As far as I know, they came out, then they were then recalled for a defect!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

as far as i konw they werent recalled, and if they were the Alpine company when i called them they failed to mention it. My brother owns one 12' brand new in the box and he is selling it still i think not sure, its 1000 RMS and 3000 PEAK but my bros trunk is too small for the box needed so his selling it if ur intrested let me konw

well how's it sound.... it doesn't requir ethat big of a box...only 2.0 cu ft ported. how would it compare to a d2 is my main question

ive only heard one setup with a d2 and heard 2 different setups of the TYPE x and i think the Type X is alot louder in SQ and SPL but hey it really depends on the setup and car...cuzz the one setup i heard the type x the other sounded alot louder with the ported the sealed......so if u do buy a type x go sealed ull be happy.....i swear man that type X has more bass than ull need lol

ever heard a Type-R setup? I've heard a few in vented/sealed enclosures, sounds pretty good especially for the price.

From what an Alpine dealer on another forum said, all the 12" Type X's were originally shipped with shorted voice coils. But Alpine was being an *** about it, and was going to make the dealer pay the shipping costs to ship the defective subs back to Alpine. So, I wouldn't be suprised if many dealers just sold the defective ones, and then are going to make Alpine cover them under the customer's warranty instead of paying for shipping back to Alpine.

well, if you're going for SQ, why would you want a big box and a lot of power? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
