About the Alpine Type-X SWX-1042D
Bass alert Alpine's Type-X subwoofers bring the ultimate combination of power and performance to your sound system. Engineered with high output in mind, Alpine's top-of-the-line subs handle a mind-blowing 3,000 watts of peak power, while still reproducing the tight, low frequency detail that means great bass.
The SWX-1042D 10" subwoofer provides full bass by squeezing every last millimeter of excursion from the carbon fiber/aluminum honeycomb cone, thanks to its high-roll Santoprene rubber surround. A patent-pending basket design uses air channels in the frame to force out hot air and miminize distortion. It all adds up to huge output and terrific sound quality.
The reinforced tinsel lead design places both terminals on the same side, providing easier installation and wiring. The unique terminals easily accept high-gauge speaker wire. The SWX-1042D 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.

Product Research
Cone Materials: This Alpine Type-X subwoofer has a carbon fiber, aluminum honeycomb parabolic cone with a Kevlar-reinforced pulp underside.
HAMRS: The woofer features a High Amplitude Multi Roll Surround (HAMRS), made of injection molded Santoprene, that allows for an incredible amount of linear excursion and greater SPL.
Screw Cover Gaskets: The woofer includes two rubber gaskets to cover the screw holes, one for top mounting and the other for bottom mounting.
Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: The SWX-1042D features dual 4-layer voice coils which utilize 220?C high-temperature wire with Inner/Outer Winding on a Twin-Wall brass/aluminum former. Dual voice coil woofers offer flexibility in wiring. When the voice coils are wired in parallel with each other, the woofer presents a 2 ohm mono load. When the voice coils are wired in series with each other, the woofer presents an 8 ohm mono load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 4 ohm load.
Terminal Block: The speaker terminals are all located on one side in a machined gold-plated terminal block with 2.5mm Allen-head set screws (an Allen wrench is included). There are slots provided for the supplied voice coil jumpers.
Jumpers: The woofer is equipped with two gold-plated voice coil connection jumpers. These jumpers allow you to wire the voice coils in parallel (for a 2-ohm load) or series (for an 8-ohm load).
Mirrored Progressive Nomex Spiders: This subwoofer has twin mirrored progressive Nomex spiders for added stability and mechanical durability. The custom progressive rolls gives the woofer a longer, more linear stroke (over 23mm one way) with maximum centering and restoring force. Special edge control design and Nomex construction provide excellent tear resistance, strength and long-term reliability. The woofer has dual braided silver tinsel speaker leads that are woven into the spiders for the one-sided terminal layout.
Cast Aluminum Frame: The Type-X woofers utilize a custom, one-piece, cast aluminum frame. The unique design provides the ultimate in voice coil cooling, creating a one-way airflow, keeping hot air from coming into contact with the voice coil. The frame features an integrated spider landing and heat transfer plate.
Multi-Stage Ventilation System: The SWX-1042D has a multi-stage ventilation system with the following features:
- Cone/Voice Coil Junction Venting: The unique parabolic cone and voice coil attachment piece help to pull cool air into the motor structure.
- Spider Plateau/Leg Vent System: Two vertical slits are cut into each of the four "legs" of the basket below the spider to allow cool air to flow in and heated air to flow out.
- Dual Flare Pole: Optimizes airflow into the motor structure across the billet copper shorting sleeves and thermal coupling heat dissipation plate to increase cooling.
Magnet: The woofer is equipped with triple-stacked strontium magnets with an overall magnet weight of 130 ounces.
Recommended Sealed Box Volume: The sealed box sizes recommended by Alpine range from 0.5 cu/ft to 1.0 cu/ft. with an ideal volume of 0.65 cu/ft.
Recommended Vented Box Volume: The vented box sizes recommended by Alpine range from 0.8 cu/ft to 1.5 cu/ft. with an ideal volume of 1.25 cu/ft. A slot vent, with the dimensions of 11" x 1" x 22", is recommended.
