Get a rush of clean, loud bass from a Type-S subwoofer, and you'll understand why so many car enthusiasts bask in Alpine sound. Housed in a heavy-gauge stamped steel frame, the SWS-1242D 12" sub brings out those forceful lows that your existing system can't produce.
Type-S subs use a Kevlar®-reinforced woofer cone for quick response and long-term dependability. The brushed aluminum finish on the cone matches the look of other Type-S speakers. A 3/4" Santoprene rubber surround promotes maximum cone travel, while an extended spider landing area provides extra excursion for full bass.
You'll enjoy distortion-free sound, thanks to a perimeter venting system that forces hot air away from the voice coil. The tinsel leads are built directly into the tear-resistant, dual progressive Nomex spiders for reliable service. The dual 4-ohm design lets you wire for high output or a multiple woofer setup.
The SWS-1242D is designed for use in sealed or vented enclosures.
Note: If you are wiring this DVC sub for lower impedance, make sure that your amp is compatible. Most car amplifiers are stable down to 2 ohms in standard mode, or 4 ohms in bridged operation.
