I have two of them in my boot in a sub box. They are shit hot and work very well. nice clear and deep bass. Played with both classic, dance, trance, house and grunge/rock. Use original CDs and mp3s. Great bass reprocussion on normal cds (of course) and sounds very clear and crisp. This is in my r33 skyline. Previous subs were 2 x clarion 10" and they were good (they were ported however in a vl to the parcel shelf) but the apline type-s are shit hot, much better than the clarions

its hooked to a monbloc amp and an alpine cda9807 head unit can give full specs if you want and more photos if you like. very good subs i got them on special

alpine type-r splits in the front (amped by 4 channel amp)

alpine type-s coaxial cabin speakers in the rear parcel shelf 2 ways (amped by 4 channel amp)

alpine type-s 12" subs in a sub box (amped by monobloc amp)

alpine cda9807 head unit

alpine ainet to rca adapter lead

all of that with sub box installed for $1850

zylex in dash dvd player (already had it)

carrozerria dash mounted colour lcd tv (already had it)

fantastic system for both audio / cds / mp3s and dvds (tv works while driving too :D

I have got a single Alpine SWS-1241 in my car... Its the double drive version, which i think kicks a little more.

Great for what i want it for, and in conjunction with a powerful monoblock kicks some good bass for a variety of different styles of music. You'd probably want 2 of them like paulR has for even better kick.

I think i paid about $160+postage for 1x about 12 months ago (near new). I think they were only about $220 each new 12 months ago though so not sure whether its any bargain or not you're getting :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
