What makes a great subwoofer sound so good? For Alpine, it's the blend of high-quality materials and acute attention to detail in design. Each part works in harmony to play your music loudly and clearly.

Take Alpine's Type-R subwoofers, for example. They utilize six patented (two pending) innovations in the technology of creating bass to bring you some of the loudest, cleanest-sounding, and longest-living subs in their class. It's not just the up-to-date materials of the individual pieces — it's also the way they're put together, and even their very shapes, that contribute to the production of superior sound.
