCW82v3? Im wondering for the price are they any good.

I've hurd a single Alpine type R 12 in person, the guy was in the same compound with me but he was parked below an huge open shed warehouse and the volume on his head unit was a little under half and I'm not joking, the entire warehouse was rattling 😮 I've got to say in 2023 this sub is still expensive but it's worth it, I believe it can go up against some of the modern big brands on the market

Alpine r8 in a .75cu ft/sub Tuned to whatever you want 👍🏽

Put 4 in your truck and lets see what they can do... db test

Sensitivity rating is absolutely garbage
