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

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
