ALPINE Type R's past models

[couchlockd]

i thinking of getting 2 12" alpine type r's. the new ones are the 12D4 models

but the older two models prior to that are plentiful around here used on CL and the like.

were there any issues with past models like the 1243d

or the 1242d

they few times i have heard an alpine typre r, i felt they were pretty damned decent, they took power and sounded good.

i like them they seem tight, and meaty enough to take a beating from a p1000x1

so alpine users, any models to stear clear of, or is there one known to have a better option along the way, or is the newest one the one to get.??

If you can get them for a good price go for it. I ran 4 of the older ones in my car at one point in time, I loved them. They sounded great, took more than rated power and were plenty loud.

I have 2 SWR-12D2 (the new ones) in my tahoe at the moment pushing 800rms to each and they shake that truck like crazy. Currently upgrading to 2 Sundown SA18's (;
