Alpine Type S

[Randy Savage 5,000+ posts]

Award for the worst construction in a subwoofer goes to...the Alpine Type S!

2 of them didn't last longer then 5 seconds in my torture test...if Alpine used Elmers glue on the surrounds, they'd be more durable. Construction=teh ****.

Hope they don't use the same build quality on their Type R's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I'll try to get some pics up later tonight.

They used the cheapest glue you could possibly find on the surround. I think if I spit on it and let it dry it would do a better job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've got a few generic subs here that put up a better fight...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i believe it.....surrounds were glued together using manjuice, while the crackhead assemblers tried relentlessly to get high of non toxic glue somewhere in the far, far east...

alpine needs to stick to headunits and call it a day

i actually thought about what I just said and i think my tv should be at least 4 volts instead of 2.

BUT

the units are stil better than anything else

Alpine's head units piss me off ... They need to learn how to make a decent user interface without retarded crossover points and center frequencies on their lower/mid level units ...

haha thats why i went with pioneer p80mp...so easy to use then that alpine stuff , but i tell you alpine units do look nice, man do they....but...so does pioneer
