SWR-T12 12" Type-R High Performance Thin Car Subwoofer

A New Generation of the Unrivaled Type-R

The Type-R Thin subwoofer series combines the intense low-bass performance and ground-shaking output of the traditional Type-R subwoofers in a thin package optimized for extremely small enclosures.

Key Benefits:

More Mounting Options without Compromise
The Type-R Thin series have been engineered to offer more installation flexibility and application versatility to build the ideal sound system. At 3-1/4 deep for the 10 and 3-1/2 deep for the 12, these subs provide deep bass performance where it normally couldnt fit. And the 0.35 cubic foot (SWR-T10) and 0.6 cubic foot (SWR-T12) ideal enclosure sizes mean great bass performance can go just about anywhere in your vehicle.

Exclusive Alpine Technologies Ensure High Performance
The new Type-R Thin boasts no less than 7 unique Alpine technologies in its industry-first design. These innovations allow the Type-R Thin to have the output and power handling of the traditional Type-R series in less than half the depth. The new Type-R Thin design has the same DNA of the standard Type-Rs - demanding cleaner, deeper bass extension, faster, more accurate transients and even greater output capability.

Revolutionary Segmented Spider Design Provides the Excursion of a Tall Subwoofer
You can count on Type-R Thins to deliver strong, impactful output like its predecessors. Most shallow-mount subwoofers have less output than traditional deep subwoofers, since their shallow frame limits how far their cones can move at high power levels. The Type-R Thin uses Alpines patent pending Pass-Through Gap Geometry, allowing the unique Thermoplastic Elastomer Segmented Spider to completely pass through the motor structure. This means the cone and voice coil assembly have the clearance needed for over 50mm of peak-to-peak excursion, allowing for massive output even in such a shallow frame.

Consistent, Reliable Performance out of the Box
Theres no need to play your sub for hours to break it in to achieve consistent performance. This sub is designed to deliver consistent performance right out of the box. Since this revolutionary design is made with an injection mold resin, rather than phenolic stiffened textile, this new spider requires no break in to achieve ideal performance. A Co-Molded Aluminum collar attaches the voice coil to the spider to ensure a reliable, high-strength design.

More VC Control in a Smaller, Lightweight Package
Type-R Thins 1.5lb neodymium magnet has 5x the magnetic strength than standard ferrite magnets used for most subwoofers. This powerful magnet combined with a massive 4 (100mm) voice coil delivers increased power handling and more accurate, louder, cleaner bass with even more control.

Lightweight Cone Materials Designed to Perform
Heavy-duty magnet assembly calls for heavy-duty cone materials. A specially engineered cone is reinforced by an injection-molded force transfer assembly, giving the cone structure outstanding stiffness while minimizing moving mass . A centering ring in the force transfer assembly is also engineered to lock the voice coil assembly in place. This makes the entire piston assembly extremely strong and linear.

Keep it Cool = Keep it Playing
The new cast aluminum frame is directly coupled to the machined aluminum shorting sleeve assembly. This allows the entire frame to act as a heat sink for sustained power handling, even in the most extreme of applications.
