[QUOTE="ss3079, post: 80828, member: 542009"] Alpine Type VR 10” REVIEW Model # SWS-2587 8ohm (wired in parallel (4ohm)) 100RMS 200MAX I bought a pair of these subs a while back, for $225CA. I thought it wasn’t a bad price and plus he threw in a custom box. Of course, you wont be competing with these subs or anything, but as an entry-level sub they sound good and get fairly loud. I first put these subs in a custom bandpass box (I forget the cft) and they sounded decent. I was sending them about 140 watts and they bumped fairly hard. In the bandpass box, the subs almost seemed to “lock up” on certain frequencies. Played a variety of songs…Eminem – Stan sounded pretty good on most frequencies, Paul Okenfold – Starry Eyed Surprise sounded really good. I then placed these subs in a 1.25 cft sealed enclosure. Sent them about 140 watts again and they seemed to enjoy it. They sounded great and bumped fairly hard. Played the same two songs as above and they sounded pretty dam good, plus they got fairly loud. These subs could probably be compared to the lower RF’s (Punch?) and the MTX Thunder 4000/6000 series. They are a decent entry-level sub, for an entry-level system. Rating: Performance at high volume: 3.5/5 I gave this a 3.5 because there was some distortion at high volumes in the bandpass box, but the sealed box he’s yet to distort on me(4/5) Value: 4/5 Like I said, a decent entry level sub, if you can get them for cheap, play with them, they are very underrated. Sound Quality: 4/5 Sound great sealed, wouldn’t recommend bandpass unless your box is perfect. Durability: 4/5 They hold up fine, don’t send them too much power. Design/Appearance: 3.5/5 Alpine could’ve made them a lil’ prettier. - Steve PS: First review done by me(followed by a ton more I will be doing as time permits) PS x 2: This is only like the 3rd thread I've started...lol, gotta laugh at that.
